People on here mention it once in awhile; it is worthy of note mainly because it was George Lucas' first film. It was kind of 1984ish with people running around with bald heads and lots of bright white sets. Doesn't seem quite the "Best SF" material, though. -Ted Ives Dartmough College I mean DartmouTh philabs!ihnp4!dartvax!tedi
