I remembered the T V series which my whole elementary school, friends on the street loved. One of the last DVD stores, in the mall, had the box set. For under 40 dollar I said Mike this is some cheap entertainment. Is Saga of a Star World as good as I remembered the series when I was around 9 or 11 years old? Well my wife and I watched the pilot movie and hope this was not a Mystery Science Theater dud! Saga of a Star World ages well. The Star Wars style effects look good, and are not cheesy. The characters are likeable, believable and have strong performances. Lorene Green just drives the story with strong acting. Apollo and Starbuck characters are likeable with Apollo being the conflict hero, and Starbuck the womanizing comic relief. Saga of a Star World is a mix of mythology with plot twist which keep viewers wanting more. Baltar, and the Cylons makes interesting characters as the sub plots unravel. Sag of a Star Would end on a strong climatic end. Star Wars influence whit a different flavor.
