...confused!
Simply because they're ALL early 80's sci-fi movies that I saw as a child!
I like them ALL, but I think the funniest one was hands down, Ice Pirates w/that funny aging sequence near the end of the movie!
That was really hilarious!

It's simple; Ice Pirates is the funny one, Battle Beyond the Stars has the better plot and effects, and Space raiders is the third one.
Fortunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered for just such an emergency!
grendelkhan,
so, are ALL 3 supposed to be related somehow, or are they just simply 80's sci-fi movies?
I ALWAYS liked them!
I grew up in the 80's, though.

No, just similarly low budget, Star Wars-inspired, and featuring predominantly tv actors. I have to admit never having seen Space Raiders. Ice Pirates is a bit of goofy fun, mostly (except for that junk with Bruce Vilanche, ugh!). Battle Beyond the Stars was Roger Corman's attempt to cash in; and, as sometimes happened, he had enough talented people working on it that it turned out fairly well. They weren't big box office hits; but, they were entertaining, which is all that really counts.
I grew up, mostly, in the 70s and finished in the 80s. Well grew older, maybe, if not up. Sci-fi had to be serious in the 70s; by the 80s it had gained a sense of humor.

Definitely see Space Raiders it's good too!
I like ALL of them.

AFAIK, Space Raider's re-used most, if not all, of the space footage that was first used in Battle Beyond the Stars. I don't recall Ice Pirates reusing any footage.
