    Yeah, we've been hinting/mentioning/basically writing their plot for them so they should really pay us this since they announced they sold off the live-action rights. It's very easy for them to take a rough outline of the Macross-portion of the series, strip out all the stuff that made it Macross and you have your generic "spaceship lands on Earth and humans exploit it then the aliens come back to claim their property"-plot. We've been saying this for years. If they want RT to survive, they need write out the Macross-y stuff (and bare necessities of Southern Cross and Mospeada), take the bare bones and start from scratch with their own IP. This movie is their way out. It's always been.

    Let me clarify. I wouldn't want to bring a personal laptop behind the Great Firewall of China unless I planned on reformatting it when I get back. Hence, I would use the company laptop and let the IT department deal with it when I get back.

    Nice. But I would have used the company laptop and have the IT department burn it when you come back.

    I see it as a failing of the current generation of artists employed by Disney (and "Hollywood" artists in general these days). Rogue One had the benefit of at least some Lucas-era Lucasfilm alum doing the designs. And it benefited by using old designs. These new movies have to milk the brain a lot more for me to like the designs. I equate the eras of Star Wars designs with real-life trends (like car design). The Prequels had a lot of curves and slowly progressed to an industrial design as we got to the OT. These days, cars have brought back the curves but stayed boxy. There's an aerodynamic quality to cars these days where they slope low in the front and higher in the back. I haven't seen that kind of design trend in these 2 movies. It's like in 20 years in Star Wars time, they haven't put much thought into design when they did between the Prequels and the OT.

    It's the same X-wing as in the last movie. Just has a booster attached.

    Just checking... There's no restriction to saying his name 3 times right? Cuz that's already 2 mentions.

    A Statement Regarding Star Wars: Episode IX J.J. ABRAMS TO WRITE AND DIRECT STAR WARS: EPISODE IX

    A Statement Regarding Star Wars: Episode IX Thankfully it's early, but did he actually want to be.... creative and not want to recycle McQuarrie designs????
  10. azrael
    Yet another Mcquarrie-look, which already showed up in Rebels. Is it so hard for this generation to be a little more imaginative? Kylo's TIE is literally Vader's TIE Advanced with Interceptor protrusions on the front.

    Try switching to Default. The update likely played with the site CSS...again.

    You're gonna love Season 8 then. Six (count 'em) 60-70 minute episodes. Coming in 2019. Speaking of leaks, post leaks here (for your uninterrupted spoilery and book loving goodness):

    Oh look, hovertanks. And wheels.

    I think that's how they described the walkers in this flick. They walk like chimps or gorillas.

    And god knows how long Apple and Samsung have been throwing litigation at each other, yet Apple still goes back to Samsung because Samsung has the built-up manufacturing capabilities that Apple needs. The kicker will come if Tatsunoko decides not to renew Mospeada or Southern Cross. Those 2 shows are free from any legal issues.
  17. azrael
    There is nothing stopping them from making a "Robotech" reboot. One free of Tatsunoko-owned properties.

    To be fair, HG doesn't have to mention BW's involvement that much as that would likely add fuel to Tatsunoko's fire. This filing relates more to the arbitration with a healthy dose of backstory to fill in the gaps of why HG is suing Tatsunoko (Thanks for all the juicy bits of info, HG). Does this sour the relationship between Tatsunoko and HG? Dunno. Depends. And 2021 is still a ways to go. Will Tatsunoko file their brief with the court? Dunno. We'll see. Did HG pay their share (if any) of the arbitration costs? If so, how much? Did Tatsunoko see that as repayment for defending their claim against Big West? Hence, in Tatsunoko's eyes, HG hasn't paid their share of the arbitration costs (legal fees, etc), if any. Has HG shared revenue from RT sales with Tatsunoko to compensate them for exploiting the license? If Tatsunoko can show they paid HG the costs of the arbitration and any other amount they owe HG, then that pulls the rug out from under HG's feet. Now, Tatsunoko could pay the fees, then come 2021, re-negotiate a licensing deal which favors them or they would end the current licensing deal. If we want to be petty.

    That's just trademarking Macross Delta in other countries.

    Columbia Pictures = Sony.

    Considering Hollywood's track record with anime->Live action, no. Please dear god, no.

    Anyone have of copy of this court filing? I feel like doing some light reading. It feels like Tatsunoko is trying to stick it to HG by not paying the arbitration costs so HG is throwing this lawsuit at Tatsunoko to make them pay. Which brings up something...if Tatsunoko still refuses to pay and lets the licensing lapse in 2021, then finally decides to pay, the licensing may fall back to Tatsunoko...There's a lot of jumping in there but I'm just wondering out loud.

    Jurassic Sims?

    Ah. So it's a "Where's my money?!"-case.
