    10:07 The real translation is:
    Ali(Aytekin Akkaya): "You fought to loud. Her(the princess) husbands(the monsters) came.
    Murat(Cuneyt Arkin):" Good thing they did, or you would have never left her."
    That's what I remember.

    Like you said, subtitles are optional, but since I watched this subbed, I can say they can really enhance the experience.
    Why? Because the actual plot (or at least, what this movie tries to pass as plot) is bonkers as all hell. The beginning has loads of exposition about humanity advancing to the space age and being attacked by a mysterious alien force (led by a evil wizard), but here's come the craziest part: The aliens didn't destroyed Earth yet because it is protected by a forcefield made of human brains. I'm not making this up.
    Also, those guys on horses that attack them at the beginning... They were supposed to be skeletons.

    Loving these Turkish movies content as a Turkish person.
    Here are some fun facts from a fellow Cüneyt Arkın fan(may he rest in peace)
    Originaly the movie was going to be more than 2 hours. They had to cut.
    So the story goes they had a great set, some props and even 2 spaceships, back in the day it was gonna be a very expensive movie.
    But due to heavy storm almost all the props and spaceships and set were destroyed.
    There was this old interview in which Cüneyt told;
    "In the night we were sewing the fluffy monster constumes and at day we were ripping them apart"
    Because of the heavy budget limitations due to losing everything on set, they had to " improvise" a lot of things including ripping off scenes from other movies.
    Great job on video, I may even suggest some Cüneyt Arkın hidden gems at some point.

      The training montage is such an unnecessary sequence: if the film started with Cüneyt Arkın punching TIE fighter stockfootage, I'd still believe it. He's Cüneyt Arkın, and he can do that.
      Still a more original take on Star Wars than the Force Awakens.

    Yes and a other funny thing about the movie is that át certain point of it they speak that Islam is the best religion and Mohamed its is prophet. Immagine Star Wars with Luk and Han Solo talking about Jesus and Christianity...

    You should check out Jimmy Wang Yu's Chinese Boxer, the training montage in Turkish Star Wars seems to be ripping that off as well

    12:24 Nah, he's just being turned into Turkish Winter Soldier. 14:16 So now we know the origin story of Turkish Ferrus Mannus (WH40k). Anyway, nice to finally see this infamous stinker in all it's glory, great review as always!

    Damn it. The monster at 12:00 is from The Magic Sword (1962). I know cause i saw it on MST3K.. And they said "Teddy Ruxpin, NO!!!!!" Damn you Turkish Star Wars.

    My wife is from Turkey. I get her to translate the dialogue, it is rubbish "You should like good wine and your good looks will get you into trouble"
    She said she used to take the Mickey out of films like this when she was growing up.
    Arkin was a big star in Turkey, partly because he had blue eyes which, although not unheard of, are unusual there.

    "The Rhamphorynchus Boogey" fits with everything.
