  • sbcea, on 12/23/2008, -1/+28Next Up: "Empire on Ice" ... oh wait .. Robot Chicken did that already.
  • michaelpinto, on 12/23/2008, -5/+32d2002 how dare you say that in public! I'm ashamed of you! (but since you're already going to be standing on line for hours to get tickets can do a favor for a certain "friend" of mine?)
  • Hodor, on 12/23/2008, -1/+24this reminds me of the planet of the apes musical that was on the simpsons episode.. it could be epic.
  • UnFriendlyFire, on 12/23/2008, -0/+19Simpsons did it.

    "Luke be a jedi tonight..."
  • bdubatdi, on 12/23/2008, -0/+18the real question is how many more fans does george lucas want to disappoint
  • serif69, on 12/23/2008, -1/+18 Moichandising! Moichandising! Moichandising! Where the real money from the movie is made! Spaceballs: the T-shirt, Spaceballs: the Coloring Book, Spaceballs: the Lunchbox, Spaceballs: the Breakfast Cereal. Spaceballs: the Flame Thrower… The kids love this one. And last, but not least, Spaceballs: the Doll, me.
  • angusm, on 12/23/2008, -0/+14I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly drowned out by a choir of tap-dancing Ewoks and a Wookie with a tuba.
  • hydroplane, on 12/23/2008, -0/+13NOooooooooo!!!
  • Haoie, on 12/23/2008, -0/+12What's next, "use the forks"?
  • avianeddy, on 02/17/2009, -2/+14Who's gonna see it?
    EVERYONE THAT CAN

    Who will admit to it?
    NO ONE


    Face it, Lucas has us.
  • bamafun, on 12/23/2008, -4/+16maybe its about his legacy and not just money =)
  • frequentFlyer, on 12/23/2008, -2/+13Gay Star Wars fans?

    ...just sayin'.
  • vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -0/+11Needless to say, I know plenty of fanatics that would no doubt make sure to see this.
  • BillyB, on 12/23/2008, -0/+10Not interested in this in any way at all. What's next? Star Wars porcelain dolls?
  • DickyT83, on 12/23/2008, -0/+9*gasp* he can talk....he can talk, he can talk, he can talk....I CAN SING!!
  • cyclades, on 12/23/2008, -0/+9Star Warrrrrs... Nothing but Star Wars!
  • cubicledrone, on 12/23/2008, -0/+9Nearly everyone stopped taking Star Wars seriously about two years after Jedi. Everyone else stopped taking it seriously after Jar Jar stepped in ***** in Episode I. Poetic, really.

    Then again, Star Wars didn't really begin its climb to greatness until Bea Arthur got involved.
  • hockeyisgd, on 12/23/2008, -0/+9Now including a solo by Chewbacca entitled: "The Greatest Life Day of All"
  • AdeleMor, on 12/23/2008, -0/+8i am cringing at the song they will make for 3324 Outer Kerner Way, Mos Eisley, Tatooine.
  • Optiks, on 12/23/2008, -2/+10I'd pay money so I could line up and throw rotten vegetables at you standing in line to go see this.
  • inactive, on 12/23/2008, -0/+7I have a bad feeling about this.
  • jrancer, on 12/23/2008, -0/+7Luke be a jedi tonight!
    Just be a jedi tonight!
    Do it for Yoda, while we serve our guests a soda.
    Uh, and do it for Chewie and the Ewoks, and all the other puppets ...
    Luke, be a Jedi tonight!
  • seattlegirluw, on 12/23/2008, -0/+6this will only be cool if, like in Family Guy, the orchetral section is charred along with luke's aunt and uncle
  • Changa, on 12/23/2008, -0/+6Ooh, help me Dr. Zaius!
  • machutta, on 12/23/2008, -0/+6I have a dollar...
  • nmanguy, on 12/23/2008, -0/+6Seth Green totally called this a year and a half ago.
  • inactive, on 12/23/2008, -0/+6Oh my God, I was wrong. It was Earth all along!
  • Sornos, on 12/23/2008, -0/+6http://i40.tinypic.com/wrkux3.gif
  • raublekick, on 12/23/2008, -0/+6I hate every Wookie I see... from Chewbacc-A to Chewbacc-Z...
  • inactive, on 12/23/2008, -0/+5a legacy of cashing in.
  • casenumber17421, on 12/23/2008, -0/+5http://abstrusegoose.com/92
  • AmyVernon, on 12/23/2008, -0/+5Very easily.
  • kovac9478, on 12/23/2008, -0/+4I find your lack of faith disturbing.
  • xan18, on 12/24/2008, -0/+3cus we got DEATH STAR!
  • exscind, on 12/23/2008, -0/+3I'm the wampa, I'm the snowman,
    And I don't taaaaaaaaaaaake any lip from no man.
  • Hetman, on 12/23/2008, -3/+6As long as it is not wrote by George Lucas I would be happy with it. After seeing wicked I think everything should have a play form also.
  • zubi, on 12/23/2008, -0/+3Next you'll be telling me that Captain Kirk recites poems in smokey piano bars...
  • umbriago, on 12/23/2008, -0/+3Nonsense.

    Star Wars fans have earned, and some might say, deserve this.
  • noupsell, on 12/23/2008, -0/+3isn't that referred to as a 'chorus line'?

    I would think it could potentially be very cool if done in the vein of a Terminator 3D aka Universal studios blending life action with cgi and cool fx - kinda borderline a Vegas show with holograms, etc... could be very very entertaining
  • sinurgy, on 12/24/2008, -0/+3...from chimpanA to chimpanZ...
  • DaigojiGai, on 12/23/2008, -2/+5/seconds the sentiment above!
  • bagboyrebel, on 12/24/2008, -0/+3I'd go. This sounds like an awesome idea.
  • YinofYang, on 12/23/2008, -0/+2Hahaha...oh, I can't stop laughing...

    I would see it, if only for Stormtroopers kicking their legs to and fro...
  • Mujokan, on 12/25/2008, -0/+2Hard work and stick-to-it-iveness.
  • Rudegar, on 12/23/2008, -0/+2how does one go about singing in a darth vader voice ?
  • SierraEcho, on 12/23/2008, -0/+2Dugg for the wookie with a tuba!
  • Oldsmobile, on 12/23/2008, -0/+2I sure as hell would go see this! I do agree that the Star Wars franchise has been milked to death, but this for once is an offshoot I wholly endorse!
