15 Worst And Best Sci-Fi Movies Inspired By Star Wars

1-15

Guardians Of The Galaxy

15. Best - Guardians Of The Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy combines bright visuals, sharp humor, and a killer soundtrack into one of Marvel’s most fun and rewatchable rides. The mismatched team of misfits has real chemistry, and their bickering charm turns this space opera into something fresh, fast-paced, and surprisingly heartfelt. | © Walt Disney Pictures

Space Mutiny

14. Worst - Space Mutiny

Space Mutiny is so low-effort it recycles footage from Battlestar Galactica and still manages to look worse. Between the hilariously stiff acting, nonsensical plot, and the infamous dead crew member who casually returns to her post, this one’s best enjoyed with the MST3K commentary. | © Action International Pictures

The Last Starfighter

13. Best - The Last Starfighter

The Last Starfighter takes a classic teen daydream, being amazing at a video game, and turns it into a space adventure with real heart. What makes it special isn’t the early CGI or alien battles, but the way it treats its characters, especially Alex, like real people with real choices. | © Universal Studios

Message from Space

12. Worst - Message From Space

Message from Space is a flashy answer to Star Wars from Japan, but beneath the colourful visuals and space-sailing ships, it’s mostly a noisy mess. The plot barely holds together, and the acting feels off (sometimes literally), and yes, there are magic walnuts involved. | © United Artists

Star Trek II

11. Best - Star Trek II: Wrath Of Khan

The Wrath of Khan isn’t just a great Star Trek movie; it's a powerful story about ageing, revenge, and sacrifice that hits surprisingly hard. With Ricardo Montalbán’s unforgettable turn as Khan and one of the most emotional finales in sci-fi history, this sequel boldly goes where most blockbusters don’t even try. | © Paramount Pictures

Masters of the Universe

10. Worst - Masters Of The Universe

Masters of the Universe tries to combine sci-fi and fantasy, but mostly ends up looking like Star Wars in a Halloween costume. Between the awkward Earth setting, cringeworthy dialogue, and Dolph Lundgren’s wooden performance, it’s hard to take anything seriously. | © Amazon Studios

Spaceballs

9. Best - Spaceballs

Spaceballs nails what a parody should be, it's sharp, silly, and full of jokes that land. With Rick Moranis as the hilariously pathetic Dark Helmet and Mel Brooks breaking the fourth wall like it's made of paper, this Star Wars spoof never runs out of ridiculous ideas that somehow just work. | © MGM

Starcrash

8. Worst - Starcrash

Starcrash throws everything at the screen, space battles, glowing swords, a robot with a Southern drawl, and David Hasselhoff, and none of it makes sense. It’s a chaotic Star Wars wannabe where the only thing holding it together is Caroline Munro running around in a bikini and sheer absurdity. | © New World Pictures

Krull

7. Best - Krull

Krull combines sci-fi and high fantasy in a way that’s full of charm, imagination, and adventure, complete with a magical weapon, a great score, and even a young Liam Neeson. It’s not perfect, but its heart, world-building, and old-school fantasy vibe make it a hidden gem that deserves more love. | © Columbia Pictures

Galaxina

6. Worst - Galaxina

Galaxina tries to spoof Star Wars, Star Trek, and just about every sci-fi hit of the time, but it ends up as a clunky mix of bad jokes, awkward sex appeal, and genre confusion. Dorothy Stratten shines despite it all, but the movie itself is more cringeworthy than cult classic. | © Crown International Pictures

The Black Hole

5. Best - The Black Hole

The Black Hole aimed high with stunning visuals, eerie atmosphere, and a haunting score by John Barry that still sticks with you. Despite the clunky, kid-friendly robots, its bold ending and chilling villain make it a surprisingly ambitious space adventure that dares to go darker than you'd expect. | © Walt Disney Pictures

Star Odyssey

4. Worst - Star Odyssey

Star Odyssey is what happens when you chase Star Wars hype with cardboard sets, laser swords that look like neon sticks, and sound effects ripped from cartoons. It’s hilariously awful in every way and somehow, that's its only charm. | © Universal Pictures

Independence Day

3. Best - Independence Day

Independence Day is the best ‘90s alien invasion movie; it's loud, proud, and packed with exploding landmarks. It’s cheesy, over-the-top, and not exactly subtle, but the spectacle and sheer popcorn fun make it a Star Wars-inspired blockbuster that delivers exactly what it promises. | © 20th Century Studios

Laserblast

2. Worst - Laserblast

Laserblast tries to ride the Star Wars wave with alien tech and desert chaos, but it crashes hard with laughable effects and a plot that barely holds together. The main character randomly turning into a zombie-like creature with a space gun might sound fun until you actually watch it. | © Irwin Yablans Company

Alien

1. Best - Alien

Alien took the space adventure formula and turned it into something far more terrifying, a sci-fi horror where the real monster is silence and suspense. With its eerie atmosphere, brutal surprises, and a strong female lead in Ripley, it flipped Star Wars-inspired space fantasy into something dark and unforgettable. | © 20th Century Studios
