Fandom Fact: How Flash Gordon Spawned Star Wars
Fandom Fact: How Flash Gordon Spawned Star Wars
George Lucas originally wanted to make a big budget remake of the 1930′s serials. However, the rights holders turned down his proposal, and he made Star Wars instead.
It makes me wonder how pop culture might have developed differently had the Flash Gordon remake been given the green light. Would we all be quoting Ming the Merciless instead of Darth Vader, or would George Lucas have fallen into obscurity?

In the comics, he developed his own hologram technology which could completely change the appearance of a vehicle, and on his character card he’s stated to be a polyglot. It’s hard telling what kind of IQ hides under that Mad Max/metalhead exterior. Seems like he’s shooting a little low being the leader of a mercenary biker gang, but maybe he prefers a low profile for whatever reason.
I wish we got to see more of Zartan's scientific exploits. Besides the synthoids, a few random scenes like this, and the real appearance of his swamp hideout, we get pretty much nothing
I’ve always wondered where villains find their interior decorators...
Who else remembers when Vy’keen had...tentacles?
