Star Blazers Episode 50 script

There’s a very substantial “possible cut” that starts on this page and most of the next. We’re lucky the editor opted not to delete this sequence; it’s an important breather after the intensity of this most famous sequence. It feels 100% earned, and deserves a moment to settle before we get back to business.

In the original episode, Royster got one line in this scene. It was most likely cut from Star Blazers not because they wanted to get rid of Royster, but because it’s prohibitively expensive to call an actor into the studio to read only one line.

Strangely, the commander’s line at the top of this page doesn’t match what’s heard in the episode. There, his line is, “It’s the last chance we have. It’s up to them. The Star Force.”

Producer John Bacal once again contributed his own rewrite of the closing narration. His version was heard in the episode.
