7 & plus are actually complementary series to each other. In one music is used artificially to control, in one music is used organically to break control. As for hate, isamu is ;pretty much Basara without a guitar, get over it.

And yet, he didn't make the Shadow Chronicles cut, strange...

Yup, the floating head was awesome.

Maybe I've just been desensitized

I'm starting to wonder if there was some weird issue between Big West & Manga at the time. Considering that Big West contracted their own dub for that episode, and Manga were missing BGM & SFX tracks (had to do their own), I'm really curious about what happened there.

Dare I say adding in the "nooo" makes complete sense. Every other SW film has a cry of "nooo," Jedi is the odd one out without it.

Alright, finally made myself sit through Yamato Rebirth on youtube (bad subs, but they'll do)...WTF. I know Nishizaki was more than a few screws loose, but this movie was exceptional. Why does he hate blondes do much? A space U.N. bullying red white & blue "S.U.S." are the main enemy's that oppress the noble space germans & space middle eastern planets among others. No wait I'm sorry, the S.U.S. are actually interdimensional demons who just wanted to suck up the Earth into a black whole to steal its resources so they made sure to antagonize & warn the Yamato at every opportunity so they could stop them. I can't even wrap my head around how many things are wrong with this movie, it makes Odin look like The Godfather. Hell, dare I say it's even worse than Shadow Chronicles? The only solice is that nothing this bad shall ever happen again, at least not by Nishizaki's hand.

A special message to bendo & the remenants of the robotech fanbase.

Because they wanted to make sure it was cost effective enough to produce more episodes. It was

No? Anakin's powers came from Palpatine using Plagueis's technique for manipulating midiclorians into creating life. There's no reason to think that would rub off on the family of the man who purchased his mother If Anakin "was" going to kill them, it would have been because they allowed his mother to be kidnapped by sandpeople. He couldn't do that because Padme was there. After he slaughtered the sandpeople for sodomizing his mother, the Lars family was a non-issue. Considering how much he hated Tattooiine, it would have taken more effort & care there than not. Though who knows, maybe he planned on just blowing the whole planet up once the Death Star was up and running and that rebel business was taken care of.

Except that Anakin ceased to exist once he became Vader. All the Jedi were killed off, as far as anyone would have been concerned, Skywalker was among them.

Dude, rent the freakin' disc's and see for yourself.

Regarding Luke on the Death Star. Vader "did" know Obi-Wan was there, he wanted him to disable the tractor beam, he wanted his cohorts to excape with Leia (and lead them to the rebel base), and he was right there at the right place to meet up with Obi-Wan for a showdown. What we don't know is if Vader had a DBZ power level sensor in his mask, as he obviously did "sense" a Jedi presence. Luke at the time was barely trained, and aside from a bit of blind saber training, the first time he "really" used the force was to take down the death star. At that time, Vader did sense how strong the force was with him. So it could be said unless somoene is actively trained/using the force, they don't show up on the force radar. For instance, Leia didn't register at all.

Already did, she hadn't yet come to the revelation that she was Luke's sister, so the mother she had to be speaking of was Bail's wifu.

To the contrary, she hadn't had her revelation yet, so there's no reason to believe she knows. It's more plasuable that Bail lost his first wife & remarried

Because her husband was spending too much time on the rebellion & not enough with her? Considering the Organa's were the only ones with any reason to know that Leia was adopted at that point, and while she somehow always knew, she had no clue she was a skywalker at that point, there's no other mother she could have been talking about except for Organa's wife. All we can assume from that conversation at that point is that she also died young, though lived long enough for Leia to get to know her a bit.

And yet it's still before the revelation that she's his sister.

For shame, you own Brazil & haven't watched it? For absolute shame!

At that point Leia's not aware the Organa's weren't her real parents though.

Their name is "BAMCO" Don't forget it!

Nah, I mean the Japanese DVD exclusive casting choice for the 4th ep.

Honestly, LOTR is so long anyway, being a little longer hardly hurts anything. You guys were saying Kingdom of Heaven has benefited the most from having a director's cut, but don't forget about the original studio/director brawl title, Brazil. If you've ever seen the studio cut, you'd know just how far they can go towards ruining a film. It also occurs to me that these sorts of things tend to be a lot more accepted with anime. I've never hard anyone complain that Anno went back and changed scenes in some of the last TV episodes, Or that rebuilt totally ruins the story of the original (because it doesn't, and it's awesome on wheels). It's become pretty common place for home release versions of anime series to get an extra layer of tweak from their broadcast versions. Often, those original broadcast versions never see the light of day again, though usually the fixes are more in the way of cleaning up animation.

Wait, DBZ is an alternate ST timeline? Now my mind is officially blown!!

I'm actually hoping for the opposite. I like the XMB how it is, and hope the Vita has the ability to display it that way.
