Topic: Blackstar


  
  Jim's Blackstar page
Premiering in 1981, Blackstar was a sword and sorcery epic, probably inspired at least in part, by the immense popularity of the 1980's Thundarr, the Barbarian.
John Blackstar was an astronaut who had been "swept through a fl hole" and stranded on the planet Sagar, where magic and sword and sworcery still ruled the day.
Blackstar was Filmation's second fantasy epic, the first being tucked neatly in as a segment of Tarzan and the Super 7, The Freedom Force.

 Blackstar (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Blackstar was an astronaut from a future version of Earth who had been swept through a fl 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 Sorceress, 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.
Blackstar was released on DVD on August 22, 2006, under the name Blackstar: The Complete Series.

 Blackstar
Blackstar was designed to handle numerous missions: strategic reconnaissance; anti-satellite; quick-reaction small satellite launch; and delivery of small conventional warheads.
The existence of Blackstar could explain several puzzling aspects of the arms and space race during the Cold War and thereafter.
Development of the Blackstar stalled in the late 1980’s until the fuel for the spaceplane was perfected in 1991.

Blackstar soon discovers that Sagar is ruled by the oppressive Overlord who lives in his Ice Castle and possess one half of the magical Powerstar which was split into two halves - The Powersword possessed by the Overlord - and the Starsword acquired by Blackstar.
Blackstar allies himself with the Trobbits and is joined by the sorceress Mara and Klone, a shapeshifting alien, in his quest to free Sagar from the Overlord's tyrannical rule.
Blackstar was originally envisioned to be of fl ethnicity until CBS ordered that it was too controversial and that audiences were not quite ready for a challenge to the established mores of Saturday morning children's television.

 In From the Cold: Blackstar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Aviation Week, often referred to as Aviation Leak in defense circles, is out with a fascinating story on a top-secret space plane, supposedly built and operated by the U.S., beginning in the late 1980s.
According to the magazine, Blackstar may have recently been shelved, perhaps due to operating costs, or failure to meet performance expectations (more on that in a bit).
Blackstar apparently consisted of a "mothership" that resembled a 1960s-era XB-70 supersonic bomber, which carried the space plane high into the atmosphere.

 Two-Stage-to-Orbit ''Blackstar'' System Shelved at Groom Lake?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Exactly what missions the Blackstar system may have been designed for and built to accomplish are as yet unconfirmed, but U.S. Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) officers and contractors have been toying with similar spaceplane-operational concepts for years.
Lockheed was the lead contractor for Blackstar orbiters being fabricated at McDonnell Douglas in the early 1990s, and workers there typically logged their time against a specific Lockheed charge number associated with that project.
Whether the Blackstar system was ever declared operational or not is unknown, but several orbiters may have flown over the years.

 The Space Review: Six blind men in a zoo: Aviation Week’s mythical Blackstar (page 1)
The Blackstar spaceplane was allegedly launched from a carrier aircraft similar to the XB-70 supersonic bomber.
But it turns out that the atomic-powered bomber never existed, and the plane was never “observed both in flight and on the ground by a wide variety of foreign observers.” It was observed by nobody at all, but that did not prevent the magazine from reporting about it.
The cover story about the Blackstar in the March 6 issue included three articles: a main one (“Spaceplane Shelved?”), one on the small spaceplane known as “Speedy,” or the “Experimental Orbital Vehicle” or “XOV” (“‘Speedy’ Damaged?”), and another on the carrier aircraft designated the “SR-3” (“Echoes of Valhalla”).

 "Blackstar" (1981)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Trivia: Blackstar was originally supposed to be a fl man but was changed by order of CBS.
Blackstar was an animated fantasy series done by Filmation, who went on to create He-man and the Masters of the Universe and She-ra, Princess of Power.
In fact Blackstar seems very much like a warm-up for He-man; the combined science fiction/fantasy atmosphere of Sagar would be reborn in a new form in He-man's Eternia, which would end up getting developed a lot more deeply because He-man ran for something like 130 episodes and Blackstar ran only 13.
