    To the best of my recollection, Clavell doesn't depict warfare in any of his novels. That's simply not what they're about.

    As someone who has read the book twice and has seen the original miniseries probably 10 times over the past 30 years, I'm glad it ended the way it did. They did a really excellent job with the new miniseries, with my only quibble being that Blackthorne doesn't come across as inquisitive (or perhaps intelligent) as the character should be. But, maybe I'm wrong on this and I just need to do a rewatch.

    This show is a home run. Critically acclaimed and popular with viewers. It was a hit with me and some of my friends who have never played the games. Male and female. I look forward to season 2.

    Partially, yeah

    That's been in preview for two months, I think. Not sure if it was available to everyone with a sub, or just some of us. edit: read the article, was in beta for four months.

    I'm debating going to see this, or waiting for it to hit streaming. I'll watch it at some point, just a question of where.
  7. Duke Togo
    No thank you.

    It was only divisive because it was released unfinished and buggy with a lot of content cut. Obsidian was forced to rush it out the door by LucasArts and Microsoft. Thankfully, the cut content remained on the disc, and years later a fan project was able to fix many of the bugs and restore much of what was incomplete. The story itself is well-loved by the fans.

    They're not joking about that being a teaser. Barely a hint of things.

    Yeah, I chose not to post the Green trailer. Up with the Blacks, down with the Greens.

    Totally might not be. But I'm ok if it is.

    Oh, this is good news: apparently, The Acolyte was mostly shot "on location" and not in the Volume. They also are doing a lot of practical effects and puppet work.

    I don't really give a good gosh darn what was established in the prequels. And I'd rather Star Wars productions ignored them instead of embraced then. They want to retcon when Sith were last encountered, more power to them, I say. 👍

    This is a good read. I especially liked the show runner talking about the Jedi being at the height of their powers in this era, and that they'd only pull out their lightsabers if they were really threatened. And really, not much can truly threaten them in this time period. https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2024/03/the-acolyte-leslye-headland-opens-up-about-the-series-following-trailer-debut.html

    It's about time they moved away from the Skywalker era.

    Hot damn

    I thought MotA was uneven, but still fairly good. Better than The Pacific but not as good as Band of Brothers. Definitely felt like it needed a 10th episode so the story had more room to breathe.

    I did a little poking around on social media and, holy cow, is there a lot of bad information out there regarding this news.
  22. Duke Togo
    There's so much more information to come. I guess we'll need to wait and see what else comes out.

    The official Macross website says it will be on Star. We don't have Star in the US; that content generally ends up on Hulu. I mean, could it end up on Disney+ in the US? I suppose, but that's not their standard operating procedure.
  24. Duke Togo
    But it's not going to be directly on Disney+. It's going to be on Star (or probably Hulu in the US).
  25. Duke Togo
    I bring up Star (and Hulu, because I'm in the US) because Star was mentioned in the press release. I assume that's where Macross will reside, not directly on Disney+. Edit: Japanese Macross website says definitively it'll be on Star.
