---

In this Star Wars take-off, the peaceful planet of Jillucia has been nearly wiped out by the Gavanas, whose leader takes orders from his mother (played a comic actor in drag) rather than the Emperor. King Kaiba sends out eight Liabe holy seeds, each to be received by a chosen one to defend the Gavanas. Each recipient, ranging from hardened General Garuda to Gavana Prince Hans to young Terrans Meia, Kido, and Aaron all have different reactions to being chosen.

Movie Trivia: Portions of this film were spliced into "Astron Belt", the first laserdisc-based arcade game. This TV movie is in fact the pilot of a short running TV show called "San Ku Kai". San Ku Kai was very popular in France were it was dubbed into French by the same people who dubbed the animated series Capitaine Flam ("Captain Futur"). In fact it was more popular in France than it ever was in Japan. IMDB Links: » User Comments at imdb.com » More information at imdb.com Keywords: Space Opera  ...[more] Keywords All: Seen it?
