• Knowing how beloved the original was, I finally watched it recently. In order to like it I’d have to overlook how offensively the Leia parody was written. It’s a depiction I’d expect from a boomer chud who can’t get laid.

    I do not intend to watch the sequel.

      • Why? because characters in blazing saddles were racist? No, that movie was great and doesn’t fall into the issue I’m complaining about. Now, if the main character was a racist characature, then I’d take issue.

        Blazing saddles makes fun of racists. Spaceballs makes fun of women.

          It’s easy to infer you wouldn’t understand considering your lack of understanding for what they were doing on Spaceballs. I guess you’re just more comfortable with racism so it let you notice what was actually going on.
