Oh boy, here we go again.
I rated this a 1 because IMDB won't allow me to rate it a big fat zero. When you see the title: "Battle Star Wars", what do you immediately think of? Could it possibly be the Lucas/Disney Star Wars franchise? Hmmm..do you think that maybe the title of this film was intentionally chosen as such? Here's a test, do a Google search for "Battle Star Wars". Do you see the results that come up? Most of them are for the legit Star Wars franchise and it's various properties. Do you need any further indicator that this really cheap shoestring sci-fi flick is a cash grab trying to capitalize on the current wave of popularity that the legit Star Wars is getting from it's recent string of films?
Here's another thing to raise your eyebrows: have you read the synopsis? "When the leader of the evil Coalition threatens to destroy a Rebel planet for its resources, his daughter will have no choice but to join the Rebel side and fight for what is right." What's that sound like? If you said Star Wars, you're absolutely correct. "Evil Coalition" or...........Galactic Empire?? They're threatening to destroy a so-called "Rebel Planet" huh? You mean like how the Death Star or Starkiller Base destroyed planets in Star Wars? Maybe how the Death Star blew up Alderaan in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope? Gee...no, that couldn't possibly be it.
And how about that daughter (of the leader of the so-called evil coalition) that joins the rebels and fights for what is right? Did these writers step out of the theater after watching Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and think that they could just copy that film's premise? I'm not spoiling anything but well...you know. If you haven't been living under a rock then you already know to what I'm referring. It doesn't take a genius to see that this film is a total rip off. In this day and age, real Star Wars media are so widely available that one has to wonder why anyone in their right mind would want to watch a cheap knock-off? Then again, those people are probably the same ones that enjoy saving a $1 or 2 on their Tommy "Hilfinger" jeans.
