Who cares about the script. What matters is merchandising. It was so under Lucas and triply so under Darth Mouse.
Spaceballs the flame thrower. The kids love this one.

“One of the best parts of John Williams composing the Star Wars music was how he integrated it perfectly with the Fox Fanfare in the beginning of the six Star Wars movies that have been released. Too bad it won’t happen with this one since Disney owns the franchise now.”
True! And there’s a neat story to that:
“For generations of kids, that fanfare would not mean Twentieth Century Fox so much as it would mean Star Wars. The part of the fanfare that was extended in the 50s is the bit that plays over the Lucasfilm logo; many viewers wrongly assume it to be some kind of separate Lucasfilm fanfare. Indeed, while not technically part of the film, the fanfare has become so widely associated with the following two hours of entertainment that it was re-recorded by John Williams in 1980 and placed at the beginning of every Star Wars soundtrack album.” (Chris Taylor, How Star Wars Conquered the Universe: the Past, Present, and Future of a Multibillion-Dollar Franchise, (2014), page 165-166).

Sulu and shore leave. Don’t wanna know.
The score will sound like Abba’s “Dancing Queen”
Yeah baby!!! Go Go boots and mini dresses! And Eastern Airlines advertising “Fly Me” with a sexy stewardess. America started going downhill when they started allowing guys to be stewardesses, flight attendants, what have you
They did that already....with a gay alien Jarjar Binks.
C3PO was the first Star Wars space fag. Although some would consider him a robosexual.
I’m an organic intelligence chauvinist. Robots don’t count. Floppy eared Jamaican accent aliens, do.
Huh?
Huh?
What does the ABBA song have to do with this?
