Looks like coming out soon in this year will be the continuation of episode 85 ... in search of Admiral Hunter's missing fleet & the SDF-3 as well...
can't wait... will be released by Harmony Gold.

Really? Is there a website with more info?
This takes off after the 'failed' pilot movie? It may be quite a contrast then with the old style animation 15 years ago then jumps to the current day CGI enhanced animation. Not that I've got any issues about that. Macross Zero CGI mecha battles look awesome - the Valkyries look more advance than those in the original Macross ;D

apparently, details are not that forthcoming. i got this piece of info from Robotech.com...
the release is suppose to coincide with Robotech's 20th anniversary...
as for the movie, well, they just didn't like it. so... it died!
they'll be showcasing the new Shadow fighters in the series too! so far, they look kinda cool too...

Why issit called The Shadow Chronicles? Sounds rather Babylon 5

they initially wanted to call it Shadow Force since that the technology that they were using at that time was "Shadow", ie Shadow Fighters, etc...
But accroding to the website, the simple story of location SDF-3, as usual, became very complicated and therefore, warranted a name change.
Altho i agree the word Chronicles doesn't seemed like a good idea. Ah well, at least finally i'll get to know what happens to SDF-3!!!

I though the lot of Robotech Sentinels novels have already detailed out the fate and adventures of the SDF-3? The Sentinels saga episodes were meant to be following these books.

correct. the sentinel books were abt SDF-3... but apparently, it was done in the same manner as what the jap's were doing now with Macross Zero or Macross Plus / Seven... independent production! I mean, you've seen how in Macross Zero, the VF's seemed more changgih than that in the Original Macross itself!
So, this new saga is suppose to be the "official" saga... should there be discreparancies between Sentinels and SC, SC shall prevail altho the Harmony Gold says they'll try to co-exists together.
I suppose because of this reason, the name was changed as well...

The Sentinels saga episodes were meant to be following these books. Whatever happened to those Sentinels Episodes? I had only seen them being talked about online but never got the chance to actually watch it.

i don't know whether they were ever brought to MY shores... i remember the last that i ever saw was in TV2 and ended @ with the end of the Invid leaving, basically, ep 85.
I do know that a DVD version exists... but it sounded more like a movie than anything else...
