	DVD Review of Starchaser: The Legend of Orin - DVDtoons! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		To be fair, to say that Starchaser is a Lucas copy-cat when he himself plundered the depths of Saturday morning matinees and 1930s sci-fi, is a little harsh.
		Starchaser does serve up a few unique ideas of its own that would be referenced (intended or not) by later projects, significantly Titan AE, to which this bears most similarities, and it could be said that the villain’s comeuppance here certainly “foreshadows” The Phantom Menace, bringing things back full circle.
		Starchaser is a well made animated film, bearing in mind the 1985 release date, so don’t let the simply drawn front cover image or the lack-lustre stills on the back put you off!
