Exactly.... Huh?

And unfortunately, with Sifo Dyas dead, you will never know why he ordered the clones. I prefer the Lucas explaination. First he's fighting an old man (who's last saber fight was 20 years ago). Then he's fighting a kid (who just got a lightsaber). Luke doesn't have the experience that Obi-Wan had. Obi-wan still has the skill but he doesn't have the stamina he had 20 years ago. He can't do a long fight like when he faced Anakin-Vader the last time (ep. 3).

Weren't they watch pro-EA stuff?

Because it serves the storyboards?

Wasn't that same image posted like in page 25? I think some one said that a clone would necessary have the same potential in the force and it was better to have an already pissed Anakin... something like that, dunno. Actually, didn't we talk about that a few pages back? I think that was the reason for not cloning him. You have crispy Anakin with lots of rage. If Palpatine cloned him, then he would have to start from scratch. With his wife dead by his hands, his best friend/mentor leaving him to roast in his own juices, etc.... Sidious won't need to do too much. Just feed that fire.

Actually, it's cuz I'm typing as your hitting the post button. Yes. Because no one has posted the screencaps when I read the post. Pointing out the answer is one thing. Making the person look at it themselves adds a whole new layer of understanding. Hopefully, then, the person will start looking for more little details.

Just backin you up with some facts my boy, in case people forgot that the YF-21/VF-22 carries 2 gunpods. Guld lost his gunpod, then he pulled out his other gunpod.

Perhaps they called for backup. After 2 attempts to get AFOS failed, you would think they called for backup. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_...yf21/index.html Well, if Isamu ran out of ammo after only using 1 magazine, then obviously, he wasn't carrying spare magazines and could, therefore, hold the gunpod beneath the shield. Watch it in slow-motion. The gunpod is there.

Dont' know about it. The running gag is Athrun always seems to have a red MS. He also always self-destructs that red MS. What color is Saviour? If there's gonna be a new Justice Gundam, what will happen to Saviour?

ZAFT is waging a defensive war. They are protecting their areas of interest while letting EA go on the offensive. If Meer is exposed as a fake, then ZAFT pushes itself into a very lonely corner and mistrust builds very quickly.

Watch it frame by frame, you see the legs drop for an instance then go back up. A VF-0/VF-1's legs don't need to drop all the way down to deploy the arms.

Destiny is a sequel to SEED. Think of it as what Zeta was to MSG. The sad part is, Athrun is somewhat justified. They don't know all the details. No one does. The evidence is circumstancial evidence. The people who attacked Lacus were Coordinators. Their MSs were ZAFT MSs. All residents were to be killed with Lacus. That's just too damn hard to ignore. It puts a lot of weight that the good chairman is the culprit. If it isn't him, then who? Meer, the obsessed fan girl? (It could be Meer for all we know). Until we (even the audience is in the dark) figure out what is going on, all we can do is speculate.

Hey, someone has to test those self-destruct devices. Oh fine. ZGMF-14A Sazabi Gundam/CHAR.

Best just to wait.... Sazabi MK-II just a feeling. No no no. Sazabi Mk II would mean there was a Sazabi I in SEED. It would have to Sazabi, Ignited.

That's one heck of a Gundam tree. Well, here's to blowin up Saviour.... *raises glass* Prove me wrong. Best just to wait.... Well Crueset was a red shirt at one point... Now the question is...what was Rau talking to Gilbert about when Rey was handed over to Gilbert's care? And why does the scenery look like the Mendel colony labs? Hummmm....

Claudia Black (another Farscape cast member) is also coming on SG-1, except not as a main character. She'll be making a few guest appearences in the 9th season. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news04/041218b.php

Great....the running gag with Athrun's MSs has made it's way here....

Animators make boo-boos all the time...meh.

(link)Okay, it's not definitive, but the implication is that SWAG is only used in battroid. But even if that's the case, some or all later Valks could be made of super-tough advanced materials. The implication there, as I see it is, it can be used in Fighter mode but the standard is to use it in Battroid mode. Of course, we can sit here and analyze the sentence all day...

Actually, every VF, starting with the VF-0 on, has it.

We don't know. From your own post...

Electric armor definitely isn't the same as what I'm suggesting for SWAG. I'm saying that that SWAG uses energy to strengthen the molecular bonds in the armor, thus increasing its resistance to penetration and deformation. Electric armor by contrast disrupts the jet of a shaped-charge weapon by zapping it with an electrical charge. While I could be wrong, it's commonly asserted that SWAG is why Valkyries are able to smash through buildings without being damaged. The description of SWAG which I'm advancing is consistent with this; electric armor isn't. I left it out of my earlier post since it didn't fit into the context of my post. One could say that SWAG is a Macross-version of electric armor (and yes I am well aware of the real-world function of electric armor). Although, it's function is quite different from the real-world implementation, the term "electric armor" is a little more appropriate than "energy shield" (You could call it "electrified armor" because it does run a electric current through the armor to strengthen it, and it is sorta is a better term, but then that might imply other things which SWAG ain't).

I have to agree with FV on this point. ... Ditto. Based on the scanty information, I envision SWAG as a method of using energy to boost the strength of the molecular bonds in the armor, thus increasing its resistance to damage. FV's point is correct but energy is not converted into armor, per se. The start of the sentence doesn't quite help the end of the sentence. It strengthens the bonds of the existing armor not become armor. This is why a VF is like a tank, but without the weight problems. If a VF was covered in tank armor, it would have a hell of a time getting off the ground. But it has to be armored like a tank but light enough to get off the ground. Energy shielding wasn't quite realized at that time. And fighter-size PPB systems weren't developed until late 2030s/2040, so it's not quite energy shielding. So it's somewhere in between which would be electric armor. SWAG probably works great against small arms and RPGs/shaped charge explosives, but when we get to using anti-armor, anti-air missiles, etc, then we have a problem. When we get to beam weapons, then we need energy shielding. edit: grammar.

I think that term can easily be mistaken in this case. It's not wrong technically, but can be easily mistaken for energy shielding ala Star Trek/Star Wars. A better term would be electric armor (and there is such a thing as electric armor, Google it to read up on it).

Unfortunately, S-Freedom is listed under "Other" at the moment. Also the insription on S-Freedom's forehead is "Liberta Modifica". No X-number. So it might not be ZAFT or EA who builds S-Freedom. Rumor has it, Shinn will pick a fight with Strike Rouge and shot it down (maybe not killing Cagalli but forcing an issue). But that's just a rumor. Episode 29 feels like a informative clip show. Kinda explaining some of the side notes that were never covered (like Rey, maybe that weird phenomenon called "Newtypes" in the CE world, etc...).
