The funny thing to me is that they took actual footage from star wars and used it in their film. The other material they actually shot a movie but they used other people's materials. I'm watching Turkish star trek right now and they actually had a black woman play Uruha! :)
I think that if they could have done an entire series if they had licensed it. Instead of Kirk they could have had Capt. Subat. There are a few movies where the character would be considered a "Shaft" like character. Shaft is a archetype character that is world wide. The big difference is that I don't think that they would have had a woman like Coffy there. Too controversial against Muslim culture.
