Decided to visit Altair One and search for the Blue Star?

Well, good luck fellow space traveler!

Word of advice … stay away from the “Human” restaurants.
I came across this gem in the Mill Creek Entertainment Sci-Fi mega pack – a stocking stuffer from Christmas. Watchable? Yes … with a couple of adult beverages and your own “RiffTrax” crew. I highly recommend you make some games up with this turkey: spotting costumes and props from other sci-fi movies, references to other sci-fi movies, and/or spot the Batmobile.

Paramount Ranch in Agoura Hills stands in for the hostile Altair One (through an odd color filter). Utilization of this old western set as a poor man’s Mos Eisley Cantina captures the distressed nature of the buildings by the 1980s.
