    Season 6 trailer 2. Notice Davos, Ghost, and friendly members of the Watch defending Jon's body from his killers. Notice the Stark banner flying behind Davos on horseback. Notice the Mormont banners behind Davos as he talks about the war between the living and the dead. Notice Tormund Giantsbane leading the Wildlings into battle for the Starks against the Boltons. The so-called "Battle of the Bastards" may finally prove out the theory of "the Grand Northern Conspiracy." Also a shot of Brienne and Pod with Tully banners in the background, and the Freys at a feast. Edit: is that Lannister armor I see people wearing at the feast with the Freys? Edit 2: I assume the shot of Wun Wun breaking down the gates of Castle Black is part of the effort to liberate Jon's body from the Watch.

    I feel like we've seen all the good stuff in the last two trailers. They leave anything unseen for the movie?

    Touch screens? Nope, trackballs!

    Vader's position within the Empire is very vague in ANH. He can't overrule Tarkin (and Leia even has a quip to Tarkin about "holding Vader's leash"), but he seems to be able to do what he wants. I assume he answers only to the Emperor. Alderaan was indeed all Tarkin, though.

    I believe they're all mercenaries, so they have no real allegiance to the Rebel Alliance. That said, you know at least one of them is going to die. Because, drama.
  8. Duke Togo
    Wait, why are they all going to die? The mission is successful, obviously. You're thinking of the bothans who died getting the location of the new Death Star in Jedi.

    You shut your dirty mouth! It's a side story!

    First round of critics' screenings are over, and they're going apesh!t for this movie.
  11. Duke Togo
    Negativity? Huh?

    They've been making Gundam anime for almost 40 years. It's pretty much a cultural icon at this point. I'm not speaking to the quality of every production, but what's bigger than Gundam? It's like the Star Wars of anime. Full disclosure: I've never seen Gundam Note: this is OT and probably better left for discussion elsewhere. Maybe PMs.

    If not for the post here I would have never seen it. Nothing about it on /Film, FilmSchoolRejects, or TheForce.Net. Not one of my friends who are Star Wars fans mentioned it (which accounts for most of my friends). So, again, I say who cares?
  14. Duke Togo
    I find that hard to believe
  15. Duke Togo
    Who cares?
  16. Duke Togo
    And is the most popular anime of all time and known world wide. Just sayin'.
  17. Duke Togo
    Oh, the prequels. They aren't part of my head canon.
  18. Duke Togo
    It's still bizarre that TFU was canon for about 5 minutes.
  19. Duke Togo
    We don't serve your kind here.

    Everything I've heard about this movie is that is centers around a team, not any one person. It's an ensemble piece. I suspect the trailer was more of a marketing decision based upon the popularity of Rey than a accurate depiction of what happens in the movie. As far as leads go, whether it's a male or female doesn't matter to me. I just care that the movie is well done.
  21. Duke Togo
    In the movie, yeah. But the toys were AT-ATs. At ats!
  22. Duke Togo
    Sure, but they're not in balance. One can point out the humor in the space tuna scene, but they can't forget that shortly thereafter Minmay proposes that instead of facing starvation, they throw themselves out into space to commit suicide together. Not so "ha ha."

    Renato, to this I would reply everyone needs to go back and rewatch the first four or five episodes. For every instance of Roy being a lecher and "no smoking on the bridge," there are ten instances of deadly seriousness. And yes, I understand that relative to animes x,y, and z from that period it might be more lighthearted, but to pass it off as some idol show with mecha (not you) is grossly inaccurate. They tackle serious issues in Macross, and deal with the high cost of war on a regular basis.
  24. Duke Togo
    To which I would say doesn't everyone call them scout walkers?
  25. Duke Togo
    They're talking about the anime, which Kawamori worked on.
