This week, we're diving into the aftermath of Star Wars and the wave of 'inspired' films that followed its massive success. We'll be taking a closer look at Starcrash (1978), Luigi Cozzi's disco-lit Space Opera that embraces campy visuals and wild adventures, and Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), a Roger Corman production often described as Seven Samurai in space. These films are just two examples of the many attempts to capitalize on the Star Wars phenomenon, and we'll explore what makes them stand out in the sea of imitators.

Join us as we journey through these quirky and entertaining slices of Space Opera history.
