this film and and the television series that go with it and definitely have the great impact on a lot of boy childhood in the early 80 . if like me you be unsure of whether you saw star war or this first and then a mutual fondness of both arises . today battlestar galactica be consider to be an example of how not to do sci fi despite the opening promise and with the unforgettable destruction of humanity home and the following promise of hope still bring tear to my eye the series quickly degenerate into child television aim at the young and dim of child everywhere . but none of that affect the promise of this opening film and which have all the element any successful film or tv movie could hope to employ drama and action and loyalty and betrayal and destruction and death and loss and hope and and the most lovable of character everywhere right down to boxey and who by own muffit and be the envy of child everywhere . ( in fact it rumour that annakin skywalker look be base on him . ) so overall and i would recommend this film it symbolise all the good that make the late 70 memorable .
