I'm honestly surprised that you, with all your knowledge of the WC universe, Would say that McAullife only had a few words. We know Knight was there, and then theres Action Stations to refer to, the same can be said for SM2 with Freedom Flight.

Ah I stand corrected. Goes to show what happens when you post from school without any reading material handy.First of all, for Knight you're thinking of the Enyo Engagement, not the McAuliffe Ambush.
Let me get this straight. Most people here start to explain away the odd occurances in the movie (typo's, completely new design, fugly kats...) Yet when somebody say.....the WC Saga team, who are keeping within the established timeline, change one little detail in ship design then people start complaining?So why is it so bad that Roberts had a new vision and look for 2654?

My only real complaints these days about the movie is the casting. I am not much of a Matthew Lillard or Freddy Prinze Jr. fan, although I know why they were cast
What was the reason??
why was there any need for this poor and childish pilgrim plot?
i really can't see the need for it.
Bandit LOAF said:Turning Wing Commander into a 'movie script' the first time meant having all the characters hate Blair for blowing up the Tiger's Claw. That exact story doesn't work for the 'introduction' movie, but the Pilgrim concept is exactly the same idea -- a reason for the main character to be at odds with everyone else.
Well, there would have been other ways to make all people hate Maverick, that don't include this pilgim crap.
Just an example: Blairs Dad was officer in the navy, rival to tolwyn, ungilty punished as traitor or coward -> they hate his son, and history seems to repeat itself.
But the difference between your WWI analogy and the pilgrim plot is blair's supernatural capability of navigating through jump-points.
That's poor storytelling and has nothing to do neither with wwI nor with the original wing commander concept.
