Kanye West -- SPACEBALLIN'

Kanye West went full "Spaceballs" in Paris today ... sporting an outfit that was an obvious homage to the evil and maniacal Dark Helmet.

Let's face it ... the villain (we mean DH) has a lot in common with the rapper.

Mr. Helmet prefers to be called Lord ... Kanye goes by Yeezus -- and, of course, they both share a fondness for crushing anyone who crosses and/or talks to them.

Just sayin' ...

Anyway ... "May the Schwartz be with you."
