As far as old Macross illustration poses (and Takani san) .. Here's a few .. He did all( i believe) of the Macross Imai box art , amongst many other works. If there was a full book of all his works, ( he's been at it since the 50's!!) it would be a massive and awesome coffee table book! In Tenjin's second sortie book. There's an interview with Tenjin interviewing Takani.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Bolt replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I'd say the later. -
Oh yes, that is it. Thanks. For its time, it was a great toy. This new Sentinel looks sweet. Looking forward to seeing more on it.

The toy looks awesome. I hope those hinges are sturdy too. No one's gonna really know until they fork out the dough and handle it. I had the green Legios from the 80's (Aoshima?) it was pretty burly. Especially with my clumsy kid hands it could take a beating .
-
That is very cool.

Saw this a few weeks ago. I loved it. The ending was an awesome unwind from all the build up throughout the movie. I love how Tarantino has taken it upon himself to rewrite history here, as he did with Inglorious Bastards.

Very cool

Beautiful! Amazing!

There was an old oversized artfolder with many of this work and a few others , each one was an individual print . I must have bought it in the late 80's..

Wasn't impressed by the old live action AB. It was..ok. Hopefully this one is better.

@vlenhoff good questions. The answer is basically this. When Yoshiuki Takani san was commissioned to do these works he had some mechanical designs but no story. The series was in production and he didn't know how these mechs were truly intended to be portrayed. The same goes for the characters, there wasn't a minmei yet or clarity on Hikaru's design. At least not to him. He was probably given a rough, early story board for that image, or it was simply verbal..These were early promotions for the series and toys, remember this one? Same artist. Same story. No one told him What gerwalk was supposed to look like. The speaker pod cast crew discussed much of this years ago ..

Still in production..

Agreed. The kyber crystal ritual wasn't necessary information. And , I believe Jedi, like Mace Windu did not receive his purple crystal in that way. t's not the only way a jedi could come into possession of a kyber and adopt it..

Remember Macross is not Gundam
-
This looks cool. Does remind me of something else I've seen , years ago. So what am i looking at here? Is this where the pilot gets inside? What scale is this model?
-
I just don't see Bandai coming even close to producing 1/48 variants like what Yamato did . I would be delighted if they did as this may also include beneficial tweeks to the design.

Again, about the color of your lightsaber. Any would be padwan who's being trained is going through a lot of inner self training. I know that's a given , but jedi are taught to learn who they are and accept themselves. The same is true with their saber color. And, presumably, their lightsaber color would resonate with them. There's no wrong color. To want a different color might have more to do with vanity . Or a lack of understanding about how you move or where your place is in the force. And yes, there are many examples of Jedi using different color sabers. (Luke goes from using blue to green), it makes sense that a Jedi changes saber colors as they themselves go thru radical changes. Some never change lightsaber colors. Some do. It's life. You're pretty much quoting Han Solo from ANH. Oy vey.. there's still not a satisfactory reason why..
-
Yes , yes it's true. Every time my dodge ram transforms the paint rubs off the back of the cab, where it rubs against the bed..
-
Ah yes , pre Tenjin. Yoshiuki Takani san. Some of my first Macross visuals
-
I just realized this story is based on the Demon bear arc. By Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewickz. I didn't really see any of the signs in the trailer. And no Warlock.. now I'm more curious, but I don't do horror flicks..

There was also the "flow-walk" force power in the EU. Darth Solo used. As well as at least one instance of Luke being in the same room as Darth Cadeus and then vanishing and being gone. This disturbed Jacen so much because he actually belived Luke had been there. And had even felt his presence so close. As far as lightsaber colors. It makes sense that different crystals emanate different energies and therefore may be drawn to by different personality types.
