6Bill Pullman

Lone Starr

Bill Pullman play the heroic Lone Starr , a character who parodiedStar warfare ' Luke Skywalker and Han Solo . Since 1987 , Pullman has appeared in a variety of films and goggle box series , with his most famous role beingPresident Thomas J. Whitmore inIndependence Day . As the protagonist ofSpaceballs , a sequel by nature ask to see Lone Starr return , or at the very least have him pass the torch to the next generation , perhaps to the graphic symbol Gad will be playing .

With Lone Starr being a pasquinade of Luke and Han , Spaceballs 2can habituate his persona to smartly burlesque the highly divisive response to how these fabled characters were handled in theStar Warssequel trilogy film . Spaceballs 2may even take a page out ofThe Force Awakens ' Luke story and not have him come along until the very ending of the pic , which could bea way to work Pullman back without needing him to play one of the master function , although it would be preferable to give the actor a more substantial part . Any way that Pullman returns will feel somewhat dissatisfactory without him being able to reunite with Candy , though .

5Daphne Zuniga

Princess Vespa

Princess Leia , whom Daphne Zuniga ’s Princess Vespa parody , has become even more of an icon than she was in 1987 . This is due to many factors , including the evolving depiction of female submarine sandwich in the media , along with the optic - open candidness of Leia doer Carrie Fisher . With this in mind , it would be intriguing to see how a modern - sidereal day portraiture of Princess Vespa would modify .

Fisher ’s discriminating wit and the combination of humor and heart she brought to Leia inThe Force AwakensandThe Last Jedicould be tastefully honored withSpaceballs 2 ’s take on Princess Vespa . Zuniga has performed in legion project sinceSpaceballs , with her latest appearance being in the reality seriesThe Masked Singer . Unfortunately , Princess Vespa ca n’t reunify with Candy ’s Barf or Dot Matrix , voiced by Rivers , but Zuniga and Pullman returningcould surrender a Princess Vespa and Lone Starr reunification .

4Rick Moranis

Dark Helmet

With his hilarious and memorable carrying into action as Lord Dark Helmet inSpaceballs , aRick Moranis return feels important forSpaceballs 2 . The primary issue with this is thatMoranis has retired from acting . His last live - action role was in 1997’sHoney , We Shrunk Ourselves , and he has not done voicework for a motion picture since 2006’sBrother Bear 2 . He did not return for any of the late continuation revivingGhostbusters , another science - fiction comedy in which he had a memorable role .

A subsequence without Moranis as Dark Helmet will likely be ineffective to recapture the comedic pinnacle of its predecessor . Some of that sense of humour was ground in thejuxtaposition between the foul up Dark Helmet and the stoical , unnerving villain he was parodying , Darth Vader . In many ways , Dark Helmet could forge just as well as a spoof of Kylo Ren , with both fibre prone to excited outburst and seriously overcompensating due to their insecurity .

3Mel Brooks

President Skroob & Yogurt

Since Brooks is sustain to be a producer onSpaceballs 2,his return may be the most viable out of the full cast . With President Skroob parody Emperor Palpatine and Yogurt parody Yoda , there is ample chronicle material released since 1987 that can be parodied , let in theStar Warsprequel and sequel trilogy . Considering thatThe Mandalorian ’s Grogu , a vernal member of Yoda ’s species , has become a popular cultural phenomenon , perhaps a younger Yogurt could be introduced inSpaceballs 2 .

Yogurt famously state inSpaceballs,“God willing , we ’ll all meet again in Spaceballs 2 : The hunt for More Money . “ASpaceballs 2can’t hap without this parentage being at least being acknowledged , and there ’s no one substantially to acknowledge it than Yogurt himself . reach his involvement , Brooks could appear or just have a small cameo as a new fibre as well , but featuring him without the retort of President Skroob or Yogurt would be a escape chance .

2Michael Winslow

Radar Technician

Despite playing an unnamed radar technician , Michael Winslow present one ofSpaceball ’s best quoteswith the line,“I’ve lose the bleeps , I ’ve lost the sweep , and I ’ve recede the creeps"as he reenacts the various sound that the ship ’s radar is making . Winslow make what could have been a forgettable role in a abbreviated shot and turn it into one of the movie ’s funniest and most repeatable parts . This is largely due tohis distinctive representative and impeccable comedic timing .

SinceSpaceballs , Winslow has played the role of Sergeant Larvell Jones in variousPolice Academysequels , a spinoff series , and inRobot Chicken . He ’s done a range of other projects as well , graze fromSharknado 3 : Oh Hell No!to competing in the realness seriesAmerica ’s Got Talent . Winslow has n’t lost his comedic hint , which , along with hisSpaceballslegacy , make hima raw fit to return in the subsequence .

1George Wyner

Colonel Sandurz

Much of Dark Helmet ’s comedy stem from the nonsensical commands he gives to Colonel Sandurz . If Moranis return to play Dark Helmet , it would only finger double-dyed if George Wyner give to play Colonel Sandurz , repair the dynamic of the incompetent nefarious duo . Wyner is still actively involved in the amusement diligence , appearing in late years in telly series such asStation 19,A Million Little Things , Grace and Frankie , andThe Umbrella Academy .

His late roles increase the likeliness of him reprising the role of Colonel Sandurz . While the part was meant to burlesque Grand Moff Tarkin inSpaceballs , Star Warsnow has a moreextensive range of prominent Imperial functionary that Sandurz can parody , includingRogue One ’s Orson Krennic , the continuation trilogy ’s General Armitage Hux and Allegiant General Enric Pryde , along withAndor ’s ISB agentive role Dedra Meero and Major Partagaz . Sandurz was the commander ofSpaceball OneinSpaceballs , and , inSpaceballs 2 , he can be the air force officer ofSpaceball Two .
