Galaxy Quest Merchandise – The Crew of the NSEA Protector
What happens when aliens pick up television signals and mistake shows for "historical documents"? They rebuild the spaceship and bring the actors on board. That's exactly what 1999's "Galaxy Quest" tells: the cast of a cancelled sci-fi show – led by Tim Allen as the vain commander-actor Jason Nesmith, Sigourney Weaver as Gwen DeMarco, and Alan Rickman as the chronically underused character actor Alexander Dane – fall in with the alien Thermians, who need their help against a real warlord. Dean Parisot's comedy lovingly parodies everything that makes sci-fi shows and their fandoms tick, and is precisely for that reason regarded by Trekkies as an honorary member of the genre. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed Galaxy Quest merchandise for everyone who salutes on reflex at "Never give up, never surrender!"
What makes Galaxy Quest stand out?
The double layer. Galaxy Quest works as a comedy about vain actors and clueless aliens – and simultaneously as a full-fledged space adventure with an onboard computer, a self-destruct sequence, and a heroic finale. The film pokes fun at fandom without ever looking down on fans: in the end, it's precisely the convention-goers with the show blueprints who make the rescue possible. Add to that an ensemble at the top of its game, above all Alan Rickman, whose exasperated "By Grabthar's hammer" has long achieved cult status all on its own. For collectors, the brand has remained something of an insider tip – anyone with a piece of Galaxy Quest on the shelf recognizes fellow fans by the grin.
