Why? Because the lizards, scorpions and pterodactyls you’re fighting – and that aren’t exactly canon – are so damn cute, that’s why. As is cute little ’80s anime Luke, cute little ’80s anime Han Solo (and his GIANT EYEBROWS) and, best of all, a handy galactic map that I’m sure many of you are already hastily pointing out is totally WRONG.
The complete manual to this game, never released outside Japan, can be viewed at the Video Game Den (via Fuck Yeah Famicom).

I’m curious as to what they are.

“Isukaron”, “Tina”, Yavin, Tatooine, “Kesseru”. The middle is Death star (Desusutaa!). I’m not a big enough star-wars walking-dictionary to know what “Isukaron” and “Kesseru” should approximate to – “Iscalon” and “Kessel”?
And man alive, Han looks like Amuro Ray, but more manlier.
