I'm interested in seeing this, I have the original 1980s series on dvd. That version was amazing, hope this one is as well!

The imperial ruler is the good guy against supposed evil priests and capitalists? A mysterious British pirate pilot drops in to give the upper hand to the dubious good Lord? Maybe I should watch the preview but I'm thinking not.
