So, gay robot, mystical sword that can cut through anything, swashbuckling smuggler with an attitude? That's all the similarities? Hardly a star wars ripoff. Since this was released shortly after SW, I can see how the then-narrow-minded reviewers would call this space opera a ripoff.

Can't you just realize that this is a damn-good movie?

Contrary to previous posts, I detect no SW sound effects.

I can see Star Wars as a major inspiration, but in almost every other way, this movie can stand on its own. But also it is more, shall we say, mystical than Star Wars.

And I wonder how much of Star Wars was actually ripped off from other areas, including Star Trek.

Star Wars was a remake of Kurosawa's 'Throne of Blood', a 1957 Samurai movie, so by that proxy 'Starchaser' is actually the more original movie

Star Wars rip off? Hahahaha....Arthur sounds like a certain droid.

Also, lightsabers are not "mystical, but they are technological

OK ok enough about movie comparisons and lets talk about the movie itself, "this kid" is pissing me off somewhat his stupidity is unbelievable so far all he does is stand around and go ....huh?...... what? seems like he lost his urge to survive

@Johnlindsey289 that was a south park reference, the episode was called "Dances with Smurfs" and made fun of the obvious rip offs Cameron did. And yes I was most of the movies you mentioned, but you still forgot Pocahontas ;)

@rolypoly92

That's what i thought when i saw AVatar in theaters many times, James Cameron is a fan of Sci-fi/fantasy, animation, anime and adult animation including this one. Pandora you mean! yes Cameron did borrowed from this at times including those movies i mentioned.

@Orestloki

What's with the smurfs crap? the Na'Vi are like the Draags from Fantastic Planet. Ever seen any of those movies i mentioned and Last of the Mohicans?

@Johnlindsey289 you forgot pocahontas and dances with smurfs ;)

The world when he gets up to the surface reminds me of Avatar definitely. In my eyes the director of Avatar would be even more of a legend if he's a fan of this!
