Final Yamato - Yamato blows up. ( Star Blazers )

[BarracudaSP1]

Does anyone know the song that starts at 4:22 and where I can get it?

Thanks~

[Takeshi357]

Eh, I'd sooner just get the original series remastered on DVD - not the VHS-sourced crap that Voyager released! And especially the TV series which is not only not available in the original format, but is ALSO similarily sourced from videotape - which is pretty fucking lame considering how many times the damn thing's been released on DVD in Japan!

[Hesuku]

Captain Okita - a beautiful picture of our fathers who'd give away their lives to protect us. The best anime music is here. There was nothing like "Yamato" and ever will be.

[Halpin2006]

@Hesuku Okita? Captain Avatar? How did he come back to life/

[Hesuku]

@Halpin2006 The story said it wasn't Captain Okita's brain death. Dr. Sado had misjudged it and Earth Defense Federation secretly kept him in a medical clinic. In reality, when the producer thought of Yamato's final sinking, he wanted Okita to be the captain again. He is a father-figure even to the producers. They must have been thinking the Japanese soldiers who died in WW2.

[StrahdVonZarovich1]

Darn.....finally saw the ending but it is so sad.... :-(

[effinpeaz]

I stared in shock when the Yamato blew up. :( I need to watch this movie.

[galloway6205]

The saddest part is when you can Hear the Flywheel trying to start on its own, Another hint that it could've been alive?

[galloway6205]

The blast didnt Kill Okita, he could've totally got out in a space suit to be picked up before it went down

[36933A1E]

Heck, I became a fan of this in 2008 and I'm upset over the Yamato's destruction, and by the way, Star Wars is for those who can't handle SBY.

[trelayna]

I grew up with Star Blazers in Canada, 30 years ago, bought the Bolar Wars in the 1990"s but never saw the movies or the final ending. I am now watching the original Japanese versions with subtitles. Brings back so many memories.

This ending was so sad, they killed Venture shortly before and then Avatar goes down with the ship. So hard not too cry. Long Live the Yamato/Argo

[TheDragon1612]

I grew up watching this show plus I got the movies, this was the hardest thing to watch. This ship is the best around and she will always be just that

[colanderhead1971]

3:46....O.o Farewell, Yamato.

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

i actually have every movie and cartoon series on starblazers/yamato/space battle ship, but i forget this scene!! lol. i feel 'tupid'.

[vlunney]

too bad avatar didn't relieve wildstar of his burden. he really DIDN'T have a choice and it would have been nice to see avatar let him realize he was still fit to lead. peace!

[marcanthonywebs]

Omg I never knew how it ended! I dont get it is this the movie or the series?

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

@marcanthonywebs the movie, not the series.

[Barricade]

*points to the moon of Aquarius* There lies the tomb of a God.

[thesixtiesguy]

Wow. Totally speechless. Loved the show but have never seen this ending. Beautiful, brave lady with her head held high.

[JBL9996666]

yeah, sunk 7th April 1945, taking nearly 2500 men with her to the bottom, the worlds largest ever battleship destroyed by US Fighters, she was technically the Japanese Doomsday Machine that the US HAD to destroy to stop it ever reaching the West Coast of the US

[jerseyassasin1975]

well the real one sunk, in this cartoon do they say they rebuilt that one? or do they just re-use the name for many re-incarnations like we do with enterprise? The real yamoto as I recall had huge guns (the biggest of its time?) so if they are saying they raised the same ship and built it into a space ship that would seem kinda cool. doing the same to the bismark would be cool.

[tonyknopfler]

I hope the live-action movie keeps the same "soul" of the cartoons

[Trance1972]

Very doubtful. If nothing else, I learned they don't care about the heart and soul of the movie as much as they do making money off it's name

[Supercell2]

One of the greatest Cartoons ever!!!

[DrSexyPHD]

As a kid I loved this show and so did my dad. My dad worked nights, so he's the one that introduced this show to me. I used to get so mad, because by the time I got home from school the show had already started and there would be like 5 min. left. My dad would be like, "you missed it, there was this cool space battle." It was torture, and I think my dad used to love rubbing it in. This was long before my family had a VCR.

They just don't make em like this anymore

[Osirisxero]

This must've brought tears to the eyes of so many that grew up watching this series... Me Included! All I could say to myself as I watched her sink beneath the waves is "It's just not right..."

[mstanley97]

I grew up on this and was so psyched to see it on you tube! What memories as a kid. On my sick days home from school....this show got me through the mornings! Loved it and now I feel the need to revisit the show. What sadness when I watched the ship sinking!

[Seattlecarnut]

I didn't grow up watching Star Blazers as a kid, so I don't remember much, if any, of the show.

[Xephon0930]

I hear due to popular outcry,they retconned this ending and continued the series.

[SunTze]

Which is quite funny, since most of the stuff from the Leijiverse (for those not into the original Yamato, that's what people call the universe created by the author of Star Blazers), is, how can i put it... different in every season.

For example, Captain Harlock has a character that dies of 3 different causes on 3 different seasons

[MrGodzillafan13]

I loved that this movie brings back avatar just to kill him off in a more dramatic fashion than radiation poisoning

[djwho75]

this movie caused a big trouble in japan since the fans wanted more adventures fo yamato,so they converted the movie in a tv series.The movie actually considered as "altern reality".

[detpackman]

if you look at transformers " the movie" from the late 80's they killed off a bunch of autobots during megatrons initial attack . some of my favorites died then :( . it was something the producers wanted to do for the TV series ,but couldn't get the ok to do so . with the movie they had more say in the matter .

[shadmick]

Death on Star Blazers tought me alot of things about live and give up to help others. I still remember how sad I was I seen Wild Star's brother die on the battle of Pluto or was it mars can't remember.

But a battleship sinking is a sad as a friend die'n.

[Wombat1965]

I always noticed that about Japanese cartoons...they didn't back away from people dying. Look at the 1980's Astro Boy...in the first episode the professors little boy dies in a car crash, and the professor goes mad when Astro won't grow up and kills himself. Very dark, and something you wouldn't have got in an American cartoon.

[simaster48]

There is an reason to why it's like that.

Japan was isolated for an long time and therefore came up with an different society, death is natural and part of life so there is no idea to to hide it. i've never really liked how it's today...

[critias7]

Maybe now the Earth can go for a year or two before being attacked by a new alien race.

[FeedbackMonitor]

Part of what made Japanese anime superior over the likes of Transformers, GI Joe, etc. was the concept of mortality. No one really died in American cartoons. That and the fact the Japanese often had cooler looking mecha and 'bots. Starblazers, Robotech, Force 5, all were great animated series. If there is a re-release, I hope it is not watered down.

[hitman2070]

I'm glad you mentioned that because you're totally right. As a kid watching GI Joe in the 80's my brothers and I found it ludicrous that Joes and Cobras would fire millions of rounds at each other (at point blank range) and no one got a scratch! Political correctness crap I guess (can't show someone dying...in a WAR!!!) HA! Star Blazers was far superior.

[sixpackgenius]

If they do re-release it, hopefully it will be a restoration and not added in CGI. One cool way to reintroduce the series would be to include the censored footage but have it subtitled. I forgot the users name (asdf7893 or Harlockmbb or sutred101), but he did uncut episodes in which the footage was added and it turned out cool. You'll find out the truth behind the "spring water" and the royal bee jelly!

[BanjoOz]

@sixpackgenius I'd absolutely love if this someday got the Robotech Remastered treatment (kept the dub but added a much "cut footage" and violence as possible... though with Star Blazers that might be harder, as it suffered from more "alteration" than Robotech/Macross IMO. I wonder how many of the dub's voice cast are around to do new lines (again, most of Robotech's cast have come back to do video games!).

[sixpackgenius]

I too would like to see a remastered, no-edit version of Star Blazers. Some of the voice actors are still around but unfortunately some have passed, like Chris Collins, aka Chris Latta. You might recognize Chris Latta's name from doing voices like Cobra Commander and Starscream. The lady who did Nova's voice, Amy (forgot her last name), was at a convention five years ago I believe.

[BanjoOz]

@sixpackgenius Y'know, I'd forgotten Latta (THE most memorable voice of any show, as Starscream IMO) was Knox... he did a great job too, especially since it's not the standard role he played in the 80's! I would still be able to cope with "soundalikes" for the few new lines needed for actors who were unavailable or no longer with us. Like Robotech Remastered, I don't want/expect a fully "authentic to the original redub", just the removal of the silliest "robot tank" stuff. and censored material.

[vlunney]

@sixpackgenius

I'd like to at least have as many original voice actors to come back. I don't see anyone else pulling off Desslock , same with Zordar.

[sixpackgenius]

I really hope to hell that they do not remake this series.  Every time someone makes a remake of a great movie or series, it turns into crap.

[mofo99099]

That's true, however there was a GI Joe episode that I think was an alternate future episode where Cobra had conquered the world I believe. It was mentioned that several Joes had died in the war. Also, don't forget that Starscream died and came back as a ghost.

[SavageJim01]

Those were still all lame.

Atleast in the Transformers movie, Jaz was ripped in half like a rag doll and all the deceptocons were trashed in the end.

[shadmick]

Yes I am very much in agree with you and thank you for posting !!

This tought me in war people died and sometimes they die for a good cause.

This seen made me cry when I was a kid just a emo kid I guess..

[galloway6205]

@shadmick Nah we all Cried :3

[BanjoOz]

@FeedbackMonitor Star Blazers, Robotech and Astro Boy had a profound effect on me as a kid watching them growing up. Wholly "Western" cartoons never showed consequences, much less death, but even in their "censored" form, these Japanese shows did. For every "robot drone tank" silliness there was a Trelaina or Cpt. Avatar (or Light Ray Robot or Roy Fokker). Violence had consequences, and while it might be fun to "play war" as a kid, in reality, people you cared about died. Important to learn.

[TrishaDishaWarEagle]

@FeedbackMonitor

AND the japanese didn't tack on a 3 minute PSA at the end ..because KNOWING may be half the battle, but at 630am before school watching cartoons, it just plain sucked to feel like you were being taught something..

[Hesuku]

Those who wonder... Yamato had to sink in the space ocean with Cpt. Okita. No one else, not even Kodai(he is too young anyway), is great enough to go down with her for the very final because producers have the fallen fathers in their minds...

[NecronlLord]

RIP Yamato

[MeleeStormbringer]

I can't do it...I just can't do it. BE FOREVER YAMATO

[Myeerah]

The Yamato was a real Japanese battleship. It's last historic mission was a kamikaze. They only gave her enough fuel to get to the battle. It talks about it if you buy the season 1 dvd set. There is a Japanese only mini-episode that recalls this historic event. It was omitted from the US version because the Japanese didn't want Americans to view them as violent. Although this event of the destruction of the Yamato was symbolic, it really did happen in history. The Americans destroyed it. Irony?

[Hesuku]

If Japan didn't invade Asia or attack Pearl Harbor, none of that would have happened. Nations seem to take turns to play villains' roles.

[rojman123]

Wow, that was actually painfull to watch. I love that ship!

[ImperialGaurd23]

Wow, i actually cried... :(.

[Adama16]

So Okita "dies" comes back, and dies again?

[tangarbage]

he was frozen after returning to earth after season one (quest for iscandar) and was brought out to be captain of the final voyage

think its mentioned early in the film during the takeoff ceremony

[TattsDeej]

This was such a groundbreaking show. I watched this as a 5 year old kid in the 70's and remember thinking even then "There's nothing else out here like this!" Star Blazers was my introduction to Anime and will forever be my favorite!

[Fakename70]

That final knife to the stomach @ 8.40 with the Argo slowly sinking into the sea is a bit much. Especially since I haven't even seen any of this since watching it in the mornings before school the late '70's-early 80's.

[YamatoGuru]

Oh, man. I don't normally get emotional over movies, but watching this for the first time just about had me in tears. After watching the Yamato triumph over so many enemies and survive so many missions it was really sad to see it destroyed. Even Desslok was crying!

[paulddrumboy]

that was by far the most hard to see her go down i too grew up on that and force five .

[alec00618]

made me cry

[ilurvekimba1967]

Think of it-they got the Yamato/Argo from a dried up ocean when they had to go get the cosmo-DNA. Now it's in the ocean again. Boo hoo ='(

[SgtWildman7399]

I watched this show. Does anyone remember the show with the ship that turned into a Phoenix? That was anime as well. I cant for the life of me remember the name though. Any thoughts?

[bigjboo1]

that show was battle of the planets(g-force) the 1978 version. the cartoon network version in the 90's was redubbed. very bad i might say. look it up her in youtube.

[Hesuku]

Isn't it Gatchaman, the 5 winged fighters? The content is as grand as Yamato. It's just their costumes are too... obviously childish.

[an147]

Yeah. It was G-Force. The ship was indeed called the Phoenix who can be turned into a fire bird in extreme situations. Inside the Phoenix there were other four vehicles: Mark´s fighter, leader of the team; Jason´s race car, second in command; Kyo´s amphibian transport, the youngest one; and Princes´ superbike, the only female member. The Phoenix was controled by Tiny.

[mlm71landscape]

i would like to see the yamato go up against the cordoba from crusher joe!!which ship do you think would win???-lol

[Cyberium]

Prepare the Wave Motion Gun!

You guess the rest.

[mlm71landscape]

the wave motion gun is bad ass but i think the cordoba would take it out before they could use it.lol now what about wildsatrs fighter against joes fighter???man im such a nerd-lol

[herbst9189]

Glad I finally found some other "freaks" on the planet who loved watching this show as much as I did. I would run home everyday after school and watch. So great. Never saw this though. For so long I couldn't remember what it was called and I would describe it to friends and they would look at me like I had three heads or something.

[Hesuku]

Hahaha! I understand!

[meshyD74]

did everybody watch the U.S. version? that is what i remembered...english speaking... along with battle of the planets. man, this brings back memories! my brother ,7 years older, would make me watch this when i was like 5-6...the stuff is timeless.

[ZMonster06]

what year did this episode aire?

[sixpackgenius]

This movie released in Japan around 1983. I did not see this movie until 1995 when I found it in a shop along with the other Yamato movies.

[Ironhandjohn]

I think I was late for school the morning this episode came on!! God, it was on in rerun in the mid-80's, but I watched it every morning at 6am then ran for the bus...

[maceinabox]

Yamato still lives in our hearts.....:))

[mellobu]

Wow, what a great flashback! I forgot just how GOOD this show was!

[5ohMan]

I watched this show every morning when I was a kid..I used to draw the Argo on my desk..wishing I was piloting her....

and just to see these lil video clips really brings back some great memories of GOOD cartoons !!!

[paxpaul]

Thanks for posting this. For those of us who grew up on Star Blazers, it's not far behind Star Wars or Trek in our hearts. Seeing the death of the great Yamato (Argo!) hurts almost as bad as the death of U.S.S. Enterprise in Star Trek 3. (I've gotta stop complaining about modern anime, since this old stuff brought a tear to my eye.)

[kkkktti]

i thought this would be a good show, totall waste of my time.......

[PSReidar]

I love this I haven't seen this since like 1979 or so! Thanks for posting.

[soesghost]

I haven't seen any of this stuff for ... what, 25 years now? But I still remember the sadness I felt when the Yamato went down for the count. I don't even want to watch it now, lol. This and BoTP make up a large part of my childhood memories. (Along with the Sleestack, of course :P)

[ozmorphus]

This should still be on tv. I would love to see new eps.

[redshirt71]

An epic end to an epic battleship. Thanks for sharing!

[bigdogcouch]

i loved this as a kid,i can't believe the dvds are like $100.00 a season.

[enginedave]

You can get them from Netflix

[Gladaseeya]

Interesting ending. The battleship goes kamikaze and saves the day. Not unlike what Japanese pilots in WWII hoped to achieve.

[Doza130]

So like, what just happened? Wave motion has no effect? Blasphemy!

[Barogas]

What happened if I remember correctly was Captain Avatar self-destructed the ship by stopping up the wave motion gun so that instead of firing, the Argo fired the gun internally and blew itself up, wave motion engine and all. Or something like that.

The sacrifice was symbolic. What blew my mind more about this movie was the biggest 'sike' of all, that Captain Avatar wasn't dead after all...just in some kind of cryogenic statis.

[MakoIketani]

Umm, mix up.

The Wave Motion Gun fired "inside" the Yamato. They took on "Heavy Water" and evacuated the ship. Wildstar/Kodai and Nova/Yuki turned the firing mechanism around to blow up the Yamato (and the Heavy Water) to blow Aquarius out of its path to flood the Earth. Okita/Avatar overruled Kodai to stay on board.

This literally was "Final Yamato" (unless they released a new series that takes place after this one.

[woodpecker26175]

Although it was more than 25 years ago since

last time I saw the last episode (as a kid

on B@W tv), I remember a different ending....

Was it a difference between the JAP and the

American version???

SIXPACK do you have another ending?

Thanks anyway for all star blazers movie.

[2199]

American censors and I guess the editing down for time. Plus they only had a few of the rights to air certin episodes of Starblazers. Better then some of the crap they show on TV anime as cartoons.

[tmutazz]

Amen! How come Adult Swim does not air this? It's classic and there is way toomuch "Sword and Sourcery" BS Anime on as it is!

[2199]

Comes down to the all mighty dollar and the rights air this classic cartoon.Not sure or not but I herd that they have an station called Anime. Its in some area's of the country. All they show is anime. Complete and un cut.

[tmutazz]

I'll have to see if we get that channel.

And yeah, I thought Avatar being dead LONG before the end. It was on the way to Gamelon wasn't it?

[2199]

No to Iscandar. But he died of some kind of poison he had before they left earth. The doc told him he had a short time and he wont make it to Iscandar. And on the way they found Wildstar's brother Alex.

[tmutazz]

Yeah he wasn't Wildstars brother with Trelana(sp) or did they find him somewhere else?

[2199]

In the states he was Wildstar's brothere. But in Japan he was not. Who is Trelana? What does (sp) mean?

[tmutazz]

She was that blonde woman on some planet. One of the crewmen (the one in green and white)fell in love with her.

(sp means I am not sure of the spelling)

[2199]

my bad. Didnt some dude name conroy stay with Queen Starsha or some chick whenthey reached Iscandar? When they got there it didnt take them long to get back home. But Desslok was a bad Mofo.

[2199]

Didnt know that. Wasnt there a dude name Conroy who stayed behind on Iscandar with Queenstarsha. I think that is her name. Because this dude didnt return with them.

[ianwestc]

In the first TV series, Captain Okita/Avatar "dies" from space radiation poisoning. The last thing he sees is the return to planet Earth. 10 years later (as well as three movies and 2 more TV shows later), the producers wanted Avatar back for the very final movie, so they came up with a way to retcon him back -- he wasn't really dead, just in stasis for several years. A bit of a cop-out to me, the Japanese tend to be almost as free with making continuity changes as comic book writers.

[2199]

ianwestc I didnt know that. thnx for telling me, I really didnt know that. They didnt show this when I was going up.

[Angel4Argo]

I understand why they brought back Avatar. One think bugs me. IF he was in stasis for so long...then why did they have that monument to him and why did the Star Force gather to honour his "memory"??

[sixpackgenius]

In order to pay off the medical treatment, cryogenics and doctor's bills, they said he was dead so they could sell his life's story, likeness and personal memorabilia.  They figured they would make more off of him dead than alive. Worked for Elvis.

[2199]

I remember in America Captain Avatar died of some kind of poison and Wildstar took control of the Argo.Watching this blew my mind.

[sixpackgenius]

Looks like youtube deleted my response to you. I too thought the only parts to Star Blazers were the "Quest to Iscandar" and the "Comet Empire". I found out in the 90's that there was a third season to the show, that only a hand full of TV stations here in America broadcasted called the "Bolar Wars" and several movies.

[sixpackgenius]

Here is a list of the movies: "Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato"- an alternative ending to the Comet Empire series with the Yamato crashing into Zordar's dreadnaught killing everyone.

"Yamato: The New Voyage", "Be Forever Yamato", the series "Yamato III" or the "Bolar Wars" and at the end- "Final Yamato". This clip was from Final Yamato.

Take a look at some of the subscriptions I have, some users like Sutered, Harlockmbb and asdf789* have posted the series and movies here.

[abdiver12]

How incredibly ironic that so many Americans loved a series which was basically created as a tribute to destroyed WWII battleship Yamato, a hated symbol of the Japanese empire. After all that hatred and war against the "Japs," I guess we had quite a bit in common after all and shared many common values.

[Cyberium]

If the Yamato series is about once again securing the Japanese Empire, I'd think fan reactions would be much different. Yamato series is a war movie that focus on anti-war. If you changes the name around, call it Argos like in the U.S., people would still love it.

Besides, not all commoners of an Empire would want to start/continue a war as much as its government. That's the same regardless of East or West.

[bullmeecham]

How nice of you to educate us on your version of WW2 history. Nothing racist about the word Jap,eh? Why wouldn't a Japanese writer use a Japanese ship? The SB stories are about reconciliation with the past and hope for the future and just good old adventure heroism. You're a knucklehead.

[Hesuku]

Americans have common things with Germans, too. Thanks for liberating much of Europe and Asia from tyranny mere 63 years ago.

[Heftron]

Not to many words spoken in the climatic end. It's cool though. The visuals speak for itself.

[doromamire]

終はりですか。でもヤマトの話は死んだ人間が何度も生き返るから­、また続きがあるかもよ。

[redeagle211]

uber pwned!!! ^_^

[ebisen]

It prays for composer and pianist's Kentaro Haneda.

[sixpackgenius]

It took me a long time but I finally found the soundtrack to the movie. It is perfect music to this great story.

[flaviotrue]

This is from the movie, does anyone have the final from the original series??

[Themaxima8777]

I'm with Nicholai50, I have all 3 as well and I thought Avatar had died right before they reached planet earth on the first mission.

[superlive98]

Supposedly, the Cosmo DNA cleared the radiation from "Avatar's" system. However, the years of illness left him comatose for a few years. He's still pretty much confined to his chair during this movie.

[Themaxima8777]

Oh ok, Thanks...

[Kaiwynn]

I agree, he did. I think this is like many Leiji Matsumoto's series, where he has different endings. Kinda like how Capain Harlocks history is different in the film than in the series.

[Hesuku]

The music is absolute. Yamato rules!

[yrralebutuoy]

i wonder if they got a match with all the space sperm on the windshield? my, what strong Cosmo DNA you have! you can bite on my wave motion gun! *skeet skeet skeet* heh heh. cap'n has nerves of steel.

[ForkliftJoe]

Does anybody in this series STAY DEAD...????

[ShadowIsatis]

In science fiction, no one stays dead...for long.

[DartsRme312]

Kind of Operatic End don't you think...musicly

[nicholai50]

What Series was this? I have all 3 of the Star Blazers series(Quest of Iscandar, Comet Empire, Bolar Wars). Besides Captain Avatar died in the first series, just as they reached earth.

[sixpackgenius]

This movie was made after the three series. There have been many movies made between and after the series. There are also different timelines, like "Farewell to the Space Battleship Yamato" in which the Yamato (Argo) crashes into the Comet Empire's dreadnaught and blows up with Kodai (Derek Wildstar) in it.

They reveal in this movie that Captain Okita (Avatar) was "mostly dead" but Earth managed to revive years later.

[nicholai50]

Thanks. I knew there were other movies, but couldn't find them, at least not in English, and my Japanese is very bad. I do like this death scene though. They even use the Yamato in the Captain Herlock series. Which looks weird to me.

[Hesuku]

Don't forget "Yamato the New Voyage," "Be Forever Yamato" and this "Final Yamato." There are 7 distinguished Yamato series. For Comet Empire thing, there is a movie and a TV series(Yamato II).

[nacho32]

awsome netflix has 3 dvds of starblazers.

great upload

[RedHammerSAA]

So thats it? Yamato blows up and sinks in space water with its captain?

[Batou3]

yep

[OldsVistaCruiser]

RedHammerSAA asked:

So thats it? Yamato blows up and sinks in space water with its captain?

---

Basically just like it did in Earth's waters in World War 2 after the US Navy torpedoed the Hell out of it!

[Shaggy72]

I highly recommend getting ALL the dvds.

This series marked 1 of 2 times I shed a tear b/c of a cartoon (other than Lion King when Simba's dad died) & yes, my buds tortured me for that endlessly

it was at the end of one of the movies when the commander takes the ship on a suicide mission and all the ghosts of his dead crewmates show up on the bridge, along w/ his girlfriend's ghost by his side

[bluechao]

I grew up in Baltimore and in my youth only the first 2 seasons of Star Blazers were ever aired, so far as I know. I never saw this piece before. The ship going down under the water, than the front rising straight up briefly before going down again was well done - quite lyrical.

[wildstar43]

It is Avatar, in this movie the story was told that after they examined his body they found live activity in the brian. So they tried to revive him and the doctors were successful. They gave him radiation treatment after that and he was back to normal.

[kycruisecrazy]

i watched it and never got up to fix the rabbit ears LOL

[jackson0034]

those were the good ol days ...kudos

[joanne45]

Best final confrontation scene ever....and I started to cry....badly! Thank ya!

[silverstinger]

Starblazers rocks!!!

[strikefreedom2005]

Wow I remember this part!!! It was very sad.
