Message From Space has some problems, the least of which is that it came out post Star Wars, but it is a super fun film!
Love the model work too. Doesn’t have the polish of the aforementioned space opera, but they look fantastic in their own way.

The peaceful planet of Jillucia has been nearly wiped out by the Gavanas, whose leader takes orders from his mother rather than the Emperor. King Kaiba sends out eight Liabe holy seeds, each to be received by a chosen one to defend the Gavanas. Each recipient, ranging from hardened General Garuda to Gavana Prince Hans to young Terrans Meia, Kido, and Aaron all have different reactions to being chosen.

A sprawling space opera that assembles an unlikely ensemble of heroes across worlds to fight an invading force, blending earnest heroism with the campy charm of 1970s practical effects and grand theatrical ambition.
