The 8th and 9th Star Wars movies were such a mess. What if space balls 2 parodied these movies, but ended up with a more coherent plot?

- ysavir 1y agoReminds me of the episode of 30 Rock where, in an effort to get back at Weird Al for satirizing her song, Jenna makes a song that's too silly to parody. So Weird Al makes an authentic version out of the silly song in a de-parody.

- ahartmetz 1y agoThe new Star Wars mess makes it trivial to do a better job than the originals. It's been done before - recent (to me, because I watched Too Gun 1 to prepare for 2) example: Hot Shots has some clever humor, Top Gun is really a pretty dumb movie. (Top Gun 2 is like a juvenile action flick for adult sensibilities - if that sounds good, you can watch it. It's a quality effort in many aspects.)
- wkat4242 1y agoWhat I thought was funny about Top Gun 2 that the site they attack is pretty much based on the uranium enrichment site at Natanz in Iran. But in real life this was not attacked by hotshot pilots but by a computer virus. Pretty telling how it lives in the past. But yeah it's a movie of course and top gun 1 wasn't intelligent either as you say.

- wkat4242 1y agoyou have great foresight.
- RajT88 1y agoI thought Iran for sure due to the planes they had on hand. But the enemy is never named in the movies. I always found that odd. At war, with a nameless enemy. Perhaps apt in a way.

- cassianoleal 1y agoThe Orville came right on the back of Discovery being the mess that it was. And it really did hit the spot!
