After travelling through a black hole and crashlanding on a distant
planet, astronaut John Blackstar [George DiCenzo] is befriended
by the pink colored Trobbits, a local race enslaved on planet Sagar
by an evil Overlord [Alan Oppenheimer]. Riding on his dragon Warlock,
Blackstar eventually wields the Starsword and seeks the Powersword
from Overlord's grasp. Once both swords are combined, an ultimate
weapon is created. His friends Mara [Linda Gary], a sorceress, and
Klone [Patrick Pinney], assist Blackstar in helping the Trobbits
fight off their captor.
The
series lasted a single season - which has been released by Brentwood
Home Video on DVD.
