I just keep seeing Rick Moranis reprising his role as Dark Helmet from Spaceballs.

But this time, he is Sauron, looking every bit a tall and menacing Dark Lord --
that is, until he reaches for a Palantir and it turns out he's 5 feet tall.

Good lord, this makes me think of part of a Star Wars parody I wrote for our SF club about 30 years ago. "Darth Mordor. One meter tall. Bipedal. Flowing black robes dragging on the floor...." How time flies...

I see it now...

The Mouth: "You're needed at the palantír, Your Dark Lordship."
Sauron (hastily covering what he was doing with cloak of darkness): "KNOCK ON MY DOOR! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO KNOCK ON MY DOOR!"
The Mouth: "Yes, Your Dark Lordship."
Sauron: "Did you see anything?"
The Mouth: "No, Your Dark Lordship, I didn't see you playing with your Galadriel puppet again."

And I see Madeline Kahn as Galadriel and Mel Brooks as Celeborn:

"May the Schwartz be with you."
