That's not an air shield. It's a planetary shield and those have been around since episode six. In fact, Aldernan had one and you can dimly see it in Episode 4 when the Deathstar blows it up.
It was also the reason the Empire had to perform a ground invasion of Hoth during Empire Strikes back. They mention that several times during the early scenes of Imperial Officers
It was Lucas' company that did some of the special effects and gave Mel Brooks his blessing for the picture. His only restriction was that Brooks could not create any merchandise that would compete with Star War merchandise. Hence the merchandising gag. It was an in-joke to Lucas. "We put the picture's name on EVERYTHING!" (But it cannot legally be sold to the public.)
If you know the ending of the original Planet of the Apes, there's a scene where the hero, played by Charlton Heston realises he's actually on Earth, because he sees the ruins of the Statue of Liberty. Mega Maid looks like her to recreate that scene and add another parody joke: Ape Man: (in English accent) Dearie me, what are those things coming out of her nose?" Other Ape Man:"Spaceballs!" "Oh shit! There goes the planet!"
Somehow, out of this entire (genius) scene, the "do something!" _"do something!"_ *"do something!"* bit cracks me up most. It perfectly captures the (non-)essence of middle management.
Mega Maid: For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet Druidia.... but now, you shall witness.... IT'S LOSS OF FRESH AIR!!! Vespa: NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TBH, I think it's more pathetic than tragic. Looked at from a story POV, he's dying an early death as a result of his own bad choices. He sacrifices literally everything for his daughter's well-being, having lived by no principles. It is a point every parent must face, and in my mind that shot in the movie is an amusing moment coating over a sorrowful meaning.
It upsets me that Mel Brooks made an agreement with George Lucas to never produce real merchandise for Space Balls, because I'd love to have a Spaceball-1/Mega Maid Transformer toy.
Just wonder if anybody noticed that the scene "don't have that damned thing on your face in front of me" was completely copied and transferred to "The Last Jedi" in the "Kylo Ren & Snoke" episode.
@@bakabaka98573 The place where we get the term "Kafka" or "Kafka-esque" is from the situation/plot/events of the book by Franz Kafka "Metamorphosis". It's kinda like how we refer to totalitarian/authoritarian regimes as Orwellian, because of his book 1984.
TheStarToursTraveler Kafka wrote a story called Metamorphosis where a man turns onto a cockroach. Spaceship turns into a maid and then Dark Helmut asks of Kafka got that.
@J D Only a mental child who is obsessed with politics as if it were a religion, would bring it up into the comments section of a comedy movie from 30 years ago. I'd say Dark Helmet would be smarter.
@J D You probably realize this, but I wasn't directing my comments towards you at anytime. Mel Brooks was definitely making fun of Star Wars, but there wasn't any person or political party he was making fun of in the movie. A political system sure. The person I was responding to, was bringing up an actual person of a political party, who came along 30 years after this movie was made. Gengar Guy was making this video political, when there was absolutely no reason to. Unfortunately, people on the left, have politics on the brain and have to insert it into EVERYTHING. You cannot hardly find a video with a million plus views, without some leftist making a political comment, regardless of what the video was about.

@@sad-kd2pd You are forgetting that Disney only bought Star Wars in 2012, so Mel Brooks had time to develop a sequel if he wanted to. 25 years, to be exact. On a more important note, while Spaceballs heavily alludes to Star Wars with its characters and setting, it's a parody of many things, including Star Trek, Alien, Planet of the Apes, etc. And nothing from Star Wars is referenced directly, anyway. They could make this movie today, without any issue, I believe.
