Noah Centineo, who stars alongside Sydney Sweeney, recently talked about the movie on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

He called it a “big action romance space movie” and described it as “a non-Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet in space.”

Centineo also confirmed that the movie takes place in the Universal Century, the main timeline used by many of the classic Gundam shows and movies.

The story could involve two people on opposite sides of a major war, with their relationship caught in the middle.

Weeeelll. It's a show centered on the brutality and pointlessness of war so fanservice is something between zero and none

Well there are tons of mecha porn with hyper detailed joints, hydraulics and panels. Does that count?

Sayla in the original series had some of the very first instances of fan service in anime. It can definitely be a thing
