    Disney+ Star Wars is pretty problematic in general because it's run by Filoni and staffed by creatives who are mainly fans of Filoni's work on The Clone Wars. Ahsoka is kind of its logical extreme... a Disney+ original series by Filoni with a story that is composed almost exclusively out of callbacks to previous Filoni Star Wars titles. The sheer density of the callbacks, in-jokes, and homages is a problem in and of itself but the main problem with the writing is that it's a "The Adventure Continues" story where all of the characters are past the end of their respective story arcs and there's no clear direction in which they can continue to grow and develop. The story feels thin and directionless because it's not being driven by the development of the characters. It's just sort of happening in their general vicinity, because it's actually an Excuse Plot meant to set up the return of fan favorite BBEG Grand Admiral Thrawn after he went down like a Scooby-Doo villain at the end of Rebels.🤣

    @M'Kyuun You might be right about the arms, if it happens the arms would be very little, especially for the fists.

    For me THE PITT is the ultimate in is less is more, this show could be like so many others with being an over the top dramatic mess. This series just cuts to the chase and remains a story about doctors in an ER setting, with a dash of humor from time to time to lighten the mood. I like how they borrowed from 24's concept, as in every episode is one hour of Dr. Robby's shift. P.S. I'm not a big medical drama show fan either, but this one works for me.

    That was basically inevitable, though. The Mandalorians are Star Wars's Klingons. A culture of Proud Warrior Race Guys dogmatically following the vaguely Social Darwinist warrior code laid down by their culture's founding father to its often-counterproductive or self-destructive conclusion and love to invoke variations of the No True Scotsman whenever someone deviates. We saw this invoked directly in season 2 itself in how Din reacts to Boba Fett. Din Djarin initially refuses to give Boba Fett his armor back because beskar belongs (only) to the Mandalorians and Boba's Not a Real Mandalorian because he never took the Creed. Fett only gets his armor back after convincing Din that it's his by right of familial inheritence, since his father was a foundling raised by Real Mandalorians. Din violates the Creed to rescue Grogu from the Empire. According to the rigid and inflexible warrior code his people follow, he is Not a Real Mandalorian. So of course he has to go on a quest to restore his honor and become a Real Mandalorian again, because the show's title is The Mandalorian not Technically a Mandalorian or That Guy Who Isn't a Real Mandalorian but Wears Mandalorian Armor. It's basically obligatory. It's basically the same as Worf's big story arc in Star Trek: the Next Generation. Worf loses his honor for the greater good, but as a result is Not a Real Klingon. He then has to live with the shame and the scorn of his people for a while before he has the opportunity to reclaim his honor and become a Real Klingon again. Leaving him permanently dishonored was literally never on the table to begin wtih.

    The ML Seeker would pose a little challenge, as the arms were a bit short and the hands were separate bits that had to be "partsformed". I love the transformation of the arms, though, and the only other Seeker toy to fold the arms into the F-15's spine was part of the Robot Masters line. albeit done much better. If Takara simply followed that toy's solution with a ML design, I think it'd work well. Honestly, I wish every Seeker toy followed that design, as well as more jetformers in general to reduce the number of jets with robot arms just hanging off their sides.

    What kit is this?
  10. Bolt
    I'm definitely interested! Especially in all ground service vehicles for hangars and aircraft! But i don't have a printer, so i would want to buy a printed one (or two) @ 1/72..
  11. Cheese3
    Also 1/72nd
  12. Thom
    It does look cool, but I'm just more interested in the aircraft.
  13. Thom
    @derex3592 Hah, for a moment I thought you'd made a cat-castle! (and probably so did the cat...) Glue and paint fumes coming soon! @Cheese3 That looks like a good group. I like the recon pod and wonder if it is piloted by a Zentradi who was 'freed' by Minmay's song and now expresses himself though art.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzion Some more information on the "Fuzion" system. The Wikipedia article at least suggests the "VOTOMS" RPG was published.

    Imai was definitely ahead of their time, but I do think that overall the Hasegawa is a great successor. The added detail on top of the cannons would be the only thing I don’t really like about the appearance but it doesn’t bug me too much. It is nice to see this after fourty years without a plastic kit

    welp....user error. Wasted about 30 dollars worth of resin because i didnt notice i hadnt filled enough resin into the tray. Everything wasted except a few small parts. The good news is , everything looks good to go. However id like a completed print before i sell this. Even though the model itself is good, i refuse to sell anything unless i have a successful print to show you guys. Next week is golden week so ill have lots of time . I havnt seen many responses to this post ....is anyone still interested in this?

    I don't know why I ended up Thinking the old Imai is somehow superior to the modern Iteration from Hasegawa. I do like the new added subtle details though. In my opinion Imai had the size closer to 1/72

    @Thom Cool! No dawdling over here either! Took longer than I thought but hey what doesn't in this hobby right?! 🤣 I can allllmost smell the glue fumes now!!! 😁 Time to flip this thing over and start filling up drawers!!!

    Filoni's work always comes off as fan fiction. I'm just glad he didn't get his hooks into Andor like he did The Mandalorian.
  22. Roy Focker
    The show was terrible because Filoni is a fanboy for his own stuff. It was all just fan service for him and the kids who grew up watching the cartoons. Whenever the show had a chance add some real meaningful drama he couldn't go through with it because he was too much of a fan.
  23. Roy Focker
    That has to be one of my biggest gripes about season 3. I thought the lesson of the previous seasons was that Mando needed to break away from that toxic cult. Then in season 3 it was like forget all that. Our marketing research shows that audiences responds well to baby Yoda and people dressed like Boba Fett saying "this is the way."
  24. Thom
    Having not watched Rebels, et al, I enjoyed watching Ahsoka and looking forward to more in season 2.

    Wasn't "Fuzion" the system used by R. Talsorian games, a derivative of the system they used in some editions of "MekTon" and "Cyberpunk"? I think they used it for the "Bubblegum Crisis" RPG...
