Space Balls 2 Is Finally Happening – And the Trailer Has Me Hyped
A video popped up on my feed claiming to be a Space Balls 2 trailer. At first, I thought it was fake—because, let’s be honest, we’ve all seen those fake trailers on YouTube. You know the ones: a friend sends you a link saying, “Did you see the trailer for this?” and you immediately respond, “That’s fake.”
But this time? After a second or two, I realized—this might actually be real. And sure enough, Space Balls 2 is officially happening.
A Mel Brooks Classic Returns
For those who might not know, Space Balls is an absolute Mel Brooks masterpiece—a Star Wars spoof from an era when parody films weren’t just hilarious, they were art. And let me tell you, this trailer is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time—and it’s just text!
The trailer cleverly highlights all the movies and franchises that have come out since the original Space Balls, proving there might have been even better times to release a Star Wars spoof—like during the peak Phantom Menace hype. Speaking of which, I remember hearing rumors back then about a Space Balls prequel. Did that ever happen? Honestly, I don’t even know if that rumor was real—or just a real rumor, if you catch my drift.
The Big Questions
Now, the biggest question on everyone’s mind: Is Rick Moranis coming out of retirement for this? And, of course, the late John Candy (RIP) won’t be returning, which means the sequel will definitely feel different.
What about Lord Helmet, President Skroob, and Colonel Sanders? Are they still stuck on the Planet of the Apes? And if they are, will they be CGI apes now? More importantly—will the movie joke about them being CGI apes? Because that’s the beauty of Space Balls—it broke the fourth wall in ways Deadpool could only dream of.
Mel Brooks: A Legend at 98
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the fact that Mel Brooks is 98 years old and still blessing us with Space Balls 2. Absolute legend. I wish him good health—not just for this movie, but because he’s a cinematic treasure. And honestly? The fact that he’s still creating at 98 is downright inspiring. I hope I’m still doing anything at that age.
Why This Trailer Has Me Excited
I haven’t been this hyped for a movie in years. There’s so much material to work with now—so many franchises, so many tropes to mock. Space Balls 2 has endless content to pull from, and if anyone can make it work, it’s Mel Brooks.
Side note: I once saw a Mel Brooks movie collection that didn’t include Space Balls. Unacceptable. Outrageous. Unfair. How do you have a Mel Brooks collection without Space Balls?
What Will It Be Called?
The real question is—will it be titled Space Balls 2: The Search for More Money? Because if so, perfect.
And let’s be real—if early reactions later claim the humor is “archaic” or “tasteless” by today’s standards, that’ll just make me more excited. Space Balls was never about playing it safe.
