Mel Brooks‘s rather laboured Star Wars parody from 1987, in which Darth Vader becomes Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis), the Force becomes The Schwartz, and Luke Skywalker becomes slobby Lone Star (Bill Pullman), who’s accompanied by his trusty hound Barf (John Candy). Who’d have guessed the same bloke gave us the magnificent Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles?
It’s back on screen in the Everyman’s Saturday late night classics season.
