Lewis Pullman…Spaceballs 2…Is a Multiverse Spoof Incoming?
The rumor mills are humming harder than MegaMaid’s vacuum that Lewis Pullman, son of the original Lone Starr himself, Bill Pullman, is in talks to join the long-anticipated Spaceballs 2. And if this pans out, the Schwartz may be getting a little…twistier.
The idea of bringing Lewis into the mix is already a meta masterstroke—Hollywood loves dynasties, and spoofing itself is practically Spaceballs’ love language. But here’s where things go ludicrous: what if he’s not just playing a new character…what if he’s playing a younger Lone Starr?
Or even better—what if he’s from a different universe entirely?
Welcome to the Schwartz Multiverse. Let’s indulge in some Ludicrous Speculation (our favorite pastime around here).
The Pullman Paradox: Same Starr, Different Timeline?
If Lewis Pullman joins the cast, we’ve got two juicy, Schwartz-swirling possibilities:
Lewis plays a younger version of Lone Starr in some retroactive, time-looping origin story — potentially sent back in time to prevent something like, oh, we don’t know, Dark Helmet cloning himself with a ridiculous French accent.
Lewis is from a parallel parody universe — a lone Lone Starr from another timeline where Yogurt is voiced by Danny DeVito, MegaMaid was a Dyson, and Barf is a…cat? In this timeline, Lewis’s Lone Starr is tasked with teaming up with the original Lone Starr (yes, Bill Pullman is returning) to stop a multiversal corporate merger between Planet Spaceball and Amazon Primal Galactic.
If this sounds like it’s spoofing everything from Star Wars’ Force dyads to the MCU’s Kang-stravaganza, that’s because it absolutely could be — and that would be glorious. Spaceballs has always thrived on parodying pop culture in absurd, off-the-wall ways. What’s more modern than too many timelines, duplicate heroes, and multiverse mayhem?
The Lone Starr Legacy Lives On
Let’s not ignore the symbolism here. Having Lewis Pullman step into the Spaceballs Universe is like handing him a sacred relic — a Schwartz ring, if you will. It’s both a callback and a handoff. And let’s be honest, it would be hilariously on-brand for the sequel to poke fun at Hollywood’s obsession with legacy casting, nepo babies, and awkward torch-pass scenes.
Just imagine Yogurt 2.0 (still Mel Brooks!) trying to train both Pullmans, shouting things like:
“Use the Schwartz responsibly! This is why we can’t have nice timelines!”
Tie-ins, Crossovers & Spoofing Possibilities
If you read our recent “Could the Spaceballs Universe Collide with Other Parody Worlds?” article, you’ll remember we teased the idea of a parody multiverse — Frankenstein, Robin Hood, the Roman Empire, and space rogue timelines all colliding. Lewis Pullman’s rumored casting could be the catalyst. This might be the moment Spaceballs 2 unleashes a parody timeline so chaotic it even retcons Pizza the Hutt’s digestion.
Also, with our fan-favorite theory from “Is Lone Starr Royalty?” still buzzing in the comments, maybe this version of Lone Starr is from the branch of royal family that didn’t sell out to Yogurt’s Merchandising Empire™. He’s the rebel cousin, fighting for Schwartz purity over plastic branding.
The possibilities are endless and incredibly fun to try to predict:
- Could Dark Helmet have fallen into another universe and trained the new Lone Starr?
- Yogurts from 3 different universes fighting over merchandising rights.
- Role reversal – is Dark Helmet the good guy trying to defeat a lonely Lone Starr that fell to the Dark Schwartz?
- Will Lone Starr’s son be caring for Baby Yogurt?
Why This Could Break the Internet
If this rumor proves true, we’re looking at a cross-generational comeback — a Mel Brooks meta-comedy that honors its roots while totally nuking the trope-filled playbook. It’s got everything: time travel, multiverses, legacy casting, and — we hope — a deeply awkward father-son Schwartz-bonding montage.
