Topic: Mos Eisley Cantina

Thx Robo-Goose, my internet has gone kinda slow and so I gotta let the video load but I'll let you know what I think of the video. I guess I better let you know that where we live we don't have our own internet router but we're piggy backing off of another signal sent out but the park office where we live.

BTW could someone please give me a synopsis and a little rundown on what exactly Gundam is about? Is it like Voltron, Sym-Bionic Titans or Transformers in any shape or form? It's looks like a cross between Voltron and Transformers from the images but I can't watch it tonight thanks to the lagg of the internet tonight. I think I'll have to watch Gundam once I get into town after the snow fall.

I loved the Lego Star Wars games I have the First one and the Second one on Gamecube I never did buy the Complete Saga one but from what I was told is its just the first game and second game in one disc so I passed on it. I am probably not going to get Lego Star Wars 3 due to the fact that its based on the Clone Wars cartoon series and quite frankly I cant stand that series. But yeah the first two were great games.

@Tasuki, the reason the third season of the new Star Wars The Clone Wars show is getting so much praise from IGN.com, TV Guide Magazine and other news outlets is because it is not your typical sci-fi storyline. Star Wars The Clone Wars Season III Secrets Revealed is not merely Star Wars as we've known it in the past as being an allegorical look at the historic and religious conflicts of the past between political systems and corrupt Catholicism struggling to control the nations of the Earth. Season three of Star Wars The Clone Wars is almost a mirror of sorts of in which George Lucas encourages viewers to look into and examine ourselves and see how far we've fallen from grace as a Nation as The Galactic Republic is a representation of the United States in a way.

Season III Secrets Revealed explores the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan while taking an in-depth look at terrorist organizations and radical Islam (Dark Sith/ Dooku's Confederation of Independent Systems) and the innocents who get caught in the crossfire. The show also deals with darker themes such as Black Water and dishonest military contractors along with vile banking clans and outright brutally sinister forcers all while returning to the minute qualities that made the Star Wars franchise such a success back in 1977. You'd be missing out on a very exciting ride if you passed up Season III Secrets Revealed. The show has improved immensely Tasuki and I'd highly recommend you give it another try. I also enjoyed the original Clone Wars show by Genndy Tartakovsky.

I never looked into the show that much. Maybe that's why I really don't like it. (Or maybe it's because I can't stand adult Anakin)

Gundam is a very realistic and believable (to an extent) Gaint robot show. It's nothing like those shows you mentioned. There's no over the top cartooniness here. The stories and focus are all different depending on each show. Some are character driven, some are story-heavy space operas, some are all about setting up a believable world. I'd recommend Gundam 00 the most to you because the fights are the most fantastic compared to the rest, and it has an even mix of strong characters and deep, involving plot that gives you enough to keep you intrigued while not making your head explode.

Thanks Mickeymac!

I never even made it through the first season. The main thing that killed the series for me was the whole Anakin has a padawan angle. I just thought that was lame and ruined the whole thing for me right there. Plus I dont like the artwork. The characters hair has no texture to it they all look like mannequins or Pinocchio. If they did it something like how they did the Disney Christmas Carol or Polar Express than I might have watched it. No offense to you all you like and thats great but I just didnt like it.

@ Tasuki, It's all good.. I understand your point. BTW they have improved the hair textures and the animation in general in Star Wars The Clone Wars Season III. BTW I've gotta admit that at first I thought it was anathema for them to give a reckless personality like Anakin a padawan but now I don't feel that way as his student Ahsoka Tano has really grown on me and she is now one of my favorite characters. Ahsoka has served as a way of helping Anakin to become a more likable character and helping him to mature past his youthful brashness.

Anyway, I'm not going to force the show on you. I respect your views and likes and perhaps you can tell me some of your favorite sci-fi programs that I could check out. Right now I'm just getting into the Doctor Who Series 5 show and I like it so far.

Truthfully most of the Sci Fi I watch is Japanese Anime. Although there are a few American made I do like mainly Star Wars and Star Trek and the Terminator series. When it comes to TV shows to be honest I dont watch much TV.

As far as Clone Wars goes like I said its cool that you like it. Personally I liked the way they did the first prequel about Anakin. I loved seeing his downfall and how he ended up becoming Sith. In fact I might be one of the very few people who like episodes 1 - 3 more than 4 - 6.

Anyway some of my favorite Japanese Anime Sci Fi series are.....

Full Metal Panic
Now and Then, Here and There

and a few others that escape me right now but as soon as I remember them I will post them.

Here's a good one.

@Robo-Goose

Haha, hilarious.

I'm with Tatsuki. Most of the Sci-Fi stuff I like nowadays are anime shows, like Gundam, Blue Comet Layzner, Cowboy Bebop, and Martian Successor Nadesico. The last western sci-fi I liked was Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, but I'm over those now.

Oh I almost forgot Trigun thats another one of my favorites.

Yeah, I like Trigun too. Cool show from what I've seen of it. I keep forgetting it's Sci-fi, though.

Any Jules Verne or H.G Wells fans in here?

. I enjoy both Jules Verne and H.G. Wells although all that I know of the latter is War of the Worlds. My favorIte Jules Verne story is '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea' and I'm looking forward to the "Empire Strikes Back" take that the Walt Disney Company is planning for the upcoming '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea' movie. I hope the film will similar in tone and appearance to Pirates of the Caribbean and LucasArts Monkey Island. In regards to the SciFi genre I also enjoy Irwin Allen's Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, Voyagers, Time Tunnel and SCEA's Ratchet and Clank.

Here's a Vader video you guys might find funny. It's called Vader being a smartass.

Cool. Im currently reading "First men in the moon" by Wells. Its great so far, but after just finishing War of the Worlds, its a "First men in the moon" is a lot slower paced.

Yeah its kinda a Sci Fi western.

Okay, I'll look up that First Men In The Moon. Jules Verne had a book called From The Earth To The Moon that I heard was quite accurate as far as science is concerned. BTW are any of you Avatar The Last Airbender fans?

Yep I love Avatar: The Last Airbender in fact I have the whole series in my instant queue from Netflix . I cant wait for the new Avatar series to start.
