Description
After Star Wars hit in 1977, every studio wanted its own space opera, and one of them ended up in federal court over it. These are the cash-ins Hollywood rushed out, from Battlestar Galactica to the Corman clone that gave James Cameron his start. #starwars #scifimovies #scifi #80smovies
