When Mel Brooks came out with his Star Wars spoof in 1987, a full decade after George Lucas released his first film, I thought at first that Brooks was arriving to the party, and the subject, a little late. After all, how many people still cared that much about Star Wars? I was so wrong, and Brooks was so right, that Spaceballs remains the biggest seller on home video among all of Brooks’ comedy classics. And on a night when another network, TCM, is saluting costume design, give Spaceballs a nod, too – especially for the way John Candy plays a canine Chewbacca type as Barf (pictured), Rick Moranis is a diminutive Darth Vader as the oddly proportioned Dark Helmet, and Brooks himself is delivers a perfect Yoda parody as Yogurt. May the farce be with you…
