Nice review, lay-out and photos. You have an obvious affection for the film and don't diss it just because of its budget like some reviewers. I think its a terrific movie with such a epic and large scope for a b-movie, its like the 70s' Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica (also favourites) with a slightly bigger budget but similar in production styles. It helps that Magnificent Seven is one of my favourites too so relocating it's plot to outer space really is appealing and, as much as i love the original three Star Wars movies, this is arguably more satisfying and enjoyable as a 90 minute one off experience.
