SPACEBALLS: THE WILD MASS GUESSING PAGE
Druidia was not the first planet that got preyed upon by the Spaceballs.
The main clue to this theory is the Druidian air shield. Why would a planet install such a cost-intensive device if there weren't already some known cases of "air theft" in the galaxy? It may be that other races than the Spaceballs also prey on planets for their air, but it might as well be possible that the Spaceballs themselves didn't do it for the first time. Or both.- The Spaceballs reputation for air-theft is noted in the opening text crawl.
- Besides, they're Druish. They wouldn't let a single molecule of air escape if they had a way to keep it around.
- It probably wouldn't have been the last time either. Dark Helmet notes that under Skroob, 10,000 years worth of air probably won't last a hundred.
- And their planet was originally Earth or more specifically the United States, Mega Maid looks far too much like the Statue of Liberty.
Spaceballs The Animated Series was an evil plot by the Spaceballs.
They plotted, quite brilliantly, to destroy all good faith in the movie, thus disrupting all future attempts at a sequel or merchandising, thus depriving Yogurt of his source of income and leaving him weakened for the coming battle!- Of course! On a more serious note, though, Mel Brooks ruled out all possibilities of a sequel when John Candy died.
Lone Starr is the "canonical" mind-wiped Revan.
- Hey, Rino Romano is the voice for both Revan in KOTOR, and Lone Starr (in the animated series).
- They both learned how to the the Force (or "da Schwartz") with minimal training.
- One of the classes you can play in KOTOR is a Scoundrel.
- Lone Starr doesn't seem to know anything about his past. Plausible enough to make it a lie.
- If Vespa and Bastila find one another, that's gonna be the mother of all catfights.
- Wait, Revan has lines? (Yes, the lines he says when he picks locks, sets mines, etc.)
- The one problem I find with your theory: Lone Starr's royal heritage. While no one on Revan's team would have reason to go "hey, aren't you a prince?", you'd think Malak would go "AND! you're also a bastard prince" during his deconstruction of Revan when they first meet.
Lone Starr and Helmet are former roommates.
I Am Your Father's Brother's (Lone Starr's Uncle) Nephew's (Lone Starr's Cousin) Cousin's (Lone Starr) Former Roommate.- The reason Helmet hates Lone Starr so much was because whenever Lone Starr used up all the jam, he would invariably replace it with strawberry.
- Raspberry. Because only one man would dare give him the raspberry.
- Or he could be Lone Starr's cousin's former roommate and hates Lone Starr because of something involving raspberries that happened at a party.
- Actually, "father's brother's nephew" brings it back to Lone Starr. Then add "cousin", making it Lone Starr's (probably first) cousin. Then "former roommate" would be brother (if during childhood) or Total Stranger (if in adulthood). The latter is most likely ("What does that make us? Absolutely nothing!). However that still means Dark Helmet not only knew Lone Starr's cousin, but that that person WAS Lone Starr's cousin. On the other hand, Evil Lies ("You said you'd let her go!" "I lied."), and he could have just been making the whole thing up. (And, to make things worse, if he was telling the truth, he never said the cousin was male. It could have been Princess Vespa. Which makes Dark Helmet's infatuation with her not as sudden as it seemed, and, yes, Princess Vespa marries her cousin, which was common practice in Medieval Europe in order to keep money and power in the family, and could be a joke of itself.)
- No, it could be Lone Starr himself, if the nephew is by his father's other brother or sister.
- Or the nephew could be by marriage (the son of his father's brother's wife's sibling)
Lone Starr is the Rightful Heir to the Kingdom of Spaceball.
- When the villainous President Skroob seized power, The Dragon Dark Helmet (who was a member of the Royal Entourage due to being etc-etc-roommate) killed the Royal Family. But the Royal Family's faithful Mawg retainers spirited the Infant Prince away to a monastery. This explains why Dark Helmet hunted Lone Starr before the movie (he knew that Lone Starr was the Lost Prince, due to the family resemblance and him having a Mawg retainer).
Lone Starr's name is actually an alias.
The last name Starr isn't that awkward, but naming someone Lone? It's got to be a pseudonym- Or his parents assumed he'd become a loner who drifts from space port to space port with only his ship and his furry friend and gave him a name to suit it (hoping to god that he didn't enter an occupation that involves extensive socializing).
- Or some Asshole civil servant back on his homeworld misspelled his name on his birth certificate. It should be Lorne Starr.
The fragments of Spaceball One is the Statue of Liberty arm found in Planet of the Apes.
That means it's not a future Earth. It still is literally another planet.- This is literally the joke of that scene.
One of Lone Starr's parents are distant relatives to King Roland.
How else would they be a king and queen?- Um, they're from another planet? Or maybe just another country?
Dark Helmet murdered Lone Starr's parents.
Think about it. Why would his parents, who were royalty, abandon him in the care of a group of monks? Something bad must have been after them. And we know that Helmet knew Lone Starr's family, since he was his father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. At some point, Helmet turned to the Down Side of the Schwartz and betrayed and murdered the Starrs. Dark Helmet assassinated all the other princes in the Galaxy.
Their entire plan seemed to hinge on Vespa pulling a runner at the altar— what better way to ensure this than by making sure her other option was the most odious potential husband ever? By leaving Valium the only prince left, they could ensure that Vespa would flee the planet.- His line "I hope its a long ceremony, cuz its gonna be a short honeymoon" has a whole new meaning.
- Actually, their lines indicate that they were planning on kidnapping her as she left for the honeymoon, anyway. The fact that she ran away before the marriage just meant they didn't have to deal with her idiot husband.
Pizza the Hutt is a Pizza Elemental
You can find one as an easter egg, and, predictably, it is enormously difficult. Pizza the Hutt is very feared for perhaps this reason.The radar technician (played by Michael Winslow) is the only non-Asshole.
He's that one who didn't raise his hand when Helmet asked who's an Asshole in the ship. Just because.- Though he may be an asshole, but not an Asshole in name. It's hard to tell.
- This may be the reason he's the only semi-competent Spaceball on deck.
Vespa's mother was assassinated.
She was dead by the time Vespa was getting married. Though it's never explained how she died or when, it's possible she was killed (possibly by a Spaceball spy or assassin). They may have used a gun. This explains why Vespa Doesn't Like Guns. Which adds to the ironic humor that she used a gun because a Spaceball trooper shot her hair. The one who shot her hair may even be her mother's killer. Pizza the Hutt didn't commit suicide...
We saw Vinnie eating Pizza. He even said "you're delicious!" Vinnie is a gangster, probably lacking scruples of any kind. Given that Pizza is such a powerful crime lord, it's likely he has many assistants, and Vinnie was simply his most trusted one. And given what we already know about Vinnie, it's likely the other gangsters are even less trustworthy.What probably happened was thus: several of Pizza's underlings, led by Vinnie, decided they'd had enough of their boss (either due to poor treatment, or simply thinking Pizza was "bad for business"), and they plotted his demise. They lured him into his limousine, drove out to the middle of nowhere, declare a pizza party and attacked. They then made his death appear to be a suicide, so it was reported that he "ate himself to death."
Prince Valium is narcoleptic.
He matches some of the listed symptoms: - falling asleep at inappropriate times throughout the day, the experiencing of chronic pervasive sleepiness and fatigue and produce poor concentration and attention with effects on short term memory. Spaceballs actually takes place in the Star Wars universe
The Millennium Falcon does have a brief cameo at the "Space Stop"
◊ Starr and Barf hit for gas. The Spaceballs weren't actually running out of air.
They believe there is an air shortage, and planets like Druidia were taking advantage of their ignorance. The Druidians convinced the Spaceballs that they needed air so they could sell it to them at a significant markup. This bit them in the rear when the Spaceballs decided to steal Druidia's air instead.- Either that, or, since it's implied that people can breathe in space, that they are too stupid to realize that.
President Skroob's first name is Lem
Because his name an anagram of Mel Brooks.
If there is a sequel, it will be titled The Schwartz Awakens
Now that the entire Star Wars sequel trilogy has been released, it would only make sense for there to be a Spaceballs sequel to go with it.
- However, it seems very unlikely we'll ever see a Spaceballs sequel.
- Also, there was No SpaceBalls Prequel
- Technically there was. The first episode of Spaceballs: The Animated Series did a parody of the prequels.
Skroob's new combination will be 67890
Because it's President Skroob. Of course it would be.
- If he chose the new code himself, but he clearly orders to have someone else do it (if he can't make decisions, than whoever does that for him must be competent enough to avoid that or he'd have caused Skroob to loose office ages ago)
Zircon and Snotty are in a relationship.
Based on her remarks that Snotty "beamed her twice last night, and it was wonderful"
