...very fast shuffle, the film suddenly announces that the villain is not merely a Death Star, but "a great, living machine." When Ilia, the Enterprise's navigator, is captured by the enemy and literally rewired to be its servant, she explains that the machine is seeking its creator and is terribly cross. The bad temper results from the fact that though the great machine thinks like a whiz, it has no human emotions. And so the picture ends not with a bang but, as it were, a bang. One of the space cadets...
...come up with any runaway hits so far this season, but Fred Silverman's troubled network cannot be counted out. Its winter replacement shows include United States, by the creator of M*A*S*H, and a new dramatic series, Skag, starring Karl Maiden. This summer NBC has the bonanza of the Olympic Games.

For 43 years they frolicked across the funny pages lampooning the foibles of the high and mighty and mouthing the pungent politics of their raspy-voiced creator, Al Capp. He called his hillbilly vaudeville Li'l Abner, and it made him a wealthy man, though not an especially happy one.
