More about Spaceballs:
In director Mel Brooks’ Star Wars satire, the planet ‘Spaceball’ is trying to steal the atmosphere of its peaceful neighboring planet, ‘Druidia.’ Bill Pullman is Lone Star, a freelance space jockey; John Candy is Barf the Mawg (half-man,half-dog); Rick Moranis is the constantly complaining, yet evil Lord Dark Helmet; Daphne Zuniga is Princess Vespa; and Mel Brooks is both Scroob, the president of Spaceball and Yogurt, a very wise old man who keeps telling everyone ‘May the Schwartz be with you!’
