Spaceballs 2? Josh Gad Teases Sequel, and the Internet is Losing Its Mind!
Mel Brooks’ Universe Strikes Back… Maybe? It’s been nearly four decades since Mel Brooks gifted the world with Spaceballs, the 1987 parody masterpiece that hilariously skewered Star Wars and practically every other sci-fi trope imaginable.

Seven years ago today, the Star Wars galaxy expanded, at least theoretically, when Lucasfilm announced Rian Johnson would helm an all-new Star Wars trilogy. If you’re scratching your head and wondering, “Wait, what happened to that?” — congratulations, you’re not alone.

So, what’s the deal? Grab your lightsabers, and let’s journey through the saga of hope, confusion, and endless speculation. The Big Announcement: A New Trilogy Awaits! Back in 2017, fresh off the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Lucasfilm dropped the mic (and subsequently tripped on it) by announcing that Rian Johnson would create a brand-new Star Wars trilogy. Fans were promised fresh characters, stories untethered from the Skywalker saga, and, presumably, fewer lightsaber-throwing controversies. At the time,…

Ah, the grand galaxy of Star Wars, where epic space battles rage, the Force flows, and lightsabers ignite in dazzling displays of Jedi skill. But for all the flash and dazzle, do you know what really makes the galaxy tick? Nope, it’s not the Force, or even the Jedi Council’s questionable decision-making. It’s economics, baby! Trade disputes, taxes, and economic policies have a bigger role in galactic politics than even Jar Jar Binks (shocking, I know). To understand why a movie series set “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” cares so much about trade disputes, we have to dig deep into how economic power defines political power. So, buckle up, hyperspace travelers, as we embark on a journey exploring how trade, blockades, and cold, hard credits make the wheels of galactic politics turn. A Galaxy Shaped by Credits: Economic Foundations in Star Wars Let’s be real…
