004 - Starchaser: The Legend of Orin

Director: Steven Hahn
Year: 1985

I don't really know what it is about this film, but I love it. Think Star Wars but less crazy Jedi stuff. The film follows Orin, a slave in the mine-world under the evil ruler Zygon who fights back with a magical sword he finds while digging. While escaping the mine-world, Orin runs into a smuggler named Dagg who helps him take down Zygon.

The film borders on outlaw animation and is at times a dark and gritty film. There is some violence, language, and some suggestive scenes all of which are surprising for a PG film. Yes it is animated, but it is a great movie for kids and adults. It is a quick watch and well worth it.
