Yes, I understand that, but the films trump everything else--including the contradictions in the Clone Wars. In a way TCW is already somewhat non-canon. -
Clone Wars may or may not be canon. It contradicts the prequels at certain points, and the films trump everything.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt. The EU has not been "film canon" in a long, long time--if ever. I have been conscious of this fact since atleast the mid 90s. This really is much ado about nothing. Considering how much of it comes off as little more than poor fanfiction (and it's a whole hell of a lot more of it than some people are willing to admit), this is no great loss. Even though it's really not a loss, since it wasn't canon to begin with.

Hamill, Ford, and Fisher are all confirmed to be in London. The start of principle photography on Episode VII is very close! Interesting tidbit: Hamill is sporting facial hair.

Some, not all. Shadows of the Empire once was, but hasn't been a long time.

I would!

March got it right--most of this stuff is crap. And really, I'm not sure how any "fan" made it to 2014 without knowing the EU stuff has always existed outside of the official movie canon. This is good news: they're bringing order to chaos. Of course, all of the old EU stuff still exists; it's not like it's being recalled for destruction. If you want to go back and read all the books and whatnot, you're still free to. It was never canon to begin with, and in the grand scheme of things, it's all fantasy anyway. I've never heard anyone bitch about what telling of the Arthur legend was canon. Just saying.

I think you missed the joke, R1. -

This would be a must-see movie if they cast Glenn Danzig as one of The Misfits. -
That was a part of an EU storyline many moons ago.

If there was a fanedit that cut out everything but the combat scenes, then I would give it another go.

I'm kinda shocked to see this here. Haven't seen this in ages, and I need to fix that.
-
I think it's dull as hell, and I don't like the magic powers mumbo jumbo. Or the retcon. I really don't like retcons...

That's awesome

Not feeling that clip. But it's only a clip.

Who?

Wait, there's a new Macross show?

I'd say not loving Gunbuster is un-American.

Transcendence Transcendence - Johnny Depp Sci-Fi Movie
Duke Togo replied to MILKAUTICO's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I pretty much figured all of this out watching the trailer. And Johnny Depp is pretty much the kiss of death to any movie he is in these days. He hasn't put forth a good performance in a good movie in years. Probably a decade. -
It's kinda turned into one of those Robotech threads. There really isn't anything to talk about until some real news comes out. They might be better off just locking it down for the time being.

I have a very specific view of what old-school Macross is like. I've been watching all flavors of anime for 30+ years, and I don't lean in any specific direction.
-
I know A1 well enough to know he's not being bigoted. This is definitely not the place for this discussion, but I am pretty sure what he is referring to is an overall lack of strength (read: manliness) in M7. The Gar is not strong with it (not that Macross ever really is, outside of Guld). We're old-school fans who want that old-school flavor. And please, the M7 wars took place a very long time ago on these forums, and we're way past that. If it's brought up its more tongue-in-cheek if anything. Nothing to see here folks; move along.
