Melissa M It's definitely no Star Trek or Star Wars. And the story of marauding pirates is nothing new. However an All-Star cast of Robert Urich, Angelica Huston, John Carradine & Ron Perlman makes up for that. In spite of that Some of best acting is from the robots. The part where the pirates bring the animals on board is kind of cute. It's definitely a gross out comedy. It has moments of hilarity. Especially the scene with the unix. And the scene where the pirates are escaping with the princess. If you like your humor on the crude side this film is for you. It's watchable.

Bossy Princess, Firm Princess Attractive Princess, Hot Princess No Royalty, Royalty Rebels, No Rebels Wookie, no wookie Fun Clean movie, Fun Dirty movie As for Light Sabers and Sword, that is comparing any ray gun to pistols. Does that make any future movie a western? The in fighting and name calling that the movie studio execs had at the time did a huge disservice to this movie. Their labelling that this was a Star War like movie also does not fit and yet, it seems to carry weight with people when it has no merit. The better analogy would be a comparison to Battlestar Galactica in terms of finding Earth. I would be surprised if this version is not as good as the original version of the script. Since they rewrote it due to the infighting, I am willing to bet, it was not as good as the first. It is a shame that this movie was never given the chance and never got the recognition from the audience it deserved. I rather enjoyed the flow of the movie and the interaction with the androids as a side line. This movie had a lot of lost potential by being made under such a hostile environment. The corporate office is at fault for this movie not having done better. It was a completely different take than Star Trek, Star Wars, or any other fan favorite move then or now.
