First came ''Film/TheMysterians'', then ''Film/BattleInOuterSpace''. Then in 1977 the loose trilogy of {{Toku}} alien invasion films was concluded with '''Great Planet War''' (惑星大戦争, Wakusei Daisensō), screening in the U.S. as '''The War in Space''.

Hot on the heels of Creator/GeorgeLucas completely upending blockbuster cinema, {{Creator/Toho}} leaps into SpaceOpera using the considerable box of tools available to them. Galactic empires, laser pistol battles, and zooming starfighters galore!

!!This film contains examples of the following:

* AlienInvasion: That's what we're all here for, yes?
* CoolAirship: The ''Gohten''
* DeathRay: Abounding, on both sides.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The Gohten's dock is hidden beneath an island.
* GoGoEnslavement: For all its obvious FollowTheLeader qualities to ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]'', it was ahead of the curve on putting the captured female lead in revealing attire.
* LatexPerfection: A mild example, as the only point of the Yomi masks seems to be to conceal their [[RubberForeheadAliens blue skin]].
* SpaceIsNoisy: Par for the course.
* SpaceRomans: The Yomi follow this aesthetic, for whatever reason.
