A long time ago on another forum far, far away, I had an idea that fell flat on it's face (with a comic "boing"): what if enough of the
Carry On team had lived long enough to do a
Star Wars spoof called........
CARRY ON FOLLOW THAT SPACESHIP
It started with me thinking about a space ship that takes the mickey out of the Millenium Falcon in Star Wars. Since the latter was allegedly based on the shape of a hamburger with a bite out of it, the "Eon Turkey" is based on the shape of a half-eaten hotdog. It consists of a B-29 fuselage, sandwiched between two halves of a pop bottle, suitably greeblified, with the back end cut away in an arc where the engines are.
Now that got me thinking about the rest of the movie, the casting, and parody (non-sueable by Lucasfilm) names for the characters:
Lou Starstrider, a lowly famboy and our hero: Jim Dale
Princess Looka: Barbara Windsor (hairdo like a cream bun..)
Henry "Hands" Ohsolo, a womanising smuggler: Sid James
Tubewhacker, a big hairy "Nookie" and Ohsolo's mechanic/co-pilot: Bernard Bresslaw
Grand Boff Parkin, an Imperial commander: Kenneth Williams
Barf Radar, a Judda knight gone bad: Windsor Davies ("I find you lack of faith disturbing, you 'orrible little man!")
Wobi An Tabbitt aka "Ben", a Judda knight in exile: Frankie Howerd ("I am Wobi An Tabbitt, but you can call me Ben", "Ben Tabbitt?", "What? Eh? Cheeky Devil!")
I8-2Q4AP, a protocol droid: Charles Hawtrey
T4-2, a maintenance droid: (special effects)
"Hands" Ohsolo's ship: the Eon Turkey
Imperial Tie fighters: shaped like bow ties
Rebel R-Wing fighters: "What are those over there?", "They're R-Wings", "What! Our wings should be on our ship!"
