Spaceballs is a 1987 science fiction spoof movie written, directed by, and starring Mel Brooks.

The main villain, Dark Helmet is played by Rick Moranis. Just as the movie as a whole is largely a parody of Star Wars, Helmet is an obvious takeoff on Darth Vader, the immediate villain of that trilogy.

Dark Helmet looks more or less like Darth Vader, except that he is much shorter, his helmet is many times larger, he has short pants, and he wears a necktie. When his mask is down, Dark Helmet's breathing is overly audible and he speaks in a deep baritone voice (Vader was voiced by James Earl Jones), but when he lifts his mask he speaks in Rick Moranis' intentionally incredulous, shrill tone. He also wears glasses.

In the movie, Helmet is the commander of the armed forces of the Spaceballs, and commands its ridiculously enormous flagship Spaceball One.

He enjoys playing with Spaceballs action figurines, taking special pleasure in acting out scenarios in which he seduces Princess Vespa.
