Cheesy 70’s tv Star Wars rip off 1st 3 episodes turned into a movie and it works really well, gd story decent sfx for the time worth a watch
The best Star Wars rip off. Great Characters and six. Awsome stories!!!
What started as a Star Wars rip off became an interesting take on its own right. Shane they couldn't sustain it first time around.
It’s been years since I grew up watching this. Good memories, but forgettable.
The core is solid for something seemingly slapped together to capitalise on Star Wars fever. The 'crash of the week' episodes less solid.
Great start to this series. Does an excellent job establishing the story, characters, and the world they are in. Got me invested right away.
Campy late 70's scifi trying to capture the market that star wars opened up, not great
Awful
Great 70s cheesy sci-fi action fun
Not my cup of tea
