  1. Saw this a few weeks ago. I loved it. The ending was an awesome unwind from all the build up throughout the movie. I love how Tarantino has taken it upon himself to rewrite history here, as he did with Inglorious Bastards.
  2. Beautiful! Amazing!

    There was an old oversized artfolder with many of this work and a few others , each one was an individual print . I must have bought it in the late 80's..
  4. Wasn't impressed by the old live action AB. It was..ok. Hopefully this one is better.

    @vlenhoff good questions. The answer is basically this. When Yoshiuki Takani san was commissioned to do these works he had some mechanical designs but no story. The series was in production and he didn't know how these mechs were truly intended to be portrayed. The same goes for the characters, there wasn't a minmei yet or clarity on Hikaru's design. At least not to him. He was probably given a rough, early story board for that image, or it was simply verbal..These were early promotions for the series and toys, remember this one? Same artist. Same story. No one told him What gerwalk was supposed to look like. The speaker pod cast crew discussed much of this years ago ..

  7. Agreed. The kyber crystal ritual wasn't necessary information. And , I believe Jedi, like Mace Windu did not receive his purple crystal in that way. t's not the only way a jedi could come into possession of a kyber and adopt it..
  8. Remember Macross is not Gundam
  9. This looks cool. Does remind me of something else I've seen , years ago. So what am i looking at here? Is this where the pilot gets inside? What scale is this model?
  10. I just don't see Bandai coming even close to producing 1/48 variants like what Yamato did . I would be delighted if they did as this may also include beneficial tweeks to the design.
  11. Again, about the color of your lightsaber. Any would be padwan who's being trained is going through a lot of inner self training. I know that's a given , but jedi are taught to learn who they are and accept themselves. The same is true with their saber color. And, presumably, their lightsaber color would resonate with them. There's no wrong color. To want a different color might have more to do with vanity . Or a lack of understanding about how you move or where your place is in the force. And yes, there are many examples of Jedi using different color sabers. (Luke goes from using blue to green), it makes sense that a Jedi changes saber colors as they themselves go thru radical changes. Some never change lightsaber colors. Some do. It's life. You're pretty much quoting Han Solo from ANH. Oy vey.. there's still not a satisfactory reason why..
  12. Yes , yes it's true. Every time my dodge ram transforms the paint rubs off the back of the cab, where it rubs against the bed..

    Ah yes , pre Tenjin. Yoshiuki Takani san. Some of my first Macross visuals
  14. I just realized this story is based on the Demon bear arc. By Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewickz. I didn't really see any of the signs in the trailer. And no Warlock.. now I'm more curious, but I don't do horror flicks..
  15. There was also the "flow-walk" force power in the EU. Darth Solo used. As well as at least one instance of Luke being in the same room as Darth Cadeus and then vanishing and being gone. This disturbed Jacen so much because he actually belived Luke had been there. And had even felt his presence so close. As far as lightsaber colors. It makes sense that different crystals emanate different energies and therefore may be drawn to by different personality types.
  16. I had caught wind of that too. So Land's behavior wasn't out of place for me. As far as these new force powers we've seen, one cool thing about KOTOR and the EU is the many different force powers, lightsaber colors and techniques that have been explored. Even a hint of different approaches to the force have been adopted in the past movies.
  17. Thanks amigo ya , using a clear eye with an led would be the best. The rear thrusters on the main fuselage are glued to a detailed piece that would cover a battery compartment and allow to drill straight through to the eye. But I wasn't feeling nearly ambitious enough to bore that space out enough to hold a 9v and drill through. Figuring out how to make the rear thruster plate attachable and detachable would be the easy part, but still take some doing..
  18. you're so kind! when i take the subway to Venus , dragging a wagon full of Macross models, you can have what doesn't fit
  19. Mmm. So you're saying many well lit display cabinets are possibly coffins?
  20. The KOR are a huge plot hole in the movies. If they had been edited out, we wouldn't know or care. They didn't affect the movies one iota. But because they're there and mentioned multiple times. We are forced to wonder wtf..
  21. Very well done If only Diznit could do this..
  22. Ya . Well..so they've coined a term for the post KOTOR era. More like carved out a niche from the later half, as KOTOR went back from something like 10,000 years before the battle of Yavin(ANH) to 100. Now they've decided 400 years BBY is "the high republic". A relatively peaceful time, so many Jedi went on the hippy trail and got high. This may be the time when yoda first got Bob Dylan high... So does Rian J still have a job? Yes Diznit owns KOTOR, but they wanna carve up the pie..
  23. Um.. the long lasting cultural impacts of the Macross VF-1... i think..
