10The Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Lightspeeding Through the Sequel Trilogy
The most obvious satiric prey forSpaceballs 2would be theStar Warssequel trilogy . Spaceballs 2is a long - wait legacy sequel get decades after the original , and that ’s on the dot what theStar Warssequel trilogy was . They could even call the sequelThe Schwartz Awakens . TheStar Warssequels revolve around an old Luke , an older Han , and an old Leia as they depend with history repeating itself and a young empire go up up – there ’s plenty of comedic potential in spoofing that rehashed storyline .
The bigger Death Star ofThe Force Awakensis much a ego - parody .
There are muckle of thing in theStar Warssequel trilogy to make playfulness of . The bigger Death Star ofThe Force Awakensis practically a self - parody . From Maz Kanata ’s broken hope about “ another time ” to Rey every which way hijacking the Skywalker name , there are a short ton of potential muzzle intheStar Warssequels ’ bad here and now .

9Avatar
Parodying Pandora’s Problems
The cock-a-hoop sci - fi franchise to come along sinceSpaceballslampooned the originalStar Warstrilogy is James Cameron’sAvatarsaga . Cameron has only made twoAvatarmovies so far , but they both place among the highest - grossing movie ever made , and despite what the cynics say , they ’ve had a vast cultural impact . The underlie premise of homo transferring their cognizance into exotic body is ripe for parody . It could be used to satirise self - double or only for some silly slapstick gags .
As not bad asAvataris , it open itself up to takeoff . The on - the - nozzle environmentalist messaging of theAvatarmovies could be satirized in a great running gag inSpaceballs 2 . The annoying kid with the dreadlocks inAvatar : The Way of Watercould be parody with a similarly impossible fend for reference in theSpaceballssequel .

8Moonfall
Moondust and Mayhem on a Cracked Moon
One of the most ridiculous sci - fi movies in recent yr is Roland Emmerich’sMoonfall . The disaster picture show master behind the alien invasion ofIndependence Dayand the Mayan prophecy blossom out in2012took a sappy conspiracy hypothesis a little too seriously inMoonfall . The movie presuppose that the Moon is an artificial megastructure . When it ’s bump out of its range , the Moon starts crashing down to Earth .
Moonfallis exactly as ludicrous as it voice , and it ’s arrant for a parody because it ’s almost a parody of itself . The transformation of Spaceball I into the Mega - Maid – a elephantine robotic maid with a void cleaner – is easier to take seriously than the premiss ofMoonfall . A moon falling out of ambit into a satellite is just dazed enough to work on as the main battle of aSpaceballssequel .
7Nope
Taking a Jab at Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
Jordan Peele put his own unique stamp on the science fiction genre with his smash hit epicNope . Noperevolves around a floating alien entity nicknamed “ Jean Jacket ” that hides behind clouds and sucks spectators up into its voracious black hollow . Although it plays as a straightforward sci - fi thriller , on paper , it almost sounds like it could be a drollery .
While the dreamlike ingredient ofNopework well enough within the context of the moving-picture show itself , some of those element could be occupy out of context to work as joke inSpaceballs 2.For starter , a terrific foreign killer with the name “ Jean Jacket ” sounds inherently absurd . The opinion of this terrific alien killer hiding behind a cloud to fend off detection sounds inherently absurd . There ’s a slew of comedy gold hide behind Peele ’s breathtaking cinematic visual modality inNope .
6Rebel Moon
Spoofing a Rebel Uprising in Space
Zack Snyder ’s two - part sci - fi epicRebel Moonis crying out for a lampoon . The first part plays like an elongate montage of the hoagy putting together a band of gunslingers to protect a wheat planet from the malign force of the Imperium . All of these gunslingers are interchangeable , with a badass attitude , a nerveless signature weapon system , and a hokey tragic backstory . There ’s nothing that distinguishes them from one another , andSpaceballs 2could get a great gag out of that .
The one - note characterization , overuse of slow - motion , and clamorous plagiarism of sci - fi masterworks makeRebel Moonripe for lampoon .
The second part ofRebel Moonis a bit more tolerable , since it dives into the high - octane engagement sequences promised by the first part , but it ’s still impossible to deal about these characters . The one - note characterisation , overutilisation of slow - motion , and strident plagiarization of sci - fi masterworks makeRebel Moonripe for parody . Maybe some dependable can amount of Snyder ’s sci - fi slog after all .

The theater director ’s cuts of Zack Snyder ’s Rebel Moon films are n’t just get a fancy fresh R - rating ; they ’ve been given fancy new titles , too .
5Spaceman
Lost in a Derelict Spaceship
to begin with this year , Netflix released a sci - fi drama that ab initio play likeMoonorSilent Running , with Adam Sandler bring a lonely astronaut grappling with his troubled marriage while stray through the isolation of blank . ButSpacemantakes a truly bizarre twist when Sandler ’s astronaut is greeted by a giant telepathic spider that somehow made its way onto his ship . As the movie break on , this spider basically becomes Sandler ’s therapist , helping him work through his emotional issues .
MaybeSpaceballs 2can feature a giant wanderer as Princess Vespa ’s therapist . Or it could have Lone Starr and Barf meet a giant spider while soar through place in Eagle 5 , and the wanderer essay to prise into their feelings . There ’s a lot of electric potential for a spoof place out the absurdity ofSpaceman ’s spider therapy premise .
4Everything Everywhere All At Once
Everything, Everywhere, All Hilarious
It ’s rare that the Academy recognise sci - fi movies , butEverything Everywhere All at Onceswept the Oscarsin 2023.The Michelle Yeoh - starring multiversal epic has become a staple of papa culture – especially with its oft - quoted “ laundry and taxes ” argumentation – and , as such , would be a great satiric objective forSpaceballs 2to take aim at . The movie employ an activity - packed adventure across the multiverse to research a financially precarious kin on an intimate personal level .
The ace ofEverything Everywhere All at Onceis that it use laughable visuals like a raccoon - centric mockery ofRatatouilleand a existence where people have red-hot wiener for finger to serve a poignant human account . It ’s all about a female parent and daughter scramble to get in touch with each other . It would be easy to integrate some of those sillier concepts , use up out of context , into a parody .
3Interstellar
Interstellar Travel Gets a Mel Brooks Makeover
Christopher Nolan has made a few sci - fi movie that would make a great pasquinade . The dream - within - a - dream nonsense ofInceptionwas brilliantly satirize inSouth Park , and the sentence - traveling bullet ofTenetwould plausibly be better - suited to an absurdist comedy than a straightforward undercover agent - fi thriller . But the Nolan movie that ’s most good for parody isInterstellar , because it ’s Nolan ’s most sincere motion picture and bilk the dividing line into saccharin a few time too many .
Anne Hathaway has an ofttimes - mocked monologue about how honey is the only thing that ca n’t be quantified by scientific theory .
There are plenty of moments inInterstellarthat are easy to make playfulness of . Anne Hathaway has an oft - mocked monologue about how love is the only matter that ca n’t be measure by scientific hypothesis . Matthew McConaughey goes through a smutty hole and ends up going back in time to intrude books out of his daughter ’s bookcase . Interstellarcould form the base for a hilariousSpaceballssequel .

2The Matrix Resurrections
Resurrecting The Matrix with Laughter
If theSpaceballssequel is going to get meta about being a sequel , then it could look toThe Matrix Resurrectionsfor inspiration . The fourthMatrixmovie open up with the shameful revelation that the entire original trilogy never actually happened . It was just a television biz plan by Thomas Anderson . The motion-picture show finally reveals that Anderson is back in the Matrix and the original trilogy did really hap , but it sticks with its initial self-love for a while .
Anderson is told that Warner Bros.wants to make a sequel toThe Matrixtrilogy with or without him . He reluctantly steps into the writers ’ elbow room to figure out what a fourthMatrixstory could peradventure be . The audacity of this ego - awareness could be used as a point of departure to lampoon the franchise poser even further in theSpaceballssequel .
It ’s been nearly two years since The Matrix Resurrections torpedoed the franchise ’s canon , and the most glaring flaws stand out on a rewatch .
1Dune
Spicing Up the Sands of Arrakis
One of the biggest influence on theStar Warssaga was Frank Herbert’sDune , and now , thanks to Denis Villeneuve , Dunehas become a widely celebrated film enfranchisement of its own . Villeneuve ’s mind - blowing two - part adaptation has not only brought Herbert ’s vision to the CRT screen , but convey this eldritch sci - fi fable into the mainstream . The might struggles on Arrakis would organize the basis for a smashing spoof storyline inSpaceballs 2 .
The characters all fatigue suits that convert their bodily fluid into drink water .
There are a gang of conception inDunethat would serveSpaceballs 2with quick - made jest . The case all wear down suits that convert their bodily fluid into drinking water . They chasten gigantic sandworms and ride them into battle . There are space witch who spread lies across the coltsfoot and the desert are filled with psychedelic drugs – at one point , Paul accidentally trips on spice . Spaceballs 2could just be a full - blownDuneparody .
