I can totally see the Son of Starfighter thing, but at the same time, in my mind, this movie is classic enough to be done as a remake. Now I LOVED Lance Guest and Catherine Mary Stewart as actors, but it just seems to me that the story as a whole is so much more orginal(even though it's been done once already) than anything out there. It just has that reach-for-the-stars feel that no movie since MAYBE the new Star Trek has had. Key to all of it is capturing that sense of wonder and amazement that the original did so well, despite the fledgling effects and iffy script. By doing a remake, it would also make it easier to do sequels with actors that are still young enough to do them. Maybe a remake with Guest and Stewart as cameos? I don't know. All I know is this, I emailed George Paige and told him not to f*$k it up, end of story. I’m split as to the way this should go.

Cannot wait for this, however the company producing it GPA, is not known for large budgets. IMDB has confirmed a release date of next year, and Norman Snow is cast as Xur!!!!

(Example: Stargate = Stargate SG1 & Atlantis). A working title for it could be "Starfighter Academy". With the Starfighter arcade game being sent out all over the galaxies, the possibilities are endless. Just some more ideas.

Especially if the original cast gets on board. I've always liked the idea of Alex and Maggie having a son and a daughter. The daughter would become a starfighter and the son would be kidnapped by Zur as a baby and raised to be evil (My spin on the Luke/Leah birth seperation). That way a new starfighter recruit can be a male teen from earth who later can be the love interest to the Rogan's daughter. Just some ideas. Greetings Starfighter…fans.

Look forward to the release. It’s about time, I can’t believe that this movie was not better know, it was the first with computer graphics, and was just as good a story line as Star Wars.

The idea of Alex and Maggie having a child(ern) is going to be expected. Alex is now, commander of Starfighter Legion----hmmm good title. New Starfighter cadets with a Rogan or Rogans can be cool. One of them is a maverick another like iceman(Top-Gun). The Legion is sent on a wild goose chase, while our young heroes are left to defend, the League. They pickup a transmission that the dastardly Ko-Dan are actually going to attack Earth. So, the cadet squadron goes racing to save the day. I like Sci-Fi, but I hope they come up with something new. But this idea can work and be cool. Either which way, my sci-fi geek ass will go see it anyway. Cheers!!! I am really thrilled about a Starfighter sequel.

There are many ways the story could go but I chose to update the story to modern times and then a sequel could easily be done from that.
