Storyline
King Roland of the planet Druidia is trying to marry his daughter Princess Vespa to Prince Valium, but Vespa is kidnapped by the evil race of the Spaceballs. The Spaceballs ask Roland a tremendous ransom: all the air of Druidia (you see, the air of Spaceball had serious pollution problems...). The King decides to offer a generous amount of money to a space rogue, Lone Starr, to persuade him to save Vespa. What follows is the parody of a _LOT_ of famous SF movies. Written by Flavio Rizzardi <spillo@maya.dei.unpid.it>

Trivia
In one scene, Lonestar says he was born "somewhere in the Ford Galaxy." This is a joke-reference to a model of car produced by the Ford company (the Ford Galaxie 500), as well as to Harrison Ford of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Roland solicits help from Lone Starr, they talk like they know each other (after all, Roland hails him by name), yet Lone Starr and Barf act surprised that they have picked up a Druish princess. See more »Quotes
