I grew up with both Star Wars and Space Balls... I enjoyed it alot... if you enjoyed Star Wars (and seen it first) and loved it.. but you can handle making fun of it harmlessly then this is a great movie to watch. Mel Brooks movies are known to have this parody style. While it's not for everyone.. I will suggest you give it a shot and you decide for yourself... if you seen Star Wars, Planet of the Apes (from the 80's), and other mild references you will enjoy and get the jokes easily (or if anything majority) and if you don't there's "mature humor" for the "immature adults" with the kind of mindset and humor at times XD... and this is coming from a '89 baby too and I'm glad i'm not the only millenial who was raised up with both movies as a child and enjoyed both equally... we just don't know who is team force or team schwartz XD
