Wave One 12-Figure Assortment (Unreleased Prototypes) - The Last Starfighter (Galoob)
"Greetings, Starfighter. You have been selected by the Star League to defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada."
Happy 40th Anniversary to the Last Starfighter (1984) directed by John Carpenter protégé Nick Castle.
Beginning as a scifi update of Arthurian Legend, with an arcade machine instead of a sword from a stone, the Last Starfighter is about a kid in a trailer park who discovers that a video game he achieved a high score on was actually an Excalibur-esque test to determine if who could make it as a real life star pilot, and is recruited to defend an interstellar civilization.
It's amazing how much of this movie stands out in the memory. Grig, the starfighters' "gung ho iguana" sidekick, played by warm character actor Dan O'Herilhy (the main villain of Halloween III: Season of the Witch). Rylos, the planet where men and women alike have male pattern baldness. The silent, sober menace of the Ko-Dan barbarians contrasted against the Caligula-esque madness of Xur. The fact that it was set in a trailer park, where the palpable hopelessness and desperation (but also joy and community) were in contrast to the bucolic suburbia seen in most 80s movies. "Death Blossom." There are so-called "better" movies that nobody remembers as well as this.
Called a "Star Wars ripoff," there are actual Star Wars movies that weren't as good as this.

Haven’t even heard of this movie
The way in Last Starfighter the kid wants so bad to go to college and get out of there but he keeps having to stay and help to the point where he can’t even go hang with his friends while he’s stuck there, but it turns out the thing he does while he’s stuck there is the way to a greater out than he could have planned for or imagined
