Spaceballs: The New One mocks Disney's Star Wars in its official synopsis

Every announcement so far has been a joke in itself: the cast photo spoofed "The Force Awakens" reveal, and Brooks recorded a video declaring he'd already found the money — a nod to the original's famously unmade sequel "Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money."
