Question
trying to find the name of Star Wars influenced anime movie around 1977-79. The only thing I remember is the main character had a Klingon shaped ship and he he had a robot drone that helped him command his ship. He was sort of a free lance renegade. But he comes to help some rebel fighters at the end of the movie. The movie was a hit in theaters. Well, at least in NYC.


Answer
From the details you gave me, I could only deduce that the series you may be talking about is Space Battleship Yamato.

Hope that helps, otherwise I don't think any other series I've heard of matches your description. Good Luck on your hunt, and I hope that I've found or at least brought you closer to your answer.
