- According to Gad, the 'Spaceballs 2' script is already finished and has blown away everyone who's read it, with Mel Brooks himself 'electrified' by the project he's producing.
- Despite the passing of John Candy, who played Barf in the original, Gad says the sequel doesn't necessarily need returning characters, as the 'Star Wars' franchise has shown it can thrive with new protagonists.
