The star name (I guess it is a star) which seems to come up more than any other in science fiction is “Rigel”.

I would guess that Mars is the favorite home planet of more sci-fi movies than all others combined. I will never forget seeing “Invaders From Mars” around 1953 or so. I was only six and it had a tremendous impact on me. For maybe 50 years I had images in my head of that movie. I finally saw it again a few years ago and discovered those images were not quite right.

What star system was “Forbidden Planet” supposed to be from?

I like Forbidden Planet, but just think what a waste it would have been if Leslie Nielsen had stayed in “serious” roles.
