This animated movie was panned for being a Star Wars wannabe. It definitely has a lot of similarities. It has a magical sword of light. It has robots. Most importantly, it has the trio of characters. It's the rogue, the princess, and the young innocent hero. It's sci-fi. The story is different and there is a more mature tone. The style is 70's animation. It's one of the earliest mixing of computer animation. If one is willing to overlook the Star Wars pandering, this is a functional sci-fi animated movie. There are some issues with the story but one can also overlook those.
