    Explain a movie series badly:

    A young boy gets abducted by a cult, to train him as a soldier. As an adult he tries to visit his mother, but she’s already killed, so he massacres the aliens who did this. He falls in love with a royalty, only for the cult to forbid this relationship. A fascist traitor of the cult cuts off one of his hands, gets a mechanical one and marries the royalty woman.

    Few years later, the man kills the fascist traitor. He gets a vision that tells him his wife will die of childbirth and the cult denies him a leadership position, so he joins the fascist leader behind the fascist traitor to try to save her, only to kill her instead (though the twins survive), after which his master in the cult amputates all his limbs and leaves him burning in hot magma. He gets saved by the fascists, builds out a massive fascist empire in the galaxy.
