Stars Falling in Space (機動戦士ガンダム Sora ni Furu Hoshi) is Phase-13 of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. It first aired in Japan on December 28, 2002, and in the United States on July 10, 2004. The HD Remaster version first aired in Japan on March 16, 2012.
Summary[]
While on its approach to Earth, the Archangel and the 8th Space Fleet are attacked by the Le Creuset Team. The Archangel is able to descend to the planet, but not without the loss of the entire 8th Fleet. As he charges toward the Strike, Duel Gundam pilot Yzak Joule vents his frustration by destroying a spacecraft carrying Heliopolis refugees. Caught in the explosion, Kira Yamato is sent hurtling out of control toward Earth.
Plot[]
Notes & Trivia[]
- Le Creuset addresses Athrun and Nicol as the "soft" out of the four ZAFT Gundam Pilots, ironically they have the more intimidating-looking Gundams.
Errors[]
- At 07:49 - 07:50 the ZAFT fleet is depicted with six Laurasia-class vessels instead of two. This shot is reused from SEED Phase-02, Its Name: Gundam.
HD Remaster Changes[]
- Several scenes from the Special Edition release were added in this episode:
- The interior of the Escape Shuttle with the fatalities being shown.
