Celebrate funnyman Mel Brooks’ 100th Birthday with this affectionate spoof of Star Wars. Space mercenary Captain Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) battles the diabolical Dark Helmut (Rick Moranis) (“I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate!”) while John Candy is the half man, half dog Barf (“I am my own best friend!”) Brooks plays two roles: the incompetent President Skroob and the Yiddish-speaking wiseman Yogurt. (“May the Schwartz be with you!”)

Director: Mel Brooks

Cast: Mel Brooks, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, George Wyner, Michael Winslow
