I saw this in the summer of 1979, when I was 13. I had a fixation with "Star Wars", and "Alien" was soon to come in the future. I saw "Starcrash" listed in the newspaper and thought "wow, gotta see this!" Of course, it ripped off "Star Wars" mightily (check out Marjoe Gortner's cheap lightsabre imitation), but what sci-fi flick of the period didn't? Probably the best part for me at that time was the scantily-clad Caroline Munro as Stella Starr! Of course, I was 13 at the time! I remember how all the "stars" were so colourful, compared to the stark black-and-white star fields of previous sci-fi movies.
I saw this many years later as an adult and thought how cheesy it was. I also scratch my head at how such a respected actor as Christopher Plummer got roped into this! Mostly, though, I remember how much fun it was. See it, don't take it seriously, and laugh if you like!
