Hey. Amanda was great in small doses. Elizabeth Gracen had amazing chemistry with Adrian Paul and it came through on the camera. Methos is also good in small doses, but I doubt he could've held an entire show on his own simply because the fun part about the character was guessing what you DIDN'T know about him. Highlander the TV series did much to redeem the franchise in terms of fanbase, but Endgame just didn't use all of its resources effectivly. Had they gone with some of the TV writers or used some of the plots from there, it could've been a much better animal.

Blegh. You're not the only one who sees that Guyver-ism in there, and that annoys the hell out of me. In fact, this whole "show" is an affront to G1 fans everywhere. It puts the final nail in the coffin of the "how Gundam-y can we make the Transformers?" issue. These designs are total crap, suffering from extreme munchkinism in that the designers decided to throw as much garbage as possible onto these machines. I muchly prefer the simple, clean elegance of the G1 designs.

I gotta admit, the Yoda CGI has come a long way from that small walk cycle in Episode I. It's looking better and better.

Smaller, but with much greater detail and "anime accuracy", if such a term could be applied to any Mospeada mecha.

Man.... I've been waiting for like 6 years for this damn movie and its soooo close I can taste it! But not quite close enough to see it... yet.

As far as Macross goes, Plus is what suckered me in. The rest of the franchise just doesn't stand up to the bar of excellence that Plus set. DYRL (especially), FB 2012, SDF, Mac 7 (shudder), all simply fail to live up to Plus in my mind.

Sounds like enemy soldiers in EVERY movie made to date

I like the way they over-dubbed Boba's lines in ESB with Temura Morrison. Very neat.

I like the idea of the Clone Troopers as the first batch of stormies, and then the subsequent Storm Troopers as being recruiter/conscripted. As an economical device if nothing else. Cloning, housing, and raising a complete human being, no matter how quickly they're matured simply can't be cheaper than recruiting a mostly-adult person anyway. And as Sundown pointed above, there's on-screen evidence that there are DIFFERENT stormtroopers in the films. That lends big creedance to the mixed group idea.

From the back of the box, naturally

Given how much control Lucas keeps over the books, novels, and comics, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. At the least, Lucas would probably keep an Executive Producer position.

Jerry Bruckheimer is also handling the Rifts movie, and I admit to a certain degree of anticipation for that. I especially wanna see how they handle all the various PAs of that world

Tell me about it. This is kind of crap is what allows people like Spike Lee to sue networks over a name. No, no. That's called, "ego".

It doesn't help that the movie studios and their lawyer lackies are suing the servers that run Torrent sites. That'll put a big crimp on BT sharing, if nothing else.

I really enjoyed walking it stomp around in Gerwalk mode. For better or for worse, that was pretty amusing all on its own

Anakin vs Dooku should be a blast to watch. It's gonna be great to see a Dark Side Anakin before he takes on the armour and helmet of Lord Vader. Of course, Vader himself with just rock so much more...

Heheh. Bunkard Sewer Disorder

Short, but oh-so-fantastic. I'm really with you on that short thing, but what we did get made MY jaw drop in the theaters. Then on VHS. Then on DVD. And now it continues to do so with my new home theater system Nothing in AOTC came close to the energy or aura that Duel of the Fates had. The actors were really tearing into each other in Obi-wan vs Maul. That's what I want to see in ROTS. EDIT: And this fight is reputed to clock in at 12 minutes or so, and it's being called the longest sword fight in in cinematic history.

Artoo always gets the shock. Poor droid just doesn't know when to duck. And I'm really interested in this Obi-Wan/Anikan duel. It honestly looks like it's going to put Duel of the Fates to shame as the greatest lightsaber fight on celluloid (or DV, in this case).

Those that don't actually reach the title of "Knight" are transferred to the Agricorps, Medicorps, or other ancillery groups that help the Jedi proper in some manner. And the Sith started off as a race. About 5,000 years before the Battle of Yavin (BBY for ease of reference) a group of dark-side using Jedi were thrown out of the Order and exiled from the then-small Galactic Republic. They eventually settled on a world called Korriban (I *think*, though I could be wrong) where they set up shop as the gods of the indiginous people, their Dark Side powers allowing them to easily enslave the Sith race. Thus the "Lords" of the Sith were born. It soon became just a title, with the Sith race eventually dying out completely. It wasn't until 4,000 years BBY that the Sith Empire first encountered the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order that had cast out their ancestors. The great irony is that over the course of that thousand years, each side had forgotten the other had existed, so it was something of a shock to come across other Force-Users for each group EDIT: (sigh, one of these days I will ginish a thought BEFORE I click the post button...) To give an example of the Galactic population, Coruscant has a population of 1 trillion sentient beings, plus or minus a few dozen million in transit at any given time.

Huh. All the research I found on the P-90 says the casings eject out the bottom of the gun and not into anyone's face. It also says that the weapon is completely ambidexterous MISB.

I gotta admit, I like the way Anakin wears The Glove . Much better than Glow-Stick-Boy the 2nd ever did.

Be thankful that you people get all the cool planes to begin with. Us Canuckleheads are stuck with a decades-old dream and that's it...

What's the general opinion on bullpup-style rifles, like FN's P-90? Good, bad, so-so?

I'd be all over that. An AGACs kit would rock just slightly more than a VHT kit would rock. Can definitly count me in on a 1/60th, fixed-mode or transformable. I'd take either. EDIT: Actually, 1/72 would be hideously small for a perfect transformable. If it had to be one scale or the other, I'd take 1/48th.
