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.

Trapped on the planet Sagar, Blackstar is rescued by the tiny trobbit people.
In turn, he joins their fight for freedom against the cruel Overlord, who rules by the might of the Powerstar.

And so with Starsword in hand, Blackstar, together with his allies, sets out to save the planet Sagar.
This is his destiny.

Currently being researched.

Galoob produced a complete toyline set of Blackstarr figures, featuring "Laser Lights" - a dial on the back of each action figure which would create a spark, illuminating the interior (or chest crystal) briefly.
