Yes, of course, so yet another reference.

Uh...yes it did? The evil Space Balls Empire pursues and ultimately kidnaps the runaway princess of the Planet Druidia to force her father to surrender Duridia's air to their own, air-insufficient planet. Said princess is aided by a space trucker and his mog who were hired by her father to bring her back to the planet. While stranded on a desert planet the trucker and the princess fall in love and the trucker is inducted in the mystical ways of the Schwartz by the wise Yoghurt. The Space Balls take them all prisoner which leads to a sequence of jail breaks and infiltrations that culminate in a show-down aboard the Mega Maid above the skies of Druidia. The princess and planet are saved, the Space Balls are defeated, and the space trucker, who's really a space prince and the princess get to marry.

The plot gets disguised a bit by the sheer volume of jokes. The same thing happens with Airplane!, which surprised me when I watched Zero Hour! (which Airplane! is a nearly shot-for-shot remake of), and found Airplane! is actually better narratively; combining the main character's ex and the lead stewardess gives her more to do in the movie, and shifting their kid to be a background character who's part of another family helps keep the character focus on their relationship without the "Should we stay together for our child?" aspect complicating it.

The big question is, will we see Baby Yogurt?!

 

[tharpdevenport]

And his sister, Yoplate. (changed spelling, like Yogurt)

 

[Samurai8472]

Yogurt- I trained someone like you Lone Starr. His name was Cho Bani-Wan

 

[Toril Toran]

Maybe they could do a plot about their daughter being kidnapped just before her bat-mitzvah.
