It’s one of THE funniest characters is the history of any movie. Everything to do with Dark Helmet is absolutely hilarious.
Fun fact: Lucas allowed Brooks to parody Star Wars providing there would be no merch sold in stores. So, all the toys you see in the movie are what WOULD have existed if they had permission.
No John Candy as Barf. That's a huge hole to fill. I trust that Mel Brooks will find a way to do it with grace & class that'll honor Candy's memory while still extremely funny.
There was one other stipulation Lucas made— Lone Star couldn’t dress like Han Solo. So they put him in the Indiana Jones outfit instead. Hilarious.
Dark Helmet confirmed. https://epicstream.com/article/rick...k2n3M5bKTTHhnGD5QZ_aem_701XZ5VjCRh_1Tv-aUogPg
Now THAT is what I’m fucking talking about. The return of real comedy. “Twenty Years for man’s laughter”.
Seriously - why can't we have more of these? It doesn't even need to be raunchy. Just give me something funny. That's it.
