Besides, there was no nudity in his saga, and if there's one thing that these auteurs liked to add in their works to spice things up, it was the presence of ladies not wearing any clothes. But it's really the Ridley Scott market Corman and company were heading for here, something for exploitation creators that was even more lucrative than taking their inspiration from George Lucas.

He shakes off the effects of his slumber and stumbles to the control room, then begins flicking switches to fire up the laser cannons and missiles, expertly targetting the assailants and blowing them out of space with keen aim.
