LIGHT YEARS BEYOND TOMORROW...

In the distant future, the planet Metropolis is a peaceful utopia led by The Great Brother. His reign is threatened, however, by Graal. Graal enlists the help of a mad scientist named Dr. Kraspin, who has a plan to make unstoppable supersoldiers he calls "Humanoids." For this he requires Kapitron, a powerful element that is kept at the Grovan Institute on Metropolis.

Probably the most Star Wars-like movie that isn't actually part of the Star Wars franchise.

Also.. "LIGHT YEARS BEYOND TOMORROW?" A light-year is a unit of length, numbnuts, not time.

Thanks! This looks kinda hilarious and awesome. Was able to find it on archive.org and grabbed a copy for my plex server : https://archive.org/details/the-humanoid

The same way that a parsec is a unit of time, numbnuts!

That "probably" in your first sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting :D

I wonder why George Lucas never sued them. In some parts it's such an obvious clone, near to a remake.

I mean, I doubt this movie made a lot of profit, so I don't think suing them would be very beneficial?

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You're right. Could have given them credibility and publicity Lucas didn't want to hand out.

Wow, I'm 97% certain I saw this Star Wars knock off on TV when I was a kid but could never remember what it was. Thank you for this!
