Has it been stated that this will be live action TV? Everyone is assuming it will be, but perhaps it will be animation/Anime. Didn't Lucas just start up or is starting up an animation studio in Hong Kong? If so, it really leaves the door open to pick up where Jedi left off and possibly have the original cast or at least most of them to just do the voices. That way the characters won't look too old. Just a thought. Chris

Do you guys know if themusic played in part 1 when Shin wakes up on the island is on this release. I'm pretty sure it came from the Count of Monte Cristo...the verry begining when they are rowin to shore, much the same way the Klendathu theme was also used. Chris

Like the "Blue Angels" colours? That was awesome Yeah, that ws the thread! Chris

I'll probably just start a new thread and post some pics of the Roy 0S with it, I'm really happy with that one as well. It'll take a few days before I get around to it though due to work. Chris

Me too. Doing a custom 1A with the bunny and then the Low-Vis Skull on the VF-0B. Just Finished my VF-0S and finally that custom SV-51 I was working on a few months ago...I know you where one of the people who appreciated that one! Chris

Well, I could be the one in the minority I'm not a big fan of pink on Planes I remember in some thread a while ago, people were photo-shopping The Sv-51 using different color variations of Nora's scheme. Some of those where pretty darn sweet!! Chris

My opinion is that hasegawa hurt their own sales for the SV-51 by releasing the Nora version first. I don't think many people are too crazy about that color scheme. Don't know if the Nora kit bombed or not but I got the kit and made it with a custom paint job. They should've released DD's version first then released Nora/standard version together. Just my opinion though. Chris

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the original series is on DVD. However the 2003 mini series hasnt been released yet for us R1ers. I really don't understand why....not only does the rest of the world have it on DVD but the Sky network in the UK is getting the series in Oct. the US won't get to see it until Jan! Chris

To answer many quotes and comments. 1. The music was designed to take a minimalist approach. To give it more of a serious, docu-drama feel. I also own the soundtrack and it really does grow on you. Nothing much stands out while you watch, but after listening to just the music you really start finding the peices you really like....and yes there are drums and they rock!!! This series is trying to avoid the space opera image. 2. The series IS going to take a more desperate approach to what is happening to the survivors, ie, What are they going to do for food, fuel, and munitions. The series is going to start right where the mini left off. The jubilation that was felt after thier escape wears off and now the fear and hopelessness start to creep back. 3. As for the design of the new Galactica. Galactica.tv forums has had lengthy discussions(spelling) on it. In short, She's supposed to look ribbed, something to do with how it can obsorb more damage....the techno people there rival the people here in thier discussions!! If you are interested you should check out the site. 4. Thankfully the series will NOT be doing the planet of the week approach that most sci-fi does. I think that if they happen to find Aliens it'll be a big deal...as it would be to us. 5. There was only a region 2 release on DVD. Still no release date for the R1 release. There are rumors that it'll be released in Nov. before the series premiere in Jan. It's said to be remastered copy of the Mini since I've heard the R2 quality is OK. It's also supposed to have more extras such as deleted scenes. Just a big fan of the mini and I'm really looking forward to the series. I agree with what most of you guys have said. It's some of the Best sci-fi to come around in a long while I'm glad to see people here giving it a chanse now. When it first came out most people here TRASHED it. Chris

I'm not sure which one you are talking about... there are a lot of variants but this link should help: http://www.eagames.com/official/moh/pacificassault/us/ He's refering to Medal of Honor Rising Sun. I'd alsolike to know if there will be a PS2 or Gamecube version. Chris

Just wondering if anyone got this model or is planning on getting it. I'm curiouse just how "different" it is. I know they say the lighting system and the paint schemes are improved/different. Also it has decal options, just curious how different it really is Chris

I agree with you Shin. Just remove the landing gear and make her sleeker!! I never bought the originals because I thought that it was the most god awful looking thing. The legs/intake portion particularly. They were just way too fat. Chris

Interesting. From Cinescape website: Recent reports published by STAR WARS and movie film websites have hinted that George Lucas may be considering making a third STAR WARS trilogy of films. Last week an anonymous email was sent to this website from someone claiming that non-disclosure agreements had been presented to employees of Industrial Light & Magic pertaining to working on EPISODES VII - IX of the space opera. With rumors that a STAR WARS television series was quietly in development (we've heard it as well), could Lucas be entertaining the notion of going back to his original plan of making nine STAR WARS movies? E! Online decided to check with Lucasfilm about the rumor. According to Lucasfilm representative Lynn Fox, the story is 100% incorrect and there was never an NDA for a third STAR WARS movie trilogy issued to employees. "STAR WARS EPISODE III -- REVENGE OF THE SITH is our last and final installment," Fox told E! Online. What is interesting to note is that while the Lucasfilm rep dismissed the movie trilogy, the door was left open for a TV series. Chris

I could've swore I heard somewhere that there is a possibility of the saga continuing.....possibly in a TV series.... I wish I could find that refrence. I'm pretty sure it said that they weren't certain what format it would be ie, animated, live actor series or movie. That might be what the gag order is about. I wouldn't be supprised if it is animated for a few reasons, 1. Lucas is starting an animation studio in HK I believe 2. The success of the Clone wars animated micro-series 3. It would be easier to continue with the original cast since there is a 20 year difference now....if of course he wanted to do a direct continuation. Chris

Glad I could help! It's been a while sinse i read it also, might have to read it again soon. Chris

Agreed!! I'd love to see more of that one! Chris

A little of topic, but with all the discusion of the different versions of the films.... Has anyone seen the IMAX version of ATOTC. It was actually VERY good IMO. I actually prefered it to the theatrical version. They removed most of the cheesy love stuff, BUT, left just enough (and what was left was the more mature parts) so that the relationship was actually believable(spelling). Chris

The new Bandai NCC-1701-A is supposed to correct the deflector problem. Back on topic, where can I pre order the polar lights 1/350 Enterprise? Chris

Perhaps the Y-wing will be a seperatist fighter design....for the non-droid combatants? Since the Republic is show the designs towards the Empire. Chris

If you already own a PS2 can I still have it modded? I'm not computer savy at all but I really want to play import games....especially Macross! Is it possible or safe to send the PS2 to some one who can then Mod it if thier isn't any place near where I live? Thanks. Chris

If you like Starship Troopers, which I ADORE!!!!, try a book called "Armor" by John Steakley. It has similarities to SST such as Powered Armor but looks at war through memories or flashback. It's pretty cool you guys should give it a try, if you liked the SST book. Chris

Love it! I think the panel shadding looks great also!! I like dirty birds also Can't wait to see more! Chris

Just Confirming what a few others have said. I'm an Air Traffic Controller, the official language of Aviation is English. Now, in-non english speaking countries I'm sure pilots and controllers will speak thier native languages but as Knight 26 stated ALL pilots MUST be able to speak and understand english. If we get a pilot....even an airline pilot, that can't understand us or we can't understand them, then that flight won't be going anywhere until it can be completely understood. Chris

Hey David, I already have a Fujumi F-14D "tomcatters" kit, but I'm interested in the guide idea. I'd love to make an accurate as possible Shin Tomcat! What I really need though is the squadron markings, kill markings, and pilots names. I already have the UN spacey low vis symbol from a custom decal sheet i got off of HLJ. Anyone making custom Shin markings? Chris
