Big money space western with regal trimmings

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2001)

Based on R1 DVD
Let's see there is the democratically elected queen whose identity is so such a big secret even the members of other governments don't know what she looks like. There's a virgin birth. There's a herd of cow brained creatures who have a very high tech underwater civilisation, an evil trade federation headed by a viceroy, an inept republic run by civil servants and a smattering of WW2 jap & nazi military types. Much of it makes little sense but none the less there is the Lucas touch that so few others have, namely the ability to bring truely fantastical beings to life.
Low brow sci-fi with great eye candy - kids should love it.
