But McBride revealed that they’ve established the movie’s place in the series and are definitely planning on some old-school horror.

The ‘Scary Movie’ Team Is Working on a ‘Star Wars’ Parody

Movie parodies are the kind of industry that’s always there, creeping under the surface of the Hollywood franchise machine, waiting to snap up a property ripe for lampooning. The duo behind all of the Scary Movies and Twilight parody Vampires Suck are launching themselves to a galaxy far, far away for Star Wars sendup Star Worlds Episode XXXIVE=MC2: The Force Awakens the Last Jedi Who Went Rogue.
