Needa was the captain that was choaked for letting the Falcon get past the fleet. Admiral Piat was the guy in both Empire and Jedi.....and also Firefox for those who give a poo! He replaced Admiral Ossle. (In best Milhouse voice) "I AM a nerd!" Chris

Wow Coby! Looks great!!! Been following at the RPF. Are you gonna make larger versions for sale? As for Galactica news, this was posted at Galactica.tv: While gateworld.com did not know for sure whether BSG would also premiere on July 15, SCI FI has just recently announced on their Galactica board that Season 2 of the reimaged series will indeed premiere on July 15 as well at 10 p.m. EST. All the BSG cast members will be back, including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Jamie Bamber. James Callis and Katee Sackhoff. In addition, two new Cylon models will be featured in the second season, with the actors as yet to be disclosed by SCI FI. Stay tuned for more BSG developments. Chris

Which raises the question....did Palpatine or his master create Anakin? He had no father. Plageous (sp) could make life out of nothing. Who's to say Anakin wasn't created just to become Vader? The emergency landing on Tat - accelerates already laid plans. Anakin's mother dying - Anger blah blah blah. There was nothing stopping Anakin's best friend and advisor from going to get her outside of the Jedi rules. Maul dying - clearly Dooku was already making his move to become Sidous' new apprentice. Was needed. Eh? In the visual dictionary, it says that the Sith apprentices are easily replaceable to Sidious...a fact that Dooku and Maul failed to raealize. Sidious already had his "perfect" apprentice in mind aka Anakin. Question is when...After the Battle of Naboo or a short time after...."I'll be watching your Career with great intrest" or was it earlier as some have suggested. It also says that the Mechano Vader is far from the perfect Sith Lord that Palpatine wanted. Chris

This is a quote from the Revenge of the Sith Visual Dictionary, in regards to Sifo Dyas.: "Dooku's turn to the Dark side began with the murder of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, his former friend and confidant in the Order. Assuming control of the plans Sifo-Dyas had set in motion to create a clone army for the Republic, Dooku saw to it that all mention of the planet Kamino was erased from Jedi Archives." Still doesn't explain WHY Sifo-Dyas did it in the first place. Possibly a plan from Sidious to get Dooku to turn to the Dark side by murdering his friend who thought he would be the Sith apprentice.

I would tend to agree....but I know how important it can be for the ship to be "like you remember it" Memories!! ... then I was a happy modeler nowadays sometimes I'm so into details that I cannot enjoy the hobby... Man.....that speaks volumes! I totally know where you are comming from. Chris

I agree, Fine Molds would be incredable!!! Personlly I always thought the Original stripes were Orange as well. A side note, I don't think the pilots are to scale with the Viper. I think they are much to SMALL. the scale of the Viper is near 1/48. Damn those things are small! I base this on pictures of how large the pilot/actor looks when sitting in the cockpit and on the lenght given for the 1/48 MKII model that Jesse pointed out to us. It's only 7.5 inches long!!! the Hasegawa 1/72 VF-1 is longer than that!!! The Joy Ride MKI viper is almost 7 inches I think, can't remember exactly. Chris

The 1/24 scale one is around $230 shipped. I was suprised my wife let me get one !!! Yeah birthday!!!!!!! Chris

Frank just sent me an email saying that my 1/24 Viper will ship no later then April 15 without a pilot. I know he said that there would be a pilot in his update email but then he sent me my email stating otherwise. Don't know if he's planning on sending the pilot later....he takes a bit of time to respond to emails. Chris

Thought I responded to this...sorry... There is a 1/24 and 1/48 MKII Viper due out any day now. (resin Garage) A 1/72 MkII is also coming soon. All of these have pictures of complete patterns (or nearly so) and are not vaporware. There are also early shots of a 1/24 Raider... I have not seen any toys yet...(hopefully yet! ) Jesse, do you have any pictures or links to these kits? I recently ordered a custom studio scale garage kit from someone over at Replica prop forums. Along with your studio scale kit . Are you refering to that kit....I believe the makers name is Frank. Chris

Is that confirmed!? Hasegawa IS making a VF-11!!!!! or are we still just hoping. Chris

Will this have his current work or is this the older ones he did for the calender? Either way I'm getting it, just curious if it'll have M0 stuff also. Chris

Yup,and in that same interview he also said that he "could" pull it back a little to get the lower rating, but he doesn't want to. Chris

He never said he was excited by that seen, child porn is not just sex, it is nudity of a minor also. Chris

Totally agree, once you become a parent your perspective changes. The one on the left looks like he had his arm cut off. Chris

Very nice Cobywan. Have you seen the Zoic renders and other fan works at Galactica.tv? Chris

I know, I can't wait! These last two episodes are supposed to ROCK!!! Chris

....Trying not to look....but...can't....resist.....! Can't totally make out a few of those pictures... did OB-1 cut of his legs? Chris

Shivers....... ...........daaaaaaaaamn! Chris

Saturday they'll show all five episodes back to back at 8:00 pm EST. Check local listings to be sure though. Chris Ahh, Yes. Thanks for the good news. I hope it pans out. For the other member that asked, I believe this is actually considered "Season II." I also like the longer format and thought that last season was excellent and, IMHO, wish that Eps I & II were animated like Clone Wars - Season I. Few things about this Season: 1) If you're worried about spoilers and are dodging the spoiler thread here at MW, I'd maybe hold-off on watching this. It's only been 2 episodes there's already been many examples of what has been seen in that thread. Granted the Trailers have shown everyone stuff too, but some people don't even watch those. 2) Addition of more one-liners from the OT are great. 3) But there also is more "sillyness" which I'm not too sure if I'm agreeing with yet. The last season was more dramatic/militaristic and this appeared to be more of that greatness, but then the silly voices/actions started to appear. Definitely will not keep me from religiously watching the series, but just had hoped for the same ol' serious stuff I guess. That being said, can't wait for tonight!!! I totally agree about the silliness comment. Particularly the 3PO moment! Yikes! Chris P.S. The Clone Wars DVD rocks! The bridging the gap documentary is pretty darn sweet. It has some new footage of the Ep. III of the space battle at the end of the docu. Also the Game trailers and the teaser trailer to Ep III!

That's a great idea! Chris

The number six in Baltars head/ Shelly Godfrey is deffinately a conundrum. As some else stated, possibly True Blue eyes, maybe she was some sort of hologram/holusination(spelling). We never did find out what the Cylon devise was in the Mini-series, perhaps it has something to do with it. There have got to be millions of places that those things could be hidden on a ship the size of Galactica, no matter how hard you look! Still doesn't explain the glasses though. Chris

Yeah, it's people like her....and that fat Sagitaron from the last episode, that make you understand why the Cylons want to wipe out humanity! Chris

Congrats Jesse! Looks outstanding! I'm also interested in one, I'll send you an Email to the address you have listed above! Chris

Actually, there are 12 modles and we've only seen 4 so far. I don't mind number six that much kinda like when she shows up in his head....what annoys me is the damn music EVERY TIME she shows up, and I like the music in the show too! It's just that peice is a little over used. If anyone has seen the most recent TV Guide they have a few spoilers in the article about BSG, one written and one in a picture. The picture one is worse for me, I was like WHAT THE F**K!!!!! BEWARE! Chris
