If you’re a fan ofStar Warsthen you’re probably also a fan of theMel BrooksparodySpaceballs. And if you’re any sort of Star Wars fan then you’ve surely drooled overOlly Moss' awesome original trilogy poster set. Well Nakatomi Inc has teamed with artistJoshua Budich, whowe’ve featured many times on /Film over the years, to create a parody of those wonderful posters using theSpaceballsuniverse. How funny is that? A series of Spaceballs posters which are a parody of a well known and respected set of Star Wars prints.

All three posters will be available individually and as matched number 3-print sets (meaning the lower numbers will be held for the print sets, and those will have matching numbers).

They are also selling a SUPER LIMITED irridescent FOIL set which will be hard to get, limited to just 30 full sets. those full sets will sell for $200 each. Here is a look at a mockup of what the foil variants will look like:
They will be printing these poster sets this week, and all orders will ship and be out the door by the end of the month (which means they could be a slightly late Christmas present for a lucky someone).
Here for comparison is the originalOlly Moss Star Wars trilogy print setreleased by Mondo years ago:
My friend Germain Lussier atIO9was able to get Olly Moss' comments about the Spacebar parody set. Here is an excerpt:
“As an artist, you make your work and you push it out into the ether. People are free to react to it however they want. Whether that means they buy a print from you, or print it out themselves, or even adapt it into their own work,. [Parody] is not a price you pay. It’s a reward you’ve earned. You were lucky enough to make something with which people connected, and it got a reaction. You can’t police what that reaction is.”…“But do I like these Budich posters? No, not particularly. When I look at them, I only see all the things I dislike about my originals. The things that I would go back and do differently (my sympathies for Mr. Lucas, here). But they’re parody posters for a parody movie. It’s a strong concept.”
