Starchaser: The Legend of Orin

Starcatcher: The Legend of Orin is a 1985 American animated sci-fi adventure film directed & produced by Steven Hahn and written by animation writer Jeffrey Scott.

==Plot==
Set on the subterranean Mine-World, a band of human workers are treated like slaves under the control of the evil overlord Zygon.
One of the humans, Orin discovers the hilt of a mythical sword that only he is able to master. After escaping Mine-World, he runs into a rogue smuggler named Dagg, a pair of helpful droids and a princess. Together, they return to Mine-World to defeat Zygon and free the human workers.

==Production ==
The movie borrows a lot of elements from the Star Wars movies.
Much of the film was animated with a 1.85:1 frame in mind, but the two-perf single-strip 3D projection system required a 2.35:1 ratio. 
Because of that, many of the shots appear framed unusually tight and in some cases, the characters' heads are partially cut off.
==Box Office==
"Starchaser: The Legend of Orin" debuted at #6 at the box office, grossing $1,614,660 during its opening weekend. Domestically, it only grossed $3,360,800.
==Critical Reception==
The movie was given a 66% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The New York Times described it as "such a brazen rip-off of George Lucas's Star Wars that you might think lawyers would have been called in".
