So we may be getting Spaceballs 2 and it’s all thanks to … JOSH GAD?? Some may be excited at the prospect of revisiting this classic parody, others (like me) are more skeptical.

It started with a cryptic social media post from actor Josh Gad, announcing that a script for a potential “Spaceballs” sequel has been completed. This news has sparked speculation and excitement among fans, especially since the script is reportedly written by the team behind “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.”

But let’s be honest, it’s been over three decades since the release of the first “Spaceballs” film. Are they just jumping on the sequel bandwagon now? It almost feels like a desperate attempt to cash in on nostalgia and the success of other franchise sequels (looking at you, “Fast and Furious”).

So yeah, Josh Gad as a co-writer. While he may have proven his comedic chops in “Frozen,” that doesn’t automatically make him qualified to write a successful parody like “Spaceballs.” It’s a bold move to put an actor in charge of such an iconic and beloved franchise.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is the potential return of Rick Moranis from retirement. This news has fans buzzing, but it also raises the question of whether or not he can still deliver the same comedic genius that he did in the original film.

the choice of director, Josh Greenbaum, may seem questionable to some, his recent success with “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” gives us hope that he may be able to handle the task of helming a “Spaceballs” sequel. However, some may still have reservations about his previous work, which includes a mockumentary about Dana Carvey’s failed post-SNL career.

But beyond the behind-the-scenes talent, the real question is whether or not a sequel is even necessary. Hollywood has a tendency to rely on nostalgia and rehashing old ideas, rather than coming up with something truly original. And let’s not forget the disaster that was the “Spaceballs” animated series.

As fans, we can only hope that this potential sequel does justice to the original film’s legacy. We don’t want to see our childhood favorite ruined by cheap jokes and tired tropes. And let’s be real, sequels rarely live up to expectations, especially when it comes to beloved franchises like “Star Wars.”

So let’s proceed with caution, and may the Schwartz be with whoever dares to touch this sacred franchise again. I take this stuff seriously, as you can see here. Let’s hope they can deliver a fresh and entertaining critique without resorting to common tropes or foul language. Time will tell if Josh Gad and Spaceballs 2 will be a terror or a triumph.
