The Movie
Synopsis
The continuation of Fugitive Alien. After a brief recap of the first movie, the Star Force spaceship Bacchus-3 is heading to the planet Sayzar of the Colonel they rescued from prison in the first part. They plan to, with his help, sabotage a weapon there that can destroy an entire planet. They succeed, but the Colonel suddenly feels patriotic when he hears Sayzar’s Handel-like anthem over a loudspeaker, and is killed when he runs back to prevent the secret weapon from being destroyed.
The next part of the movie seems to come from a different episode of the show, as it shows the crew of the Bacchus-3 going to another planet for another weapon, one that can destroy the entire universe. But this story is soon forgotten when Ken sees someone who looks exactly like his mom. It turns out to be a trap to kill Ken set by the Kabuki Darth Vader guy, ruler of Ken’s planet Valnastar, who was last seen in the first movie. Ken and the Kabuki Darth then fight it out, both on the ground and in spaceships, and the Kabuki Darth is (apparently) killed when his spaceship crashes. So the Bacchus-3 now takes off again, but Ken tells the rest of the crew that he is leaving to return to his planet of Valnastar and change it into a better place for all the Kens in the universe. The End. [1]
