I would rewrite “To The Stars”. I would add many things to clear up latter issues.
I would add dialogue to tell the audience that….
1. The Robotech Factory Satellite will become Space Station Liberty after the SDF-3/2 leaves.
2. Show the damn SDF-2 on screen blow up so we could just take this old horse out back and put it out of it’s misery once and for all!!!
3. Gloval reveals that Carpenter’s Tokugawa class ship has already launched. This way it makes sense when Carpenter and his officer talk about having been in space for “the last 15 yrs” or rewrite the Masters episode “The Outsiders” to to alter that dialogue so they DON’T say they’ve been in space for 15 yrs. One way or the other, get that fixed so it’s consistant.
4. Maybe do an epilogue at the end that shows them creating the three mounds from the SDF-1 ruins. Something kind of like at the begining of Invid invasion. A montage of still images with narration that give better closure and set the stage better for Masters.
Then again, if they did all this, “To The Stars” would probably end up being 4 hrs long!!!!
:rofl:
BTW, I agree with Ace. In fact, I would re-write a couple of Masters episodes to make the continuity stronger.
