    She was known as Komillia Jenius in the japanese version of the Masters Saga.

    And in the prequel-less context, the impression is given that the pregnancy was hidden from him, the children born in hiding. Vader literally didn't know he had kids, in either case. It still seems ballsy to be running around with the Skywalker name. But that's what happens when you bolt character relations on after the fact. Things get a bit muddled.

    I think you might be missing some nuance here. It may, technically, by the dictionary definition be a choice, but no one involved considered it as such.

    According to Fleet of the Strongest Women, the protocol is "if you find a zentradi fleet out there, pick a fight with it and kill every last one of them". It was a bad policy in general, a worse policy for a colony fleet with a large civilian population, it went over like a lead balloon with the crew, and one can only hope the rules have changed since Basara's time.

    Those Regult-Raus are amazing, though.

    I kinda like the idea of the Power Rangers as bosses in Smash TV.

    Heck, why wouldn't Vader drop by the Lars homestead ANYWAYS at some point? "So, ummm, Owen... I've meant to ask this for a long time... you knew mom was sold into slavery, right? You ever consider doing the slightest to get her out of it? Yeah, I know, times were tight, yaddayadda... think I'm gonna burn this place to the ground. You don't mind, right? Cool, just lemme lock this door so you can die with your farm. I dunno if you got the memo, but I'm kinda evil. "

    Obvious objection: Princess Leia believed she could bluff Vader. She was not under the impression that they had been caught red-handed, hence the handoff was not in-system. Also, transmitted data doesn't just disappear. Vader would've captured BOTH ships, giving him two chances at extracting it from the system before someone had the good sense to delete the files. My impression is that Vader had a spy onboard. Princess Leia was suspected of being a supporter of the rebellion, and had likely been under discrete observation her for some time. The payoff was just bigger than expected, necessitating a rushed capture attempt with inadequate support. I guess we'll find out when the movie comes out and we get to see KYLE KATARN ON THE BIG SCREEN DISNEY I WILL BOYCOTT YOU FOREVER IF YOU WRITE HIM OUT. (hollower threats are seldom written)

    Because it's awesome.

    Not eventually. NOW. BG&E is fantastic... and if I can find my XBox controllers, I am going to start a replay now because of you.

    Hey, calm down! You can't undo things like that once you've done them! Let's not do anything we're going to regret for the rest of our lives here!

    They be trollin', that's all.

    Voltron has a very symmetrical outline, and it pulls him together. Very few Transformers combiners have that symmetry. I guess that's by design, since most of the classic combiner 'bots were designed to be swapped around between teams and between mount points. Everyone knows Hasbro only sells on eBay. Any Transformers you see in stores were mis-shipped.

    I had the green lion and yellow lion. And I loved them until the plastic parts broke. Yellow lion lost an ear, green lion's jaw fell off. But they were the only two I had.

    I had a Voltron. The little one with windup motor wheels so the lions would roll across the floor. My mom forced me to give him to my sister because she was throwing a fit and I "have enough Voltrons already". So I had to stand by while she broke or lost every part of the only complete Voltron I ever owned, to this day. But I'm not bitter, no sir!

    In fairness, Δ is WAY more subtle with it's referencing than Frontier was. In more fairness, a brick to the face is more subtle than Frontier's references. A brick laced with explosives.

    In honesty, as a grumpy adult, the biggest problem with a lot of combiners is the lack of any cohesive appearance. There may be a loose mold theme, but there's usually such a wild assortment of colors across the parts that it looks like the combined form was trapped in a paint factory explosion. Devastator, Predaking, and Computron all avoid this by applying a common color theme to all members of the team. Superion has a cohesive color scheme, but it's applied kinda lopsidedly. Also, I have no nostalgia for them as the only combiner I ever owned was Monstructor, and he's lame.

    Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Intermittently. Game is fun as hell when it isn't just boringly grindy. It'd actually been idle for quite some time when Bungie announced that they finally gave in to public demand and implemented Sparrow racing. It may go idle again soon now that Sparrow racing is gone again.

    I can cross my inner fingers, but... not like THAT. ALIEN ROBOT HAND, I TELL YOU!

    Ok, you know you'll be back when the UHD version comes out.

    A Robotech VF-1 loosely based on an animation error of a 1A with 3 lasers on the head. And I'd like it if it were true to the error instead of having an ugly hexagonal head replacing the less-ugly 1A head the error used.

    Also, Mikumo's fingers move WAY too far when she's doing the W hand sign. Which I'd ignore if anyone else did it, but by appearances no one else can. Which is suspicious when combined with the other circumstantial evidence.

    Wow, that IS impressive for the size!

    In what little fairness I offer to The Other Show, Harmony Gold's adaptation of Macross for US broadcast actually stays fairly true to the original(This is not a trend that holds for the other shows that make up the "epic saga" of Robotech, but this is MacrossWorld, not SouthernCrossWorld). The changes made to Macross are really fairly minor(ignoring the books, which are their own thing), and consist mostly of terminology variances and deleting Minmay's naked teenager butt(Cartoon Network would make more edits, but that's on CN, not HG). Though I never understood why they make "protoculture" into a fancy power source when it isn't what the english words mean and they're adding the Robotech Masters in a similar role to the one that Macross' protoculture would fill ANYWAYS. The most startling change comes at Macross' final moments, when Robotech becomes likely the only cartoon in history to be made MORE violent while adapted to US TV as they opt to kill of Global, Claudia, Kim, Shammy, and Vanessa.
