    Actually the ability for a natural disease to cross species that evolved on different planets would be quite remote. What always ticks me off is that they can seemingly interbreed without issue, we can't even interbreed with other Terran species, how would we be able to breed with aliens that evolved in completely different ecosystems.

    As promised. Not Bad for $200

    Will post pictures later. Today at Bookmans (a Local Tucson used books and entertainment franchise) I picked up a complete, in box, Bandai 1:55 VF-1S Hikaru Strike Valkyrie. All the joints were tight and there was ZERO yellowing. The stickers were applied, and all parts present including the firing missiles and Minmay figure. The only issue, the box had some cosmetic issues, corners were smashed a bit and there was a puncture on the back. The styrofoam was all intact. The price: $200 plus tax.

    I know I would be interested for the right price.

    If BW goes that direction I may finally get a VPN, assuming I can get the Smart TVs onto it and finally watch all my Macross in HD on the big screen.

    Being unfamiliar with the earlier models, what are the improvements?

    Deleted, answered my own question.

    Are those rivets raised? No modern aircraft has raised rivets. At most you will have flush rivets. Wow, that takes something that looked pretty cool to looking like it has herpes.

    Looks interesting, and like the end might take place during RotS. Which would be cool, as it would better show the timeline. IIRC the book made it sound like the movie took place over several months, but as filmed it felt like a week or two at most. Yes too Ashoka centered, and because this is being released out of order there won't be much, if any real dramatic stakes in any Ashoka/Maul battles.

    This diagram always points to my biggest issues with the YF-21. Basically those intakes are an aerodynamics nightmare. The only way that the VF-21/VF-22 can work is because of the morph metal shown off in the wings. Basically the thighs (at a minimum) of the legs would have no choice but to compress flat to allow for an intake that doesn't shatter the compressor face with wicked compressor stalls. Event then, there would be issues. In a toy, the solution is parts forming, but to take Bandai approach. Skeletonize the legs like in a RG Gundam model. Then have "morph metal" pieces that snap on depend on whether is it is in fighter or battroid mode. Yes, most fans will just leave the pieces off when in fighter mode, or maybe just put on the "bottom" pieces. But that is a way it could work and not make the fighter mode seriously Thick.

    TRoS was about the best we were going to get after the mess that was TLJ. The issue with the ST is that they didn't plot the whole thing out from the beginning. Like Lucas did with the OT, they shot from the hip, and TLJ shot them in the foot. Having read the story treatment from the original writer, it looked interesting, but I cannot say that it read as better. Disney/LF had a chance to truly change the face of the franchise and bring about a "good" end to the Jedi-Sith war. Instead they made it clear that the prime SW movies are truly a Palpentine vs Skywalker story. Whether the ending was "Good," who knows. I know how I would have done it, but that is a discussion for another day. My personal hope for the future of the franchise is that they get away from the Skywalker/Palps timeframe. Go forwards or backwards and put a single voice in charge in the writer's room, a writer/producer who can reign in the directors. Basically, have KK retired and put the team of Filoni and Favreu in charge.

    I recently acquired a pretty beat up 1:55 Hikaru VF-1S. It is missing all of its fast packs, gunpod, canopy and the head laser need replacement. The front landing gear also needs repair and it is pretty yellowed. Does anyone have STLs for the parts above?

    Who is Bill Burr? I never heard of him before this.

    The look on her face after staring at her RIGHT HAND is pretty telling. She is a clone, possibly of not one person, but two: Luke and Anakin, made from their right hands.

    Looks like he goes to Korribon, so I think that theory might be right, some ancient sith, like Darth Bane or even Exar Kun.

    Just when you thought they couldn't set the bar any lower, they started digging.

    HG and Robotech have no hope of a serious return to "glory." The foundation of Robotech's fall were laid when Macek, Agrama, and crew decided to combine the three series instead of the original plan, of using Robotech to be the header for bringing over various mecha based anime series. Even throwing themselves on their swords to the mercy of BW won't save them now. The heart is still beating, but the limbs are getting chewed away at little by little and the whole franchise should be dead in just a few years.

    I am interested. I think even the boys would like it.

    Zentraedi aren't much for comfort in any of their combat craft.

    I am so onboard with this, looks awesome and still seems to have all the qualities, including exaggerated expressions, that made Lupin-III so fun and amazing to begin with.
  21. Knight26
    Which would get boring.
  22. Knight26
    Yes he did, when he threatened Jabba.

    The pacing argument is just people looking for something to complain about. I saw the same argument about the new Lost in Space series. The reviewers/complainants don't seem to know how story and scene building works. In this case, the slower pace is great, it is a small story, a personal story, not a grand epic and the slower pace works great. It actually is better for building tension and allowing the audience to relate with and connect to the character.

    Yikes, I looked at his filmography and its not inspiring.

    The problem isn't that she knew of him, but she recognized him. It was the same day as the attack on Starkiller Base and she was a low level functionary on a ship that likely had thousands of people. Given that Finn went straight from the mission brief, to the attack, and then was brought back in medical stasis, when would she have had time to get an image of him? Or was it simply that he she heard he was a black guy, and she immediately assumed that first black guy she saw the defector, Finn? And I never once made any comments about her appearance. The actress is not unattractive, and even if she was "hot" it would make no difference for how inexcusably bad the character was. I'm assuming that was directed at @Seto Kaiba
