Perhaps it’s because we are all awaiting Spaceballs 2, truly arriving in 2027 with even Rick Moranis, but public opinion could not remain unmoved by Donald Trump’s unveiling of a possible look for the American Space Force, shared on social media. Its resemblance to family members separated from the sci-fi world, from the Empire of Star Wars to the style of Colonel Nunziatella, is perhaps accidental, but perhaps not: the design was created with generative artificial intelligence, which we can imagine drawing on milestones such as Spaceballs or Star Wars. Why shouldn’t it? Not even an aficionado of imaginary space like William Shatner could resist and mocked the President…
Anyone see the Spaceballs 2 promo that the US Government is promoting? I’m telling you; that @MelBrooks is well connected & knows his marketing! 😉😝🤣 pic.twitter.com/WUDjfdHGcY

Donald Trump lancia look minacciosi per la Space Force americana, ma canalizza Balle Spaziali
“Qualcuno ha visto quel promo di Balle Spaziali 2 del governo americano? Io ve lo dico, quel Mel Brooks deve avere agganci potenti, e chissà il suo ufficio marketing!” The author of these words on X is not an expert in Star Wars, the main target of the parody of Spaceballs, but he shows a certain familiarity with sci-fi fiction, given that it is William Shatner, the unforgettable Captain Kirk of Star Trek. The fact remains that Shatner is certainly not the first to hurl ridicule at the grim and menacing design of the uniforms proposed by Trump for the United States Space Force. After all, it’s hard not to recall the heroic Colonel Nunziatella (George Wyner), but also the uniforms of the Empire imagined by George Lucas. In recent weeks this social reveal of the President of the United States hasn’t even been the oddest: in a video also produced via AI, a few days ago it showed DC’s Green Lantern, intent on blocking people who want to enter America with superpowers, while with the same powers it restarts the American manufacturing industry and deploys formidable military assets. In July he had compared himself to Superman. Apparently, now that his friends Ellison of Paramount Skydance are about to acquire Warner Bros, including DC, he does not fear someone pointing out copyright infringement.
