Take three parts Star Wars, and mix them with 3 ounces of Heavy Metal. Send overseas to bake on high for a few months and you get this movie.

For our second clone, we head across the pond to see what Japan has to say about Star Wars.

Mix that together and you have one of the most interesting spins on the Star Wars formula we've seen!
