Blackstar Opening Theme

Blackstar is an American animated television series, a science fantasy story sometimes reported as being inspired by Thundarr the Barbarian. It was produced in 1981 by Lou Scheimer and Norm Prescott for Filmation. The series was Filmation's second fantasy epic, the first being tucked in as a segment of Tarzan and Tarzan and the Super 7, The Freedom Force. Blackstar has many notable similarities to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, which was produced shortly afterwards.

ohn Blackstar was an astronaut from a future version of Earth who had been swept through a black hole and stranded on the planet Sagar, where magic and sword and sorcery still ruled the day. Together with his allies, the Trobbits, Klone (a shape-shifting elfin companion), the dragon Warlock, and Mara the Enchantress, Blackstar battled the cruel Overlord, a ruthless Ming-like oppressor, who ruled by the might of the Powersword, one half of the Powerstar, an immensely powerful weapon. Fortunately, Blackstar possessed its other half, the Starsword, which kept the Overlord and his dark minions in check.

I remember the PowerStar! And eternal struggle betweent the power sword and the star sword. I thought this was a cool show as a kid.

Help save the Trobbits of the Trire against the evil lord Trauron!

The shape shifter sidekick was cool. Good Filmation series, but not quite up to the level of He-Man, which came a couple years later.

COOL . . . Where did Blackstar come from?

Like it and want to see more of it.

[TheKrottyKid]

What the hell is a "Trobbit"? That wouldn't be anything like a Hobbit, would it?

[cqtaylor]

"An ancient alien universe." As opposed to an ancient local universe?

[DoktorKlaus666]

How the hell can you call them swords?!? They look more like some kind of crowbar!
