Hmm..I've always wondered about the various Imperial Admirals, and
wondered which historical figures they resemble. Any ideas here?

Hmm. I think it is the scripts of 43-46 that are "out there," and not a
completed fansub. If I'm wrong and there indeed does exist a fansub of
43-46, I would sure like to see it! ;)

All that's needed are:

1. scripts.
2. scripts.
3. scripts.

Oh- Also, I think scripts are needed. I think once there are scripts,
everything else should take care of itself.
