IMDb profile

Galaxina is a low-budget 1980 American science fiction movie, best remembered for its lead actress, Playboy Playmate of the Year (for 1980) Dorothy Stratten (who was murdered shortly after the movie's release).

Galaxina is a parody of Star Wars, Star Trek, and Alien and starred Stratten as a lifelike, voluptuous android named Galaxina who is assigned to oversee the operations of a deep-space freighter captained by incompetent Cornelius Butt (Avery Schreiber). When a mission requires the ship's crew to be placed in suspended animation for decades, Galaxina finds herself alone for many years, developing emotions and falling in love with the ship's pilot, Thor (Stephen Macht), as he and the other crew sleep the years away.

Besides its homages/parodying of science fiction maintstays, the film also pokes fun at western movies.
