Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChristopher Plummer admitted that he did the film so he could visit Italy for free. In an interview he said "Give me Rome any day. I'll do porno in Rome, as long as I can get to Rome. Getting to Rome was the greatest thing that happened in that for me."
- GoofsWhen the characters reach the ice planet, they are told the temperature drops thousands of degrees once the sun sets. Unless the planet's surface temperature is literally thousands of degrees, which even Mercury isn't, the most it can drop would be to absolute zero (the temperature at which a thermodynamic system has the lowest energy): - 273 degrees Celsius (-273.15 °C or -459.67 °F).
- Quotes
The Emperor: You know, my son, I wouldn't be Emperor of the Galaxy if I didn't have some powers at my disposal. Imperial Battleship, halt the flow of time!

Featured review
Better than the 2 Star Wars Prequels !
I've been a fan of this movie for many years,a friend who used to work in a video shop told me of it,he said it was just like Star Wars ! He was both right and wrong in the same breath.It is a Star Wars inspired movie,but also borrows heavily from Barbarella,Flash Gordon etc... As to it being as good as the original...no way ! It is however better than the 2 prequels and was probably the same price for the whole movie as their catering costs ! If you've not seen it...do so now !
