Um, Spaceballs came out after Star Wars and Alien, 1986 I believe. The whole Spaceball City thing? Look at the federation ships in TPM. The balls (quiet, perverts) in the middle detach and land. Naboo looks like Druidia? It's just a nice looking planet! PIZZA the Hutt is a rip-off of JABBA the hutt. PIZZA is supposed to be making fun of JABBA! I don't know what you're thinking. Oh, and the whole BTTF2 thing, simple. George died after Marty was born, and Doc never used the time machine because Biff had him commited. So Marty could be in SWITZERLAND, not France. The reason there were two was because he came from an alternate timeline. There were also 2 Doc's, one in his lab, and one in the mental institute. Sorry to get off topic, but I wanted to clear that up happy

You are so right, Scooby! Perhaps when you advise Mel to seek counsel for these blatant infractions, you should pass along the same advice to Weird Al! GL stole the whole plot from his song, and I think there are other singers who've taken Al's other song ideas. What a world!!! grin

TeeHee - This is actually one of the funniest threads I've seen! Kudos, Scooby! cool

This is all so true! I bet you those aliens could sing, you know? They are damn smart! They look smarter than Alf and we all know that Alf can sing circles around any of the Grammy winners out there.

You know what else is weird?! Yogurt and President Skroob are played by the same guy! So, if Star Wars is copying off of Spaceballs...

President Skroob (main Bad Guy)=Yogurt

Emperor (main Bad Guy)= Yoda?!?

Think about it! I think this is a clue to the major twist we will be seeing in episode III!

Well,
SpaceBalls DID have an intergalactic diner
way before AOTC...
And if you think of a midichlorian count as being a prominent factor... a Jedi's blood could be considered... LIQUID SCHWARTZ?

And how about all of the luggage Anakin and Padme were carting between Coruscant and Naboo...
It's funny... she doesn't LOOK Druish...

Check Please!!!

Well, that waitress droid in AOTC did resemble Dot Matrix...

Also, all the "classic" westerns were a blatant ripoff from Blazing Saddles!

SW may have ripped off fr Spaceballs, but Spaceballs copied Hardware Wars!

Good lord good lord kenobi kenobi, i must say, youre right youre right! If, as was shown in the canonical parallel that is SPACEBALLS the movie, President Scroob is Yogurt, The Emperor/Palpy must be Yoda. Lucas is a copycat. No, wait Harry Conncik Jr. was the copycat. Who made Harry Connick Jr. a serial killer?Truly, i ask you? If you enjoy this serious discussion, please also see my Obi Wan Kenobi is a Clawdite thread. In the words of myself :"Riveting", or in the words of Kermit :"Ribbiting" Hiho.

Let's not forget the plight of our brethren, the Dinks--shamefully ripped off by all those cheap wanna-be's! What'd they call themselves; Ya-Yas, or something?

(For the humor-impaired, yes, this thread is a joke.) tongue
