Well, a guy I spoke to on LJ crossed-over FMA and the Star Wars universe...
It's kind of based od the extanded universe of Star Wars, so it's not Ed=Luke and Hohenheim=Anakin, and sometimes it doesn't fit, but as a Star Wars EU fan, I thought it was funny.
Ed = Jaina Solo
Al = Anakin Solo
Winry = Tahiri Veila
Roy = Wedge Antilles
Hawkeye = Iella Wessiri
Hughes = Tycho Celchu
Gracia = Winter
Havoc = Wes Janson
Fury = Hobbie Klivian
Hohenheim = Luke Skywalker
Dante = Leia Organa (i.e., not married to Han/Sloth. *pauses a moment* ZOMG DANTE/SLOTH. *dies*)
Pride = Kyp Durron
Lust = Danni Quee
Envy = Jacen Solo
Sloth = Han Solo
Wrath = Ben Skywalker (+ a few years)
Greed = Corran Horn
Scar = Ganner Rhysode
Izumi = Mara Jade Skywalker (which suggests Hohenheim/Izumi, which is also a "*dies*" kinda ship, lmao)
It's djcati who wrote this.

Well, that depends... the key question is "Did Al die?"
If he died, then "the dead can't be brought back to original".
If not, then he should be able to, right?
Anyone think when the whole FMA manga ends, the last panel will be Ed sitting against the wall in a straight-jacket in a padded cell, staring blankly and drooling, minus one leg and arm?

On Al...
Spoiler: (Click here to Display)
This doesn't mean that he can't bring Al back. He only means that a human life can not be brought back from the dead. He never said a body can not be recreated so that Al can go back within it. Plus ar eyou forgetting about the Philosiphers Stone? With that all laws, even the taboos, can be broken without recieveing any form of punishment.
On hoenheim...
Spoiler: (Click here to Display)
Hoenheim has to be Father...if he isn't then it is just dumb. Unless Hoenheim turns out to be Envy(the one that went to Pinako's house)then I give up on the manga. It takes too damn long to come out >__<
Can I just say I have more respect for this Pinako then the one in the Anime? I loved this chapter because she was willing to help Ed ^__^
blueices
Jan 10 2005, 11:29 PM
I agree, Pinako was amazing...all those scenes in the rain....(though I had to wait for each page to load...the emotion was intense)
Given what Ed now knows...how will he break this to Al? He might not want to tell him at all (it's just all too sad!)

I know!!! This is really really bad...I keep thinking
"what will they possibly do now?!"
But then I realize that we have yet to learn so much from the manga.(I should try harder to not let random anime knowledge seep into my understanding of the manga)
Still so many questions:
-When will we see the 7th homunculus? (Pride)
-How evil is Hohenheim??? (I'm assuming he's the father)
-What are the precious sacrifices for???? (will they make homunculus? or is it easier to make the philosopher's stone using state alchemists?)
-Will pride be the kid(wrath) from the anime or not? They introduced the person who yanked Ed's arm and leg...and I suspect he's not exactly the God he says he is...Alas I am also hoping for a bishie Pride, but who knows?
-What happened to Breda?!!
Ok that's enough panicking for now

Upon seeing The silver alchemist's look and appetite for violence, I suddenly thought of one memorable psycho from Cowboy Bebop
Its this insane killer from episode 20 Cowboy Bebop ::Pierrot Le Fou (I think those who have seen it will know who I mean...the episode is memorable for its weirdness)
This Silver alchemist and that crazed penguin suited killer could be brothers

I'm surprised Ed hasn't blown a head gasket yet over the revalations of Chapter 43. I know I would. The manga's starting to kind of represent college. You do a whole lot of work, lose just about everything in the process - from money to your soul XD - and in the end sometimes it's still not enough. Pinako may want to consider putting Ed on a suicide watch after those incidents. ;_;

I just finished a huge re-read of the Manga (I'm searching for clues)
Something about ch42 really really bugged me. I think Hohenheim dropped the bomb that Ed and Al might have not made their mother with a purpose in mind...
(I'm rather sure that he knew that his son was listening)
The question is why? (If he was just really cruel and simply wanted Ed to suffer an emotional breakdown then thats one thing..
.)
But what's his ultimate plan in doing this?...Does he want Ed to become more desperate in his search for the stone?
Does this have something to do with the fact that now both Ed and Al are confirmed Special Sacrifices?

Frist of all: hello! this is my first post here ^.^
Well, this is getting even more exciting in every chapter!! At first I thought that the manga story will match the anime, with only some differences, but now the things are really different and I wonder what will arakawa-sensei do now
I really liked this Pinako, she isn't just standing around, she is really supporting Ed, and that scene under the rain was so touching
But I think there something a little weird...
Spoiler: (Click here to Display)
Yoki said something about his "servant"... talking about...Scar??? since when is he his servant? when they were traveling together I'd had rather said that yoki was "kidnapped" as a driver by scar lol. anyway, probabily i misunderstood that panel, or yoki was just allucinating weird things xD
I didn't thought about the new lust, but that theories sound interesting. I'm really looking forward the next chapter

Think about what we know about Yoki. He'll do anything to save his skin, and Scar definately doesn't need Yoki, so he's definately not Yoki's servant. In fact, last time they showed Yoki and Scar, Yoki was going on about "Master Scar" ""Scarred One" sama, and all that, trying to basically flatter Scar so he doesn't get mad at Yoki. Scar's no where around when Yoki calls Scar his servant, but other people are. Makes him sound more important. He'd never even consider calling Scar his servant if Scar cuold have heard him.

Yoki is a proud ass. Right now, he's under Scar's thumb. But being the prick he is, he of course considers Scar as his servant. Of course in front of Scar, he'll act all "Oh yes, master Scar."
I suspect that "Oh yes" he got in the metting with Mei Chan, he's planning to hint to Scar to find Ed since he knows Scar is killing State Alchemists. When Scar finds Ed, Ed=goner. At least that's what Yoki plans.

Mei's visions of Ed are hilarious. Well I am sure Ed will be happy that he has a fangirl and I think she is actually smaller than him

I already asked this in the 43 Raw thread and I think it got overlooked. What do you think Pinako was thinking of about Al? It made me kind of nervous.
blueices
Jan 13 2005, 12:59 PM
You mean the scene in the rain?
The first thought on that would be that she was really concerned that Ed was going to break down. Ed was going through so much in that scene....le sigh
As for Al...ah let me check...runs off for a second
Skips back:
You mean when she says:
"Then, that Al..." right?
I think she's thinking about all that Al has to suffer being in that body. It is in many ways a worse punishment than losing limbs. We saw how much he suffers from not beeing able to sleep or feel anything; he can't even try to live a normal life. I can't imagine what he goes through every night by himself...the thoughts which run through his mind must be very painful.
In the anime, I fondly remember the scene where Al says quite sadly and simply "I just want to be able to touch you"
It's one thing to have lost your body in nearly making your mom...It's quite another tragedy to have lost your body in trying to make something you have absolutely no clue about.
Random thought: Maybe its also a ref. to the fact that Al's soul might still be rejected from his body

*starts a "WE WANT ROY!" picket line with kasumi* 
okay, tokage has been rolling this around on her brain for a long time now, and she thinks she has summoned the courage to bring it up and see if anyone else has been thinking the same thing... blue's mention of hughes reminded me...
does anyone else think that Spoiler: (Click here to Display)
it's possible that hughes didn't really die? remember how we were all so shocked, appalled, and a little bit afraid of our favorite commanding officer when roy 'killed' ross? and remember how surprised we were when we found out she wasn't really dead? *dances* i was so happy! i was like, "Yes!!! i KNEW he couldn't have killed her!!"
so it came to mind that perhaps something similar could have happened with hughes. he's far more sly than people give him credit for...i think it's very possible (tho not necessarily probable T__T) for him to have faked his death. after all, ross's death was faked for her own protection... if hughes was a target because he knew too much, he could have done the same thing.

maybe he's still keeping an eye on roiroi and the others from the shadows! muhuhahah!!! no, but seriously... we weren't shown where envy shot him...just the gun, and then a shot of his body in the phone booth... the funeral was shown after any viewings, so we're not given any indication it was open-casket... there has been no solid evidence that hughes is actually dead.
anybody with me? eh? eh, eh?? come on, you KNOW he would LOVE to make a grand re-entrace...
hughes: *saunters into central HQ with a big basket of persimmons* YO! sorry i'm late! *starts peeling persimmon* anybody want some?
everyone else: O________________________O;;;;;
hughes: *takes bite of persimmon* what? you guys look like you've seen a ghost...

If that chapter was the last due to Viz, I will start crying-not cool. T_T
Oh chapter 43 was incredible and I wonder why Hohenheim made sure Ed heard (yea, he had to know Ed was listening) him. Would he know that Ed would go make sure?
And Granny is awesome-she really cares.
Hmm...I wonder if Ed will tell Al, and I can't wait for the next chapter. ^^U
Oh, does anyone know of another site that would continue scanlations or any site that has translations?
