Oddly enough, I've never heard or seen "Starchaser: The Legend of Orin" before now in 2020, when I watched a video about "Star Wars" knock off movies. I saw this movie in that video, and opted to sit down and watch it. So I did.
I must admit that I had expected more of a copy/paste job of "Star Wars" as it was featured in that video. Turns out that "Starchaser: The Legend of Orin" was actually original enough to stand out from being a copy, in my opinion. Sure, there were some similarities here and there, but if you look for such, you can find similarities to other movies in every single thing you sit down to watch.
And I was a kid during the 1980s, watching the likes of "Masters of the Universe", "Bravestarr", "M.A.S.K.", etc., so it was a bit odd that this animated movie had eluded me.
I found the storyline in "Starchaser: The Legend of Orin" to be entertaining and it was a fun movie to watch. Definitely was a trip down memory lane, to the mid-1980s cartoons, given the art style and animation style in "Starchaser: The Legend of Orin".
"Starchaser: The Legend of Orin" gets a six out of ten stars rating from me. I liked this animated movie, and I can warmly recommend that you sit down to watch it, especially if you like sci-fi adventures and were a child during the 1980s. Thumbs up to this one.
