How the Spaceballs 2 Synopsis Poked Fun at the Star Wars Disney Era
Amazon MGM Studios recently released the official synopsis for the Spaceballs sequel titled Spaceballs: The New One, ahead of its theatrical release early next year.

Fans immediately noticed that the synopsis relentlessly threw shade at the Star Wars sequel trilogy under Disney, the return of Emperor Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker, and the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu through the " Schwartz stretched thinner than a franchise releasing TV episodes theatrically" line.
While there is no footage about the movie, this is already giving them an idea of how the sequel will poke fun at the current state of the Star Wars franchise, and based on the synopsis, it seems that they will even reference the Disney+ projects and, in the case of The Mandalorian and Grogu, its jump to the big screen.
So far, there are no details yet on when the first teaser trailer for Spaceballs: The New One will be released.
