They will infringe copyright as soon as they are sufficiently similar to the original. You can’t shoot a non-verbatim but clearly recognizable beat-by-beat remake of Star Wars, call it Galaxy Conflict, and get away with monetizing it.
Correct.
You have to call it "Starcrash" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079946/?ref_=ls_t_8). Then it's legal.
Interesting artifact, but the very first/top IMDB user review convincingly contradicts that this is a Star Wars remake. ;)
