STAR GUARDIANS: THE STAR
By Daniel Danitto
After being blasted across space and crashing into a peaceful planet like a meteor, a fallen celestial guardian must protect the world, even as it drains his power and the enemy that defeated him returns to finish the job.
SYNOPSIS:
At the dawn of time, the Universe created the Starfolk, radiant beings tasked with maintaining the balance between light and darkness. Among them is Sentinel Star, a young guardian defeated in battle by Black Hole, a dead star consumed by endless hunger.
Thrown across space, he crash-lands on the planet Dubnik, a living world where moisture slowly drains his power.
Discovered by Ar, a young Mossari seeking to prove himself through a heroic deed, along with his sister Ella and their grandfather Bor, the fallen guardian becomes their responsibility. Unaware of the scale of the threat, they choose to help him.
As Black Hole closes in, drawn by the same light it once lost, the group sets out on a dangerous journey to find the Purple Crystal, the only source capable of restoring Sentinel Star’s strength before it is too late.
As his power fades and time runs out, Sentinel Star must face a truth he was never meant to accept, not every darkness can be saved.

Unique concept and great artwork, Daniel Danitto! I suggest tightening up your logline. I also suggest telling what your protagonist's goal is (I'm guessing it's stop the ancient darkness).

Thanks, Maurice Vaughan ! That’s a great note. In The Star, the protagonist’s drive isn’t rooted in a personal desire but in his very nature, he exists to preserve the cosmic balance. His conflict comes from falling out of that order and rediscovering what light means when it’s almost gone.

You're welcome, Daniel Danitto.
"In The Star, the protagonist’s drive isn’t rooted in a personal desire but in his very nature, he exists to preserve the cosmic balance" I suggest mentioning that in your logline.
The inciting incident, his character, his goal to preserve the cosmic balance (or stop the ancient darkness to preserve the cosmic balance), and an ancient darkness threatens to consume him and the planet.
Also, I think "preserve the cosmic balance" is vague. I suggest explaining that some more.

Thanks again, Maurice Vaughan! That’s a solid note. I’ve reworked the logline to make the Star’s goal and inner conflict clearer. Really appreciate your time and insight.

You're welcome, Daniel Danitto. I think your logline is better. I think it could be tightened up some.
What about this: After a celestial guardian loses his light in battle and crash-lands on a distant world, he battles an ancient darkness to save the planet and reignite the light within himself.
