Planet Druidia consisted of the kingdom of King Roland, his daughter Princess Vespa being his heir. It was right next door to Planet Spaceball and had many natural resources, mainly a large supply of air, contained within an air shield with the combination 1-2-3-4-5. Druidian air was so fresh and abundant they have made a business of canning and exporting it to other planets under the brand Perri-Air.[1]
The Spaceballs, led by President Skroob and his right-hand Dark Helmet wished to suck the air out of Planet Druidia and use it to save Planet Spaceball (which would also destroy Druidia), but thanks to Lone Starr and the power of The Schwartz, they failed.[1]
Trivia[]
- Mel Brooks chose the name "Druidia" to set up a gag in which Lone Starr calls Vespa a "Druish Princess", a pun on "Jewish Princess."
- The castle on the planet Druidia is King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. It has been modified by matte painting with additional ramps. Neuschwanstein Castle has been featured in many motion pictures, and it is the original inspiration for all Disney theme park castles.
- Druidia is a parody of the planet Alderaan from Star Wars. Unlike Alderaan, Druidia is ultimately saved.
