I have created a temporary subpage at Skyland/Temp which incorporates much of the non-copyvio content of this page. Someone42 08:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Good work. I've now replaced it. – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 16:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Star Wars Influences

Am I the only one who's watched this and thought that some of the ships, plus concepts seem to be awful similar to Star Wars? Pirates (Rebels) vs Sphere (The Empire) with a key Pirate girl (Luke Skywalker) having Seijens powers (The Force). I saw a few episodes and thought they were a bit similar but didn't put anymore into it until on screen came what looked an awful lot like a Lambda-class shuttle. Is there any suggestion from the show's creators that Star Wars might have had a key influence or am I taking what are fairly standard themes in Sci-Fi just a bit too far?

I don't doubt that Star Wars is an influence (it seems to be on most new scifi nowadays), but I suspect it's more a case of "standard themes", as you suggest. The Force/Seijens stuff could just as easily be a Dune reference, for example. Kelvingreen 15:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

"Looks like a blue Samus..."

(From the article's description of Brigadiers) What the heck is a Samus (a Metroid reference perhaps?), and why is it relevant in this context? If it is a Metroid reference, I'd say the Brigadiers look more like Robocop or Iron Man than Samus Aran. Kelvingreen 15:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Shall I change it then? Kelvingreen 22:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

And now someone's popped up to say they look like something from Star Wars that they, of course, don't look at all like. I give up. Kelvingreen 16:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

CopyrightVio

All the episode synopsis's seem to have been copy pasted from the ABC website with a sentance added on the end of each synopsis by the author. --Tobes 08:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

And I'm not too sure about the pictures either and the fair use policy. But I hate that policy, because I think it's stupid, so I don't care. 70.144.212.7 21:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Voices and performers?

On each character is a credit for “voiced by”, and for “performed by”. What does the latter mean? Motion-capture? —Frungi 22:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

This really reminded me of...

...Last Exile. Floating ships, very little water, kids that get with a rbell organization. It may not be an exact copy, but influences are strong.

It may be but you will need verfiable sources before adding that or it would quicky be removed as OR. --70.48.173.147 03:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

ICO:... you must beware the Dievice, it is the the idea that the planet was destroyed by IBM LASER CANNON KRASSUS-1, and is now hidingly plundered by thundercats - while they try to restore a senate, ; in this way the hyperion is protagonist - tragedy, the great tree & and the biomechanical-mouth-of-madness that lives against the entertainment industry with madonna nostromo, it is to me that the whole thing ends up in the nursery ryhme the quangle wangles hat --- i have come from somewhere... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.235.12 (talk) 15:21, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

... Star Blazers? Well not a lot of similarity, I'll grant you. But "St.Naazir" looks an awful lot like the "Argo" (actually "Yamato"). The whole sea-ships converted to space/air-ships thing is definately a tip-of-the-hat, at least. Plus I'll weigh in on Star Wars influence: not only the Sphere ships resembling Lambda-class shuttles, but the Rebel Mosquitoes look a lot like early Republic Tie fighters from Star Wars... Oh, and the Mogura from ep 4 has Matrix Sentinel written all over it :D — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.58.243 (talk) 04:02, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

I know i'm not a mod, but....

I deleted. "The plotline borrows heavily from previously used concepts from anime, in particular the hit Japanese anime series Last Exile. IMDb user reviews describe the series's "gorgeous animation," "terrible writing," and similarity to Star Wars.[1]" The IMdb site isn't much of an good source for information and reviews.

What is this show ABOUT?

I'm _guessing_ it takes place in outer space, but the intro doesn't say anything about that, and then it goes right into the characters, referring, for example, to a "ship" and a "simulator" without giving any context for what any of that means. The article should begin with a brief overview of the setting, the time, the characters and the plotting. Propaniac (talk) 19:46, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

New episodes mid-2010?

Soo it's been mid-2010, but there aren't any new episodes as far as I know. It says they would be released mid-2010 at the earliest. So is it going to take some time or is their time up and arent there going to be any new episodes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.251.105.44 (talk) 18:17, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
