    Another cool fact about Spaceballs is that while George Lucas gave his blessing to Mel Brooks, it was on condition that there would be no merchandising for it as Lucas was worried it would compete with sales of Star Wars merchandise and possibly devalue it.
    Brooks agreed, but added a scene in Spaceballs where Yogurt hawks merchandise.
