Spaceballs Dvd promo picture help?

For the release of the SE of Spaceballs on dvd I saw a promo picture in a magazine recently. I think it was Entertainment Weekly but not positive. It is a spoof of the Episode I photo with anakin in the desert casting vaders shadow. This one has Dark Helmet (the name still makes me laugh) and the shadow holding up two fingers behing his head or something similar. Anyone seen this online? I tried google but came up with nothing with my search terms.

If this is the wrong forum please move. I wasnt sure where it should go.

Thanks

No I haven't seen that one. I have seen one that shows the main characters headshots in a similar fashion to the Star Wars movies, but not the parody version of which you speak.

I've seen the shot you're referring to, and I'm pretty sure it was in Entertainment Weekly. Specifically it was an ad announcing the release.

Heheh, I love how the people at Sequential Pictures are talking like the Spaceballs people copied their idea. I mean, it could totally be a coincidence. In the link to that forum with the pics, this guy is even suggesting that Sequential Pictures sue! Heheh...people are silly.

By the way, just so you know which Entertainment Weekly that it's in...it's the Summer Movie Preview Double issue. The dates on it say something like April 26 & May 5th.

Cameron, any idea where you saw the SWE3 teaser poster parody?
