    The main Saga is the story of the Skywalker family. Outside of that I'm not sure what you're referring to, unless you mean some of the crappy EU stories out there.

    She has little to no memory of her early childhood. She doesn't even know who she's waiting for to come back.

    I love how JJ calls AT-ATs "at ats" and not "a-t a-ts." See, it's not just me!

    This has nothing to do with Rey's parents. Where did you get that idea from?

    Episode 1 of Season 6 is titled "The Red Woman."

    Macross hasn't been doing this stuff for decades, and no matter how many times you repeat it isn't going to make it true. I've seen every Macross production atleast twice (including 7, which I actually have on DVD), and I've been following this franchise since the beginning. I KNOW what this franchise is and how it has evolved, and I know what it is not. Despite the callbacks (which they did in Frontier, did we need to do them again?), Delta does not feel like Macross, and I have a very hard time suspending my disbelief with a lot of what I see. That is their failure, not mine. You don't care about these issues and you like it, and that's fine. But don't try to tell me I am wrong by twisting facets of the franchise to fit your view, and then go on to totally ignore and misrepresent what people are saying to make your convoluted argument. Anyway, I am done here. See you next episode.

    Totally forgot that. Even you mentioning it doesn't refresh my memory. But yeah, there ya go. I want know what happens to the Windermere pilots during a cockpit breach in space. If they show one of them dying horribly when that happens and I'll totally give them credit for it.

    And we don't know what training she had as a child. They show us early on in the movie that she can handle herself quite well.

    Oh, now, don't you start!

    Thank you, Frothy.

    Yes, it is. He's not in a Valkyrie and he's not flying. I've already countered this argument, but I will again just for you. In Plus they went out of their way to show the effect of inirtia and g-forces on the pilots. It's the most realistic flying in the entire franchise. You have watched it, right? In Frontier the pilots are hooked into their cockpits through their ex-gear, but we regularly see them rocked around in it when acted upon by an external force. Uh. I never said anything about a sealed flight suit with helmet. And you show me a picture of Max with his helmet and atmospheric flight suit on, a picture of Isamu in his flight suit sans helmet because the visor got cracked, and a picture Brera in his virtual cockpit or whatever it is. The first two completely blow your argument, and the third proves my point about how ridiculous it is. The Windermere pilots aren't wearing ex-gear or helmets. Way to totally misrepresent what I said. I'm not even going to respond to this because you chose to ignore the point I was making. I said "fleet," not fighters. Have you actually read anything I've said at all? They took out the GARRISON FLEET of the planet, yet somehow four Valks with girls riding them were able to fend them off. It's totally unbelievable, and you don't see anyone else move like he does. You've never seen anyone else move like that in Macross. Unless you want me to believe he's the greatest pilot who's ever lived, yet somehow he's been regulated to menial jobs running labor mecha. Is he Luke Skywalker? I'm not sure if your reading comprehension is really poor, or you are intentionally trying to antagonize me by ignoring or misrepresenting everything I say. Either way I am moving on from this discussion with you, because I am not going to get in a fight over a cartoon.

    That's definitely not Vader in the cloak. Imperial Guards. Is that a bacta tank?
  14. Duke Togo
    Outside of the possibility of a Vader appearance, they've been pretty adamant about the fact that these people are operating in a world without Jedi. They have to do this on their own.
  15. Duke Togo
    Except when a Valk gets shot, suffers a collision, or is otherwise acted upon by an outside force, then we see a reaction shot inside the cockpit of the pilot getting rocked around. So, the girls riding around on the Valks have portable inertial dampeners? Does everyone have those? That would radically change life in 2067.
  16. Duke Togo
    She's spot on. It's uncanny.

    What's not plausible? A guy dancing around in a labor mecha as if it was weightless. Magical girls riding Valkyries as if inertia and g-forces didn't exist. Said girls also have a shielding technology that they can move on command, yet no one else outside of this special unit seems to have this tech. A single squadron of fighters taking out a planetary defense fleet, yet they are unable to dispatch four Valkyries on the planet's surface. Also, said fighters' pilots flying with no suits or helmets on, and without harnesses to keep them secure in their cockpits. Again, inertia and gravity seem to be completely disregarded. And to top it off, dancing mecha guy gets in a downed Valkyrie and all of a sudden he's moving it around like he's Neo. Did I miss anything?

    While there is stuff I liked in the teaser trailer (Yavin! Mon Mothma! Nostalgia!) it underwhelmed me the way the first TFA teaser did. And I get they're playing up the "Rey" angle here, but it's an ensemble story. I wish we had seen them together as a team. Also, no shots of the rumored "Rogue 1" ship.
  20. Duke Togo
    I don't know why people think he's coming back as an Other or a Wight.
  21. Duke Togo
    Just because you guys keep repeating this isn't going to make it true. The holographic costume changes we've seen before in Macross were natural and realistic. What we see in Delta is straight up magical girl transformation. They are definitely NOT the same. This is the problem with the first episode of Delta: so much in it is not plausible. It's outside of my ability to suspend my disbelief. It's not grounded at all. Frontier largely avoided this problem (with a few notable exceptions).
  22. Duke Togo
    I expected them to hold this to be shown before Civil War. Kinda surprised they dropped it early.
  23. Duke Togo
    The full episode wasn't horrible, but there is just so much that happens that just doesn't make sense. And, of course, the totally out of place magic girl stuff. I'm not sure I can stick through an entire season of this.

    Clone Wars had some trouble spots, but it also had some truly great storylines--especially when they focused on the clones. Rebels just feels mediocre across the board.
