Star Crash
This 1978 sci-fi gem is the poor man's Star Wars you're looking for, complete with feuding space factions and an evil space Czar. If the poor acting doesn't sell you, it's guaranteed the cringe worthy costumes, not-so-special effects, sexist stereotypes, and God awful man perms most definitely will.

I own a battered VHS copy that I found at a thrift store years ago. Last week, my brother was visiting and constantly complaining about his various media subscriptions. I was half-listening, looking up a contact page https://the-daily-wire.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html for him on my laptop, when I decided we just needed a break from modern screens. I popped the tape in, and we spent the entire night laughing at those horrendous man perms and incredibly cheap spaceship models.
