'Starcrash' in 'Star Wars Insider'!


"Starcrash" is mentioned in the latest UK "Star Wars Insider" (#70 July/August - UK version), albeit by it's alternate title of "The Adventures of Stella Star". It's on page 29 in a '30th anniversary of Star Wars' article called, "You said it, Chewie!".
It's only mentioned the once, but to be mentioned at all in a major publication after all these years is quite something. The paragraph reads as follows:

"Of course there were the films that simply took elements from Star Wars and tried to duplicate them in a bid to gain the same audience. Princesses needed rescuing from evil villains on a far more regular basis. Young farm-boys became heroes. Cute robots emulated Laurel and Hardy, or went mad in Saturn 3. Titles such as Laserblast, The Adventures of Stella Star, and Unidentified Flying Oddball abounded."

A teenie, tiny, weenie bit harsh, I thought. But there you go....

They missed their golden opportunity to rip Alfonso Brescia's five "Star Wars" films, all of them filmed on the same sets with the same cast using the same costumes and props. Someone should edit them all together into a seamless 8 hour extravaganza.

Wow, I've never heard of those! I'll have to look them up online.
