I have mixed feelings really. On one hand, I'm glad they're making another UC series, but on the other hand, they're milking the already saturated Zeon War for Independence too much. I really think they should move on after the events of Victory, but seeing they already attempted that and F91 with little success, it is only expected they're going to stick with the Fed vs. Zeon.

BTW, the character designer also made characters for these:
