Spaceballs Wars



Spaceballs Wars is a series of three fan films directed, produced, and written by Clone Trooper 1000. The first film: Spaceballs Wars Episode I: The Family Guy Menace is set to be released in 2011. The films are comedic in nature, though not at the levels of films of Darthipedia. The series serves as an unofficial prequel of the Spaceballs film, and also ties in with Family Guy's and Robot Chicken's Star Wars franchises. The entire six films will be made on Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 with the assistance of Paint and TwistedBrush Open Studio. Once completed, each episode will be made viewable to all users for no charge.

Production began shortly after the release of Family Guy's It's A Trap, which completes the Family Guy Trilogy. The films are presented in a comic book-style format, for lack of voice actors, although voice acting is under consideration for episodes II and III.

The events of the series take place at the same time as the Star Wars film series in a parallel universe. Many of the original Star Wars characters appear, but are "portrayed" by other popular personalities, such as Han Solo being "played" by Peter Griffin from Family Guy. As well, characters who parody others do not overlap, such as Darth Vader and Dark Helmet, who coexist in the same film.

Behind the scenes
Clone Trooper 1000 was inspired to make the trilogy after realizing that most Star Wars parodies only parodied the Original Trilogy, as opposed to the prequel trilogy.

PowerPoint is used in the first film, but more advanced technology is being considered for episodes II and III with the help of other users.
