      NOICE. My comment saying Battle Beyond the Stars was better than Rebel Moon while still having a ship with a rack, but using the "B" word for that, was removed by CZcams. Given other things I see on CZcams comment wise I really have low faith in the efficacy of their mod efforts.

      Hmm, keep in mind that the Akira Kurosawa imitation films are different from a typical Mockbuster. A typical Mockbuster is a cash in which gets released shortly before a big movie. Most obviously, they’re not direct ripoffs of Akira Kurosawa’s own movies either. Sorry for my rambles, but not all #mockbusters are created equal anyways.

      Even if all the Turks laugh at the Turkish Star Wars, it does not give it any sort of "cultural excuse", if such a thing exists.
