Hey who said that the U.S. was the only country that could parody Star Wars? It seems that Sweden has come up with their own answer to Spaceballs, and it's only 20 years too late! Carl Åstrand and Mats Lindberg created the TV series Kenny Starfighter back in the late '90s, about a dim-witted hero who drives a space-bus and fights the evil Dr. Deo. Now the character comes to the big screen with one of the most expensive Swedish productions ever: Kenny Begins! Okay, okay, I know it's more than just a straight up Star Wars parody, and it does actually look like fun. The trailer doesn't have English subtitles unfortunately, but you can certainly get a sense of the look and feel of the film. It hits theatres this week in Sweden, but I have no idea if this will ever find its way to North America.
