In this Star Wars take-off, the peaceful planet of Jillucia has been nearly wiped out by the Gavanas, whose leader takes orders from his mother (played by comic actor Eisei Amamoto in drag) rather than the Emperor. King Kaiba sends out eight Liabe holy seeds, each to be received by a chosen one to defend the Gavanas. Each recipient, ranging from hardened General Garuda to Gavana Prince Hans to young Terrans Meia, Kido, and Aaron all have different reactions to being chosen.


This in Japan's answer to Star Wars.It has it all:2 heroes,a princess,an R2 (sort of),the evil overlord,millennium falcon rippoff,xwing fighters(with a few wings more),etc...

It's in Japanese & I haven't found subs yet,but it's a rare film by Kinji Fukasaku (Battle Royal) so ...
