Overview
When the nefarious Dark Helmet hatches a plan to snatch Princess Vespa and steal her planet's air, space-bum-for-hire Lone Starr and his clueless sidekick fly to the rescue. Along the way, they meet Yogurt, who puts Lone Starr wise to the power of "The Schwartz." Can he master it in time to save the day?
I think this is the perfect example of something that we remember over the years as being a classic, and then upon further re-examination, realize that it wasn’t nearly as good as we thought it was. There are a handful of classic lines, and after that, a lot of rather mundane comedy.
