History YMMV / MobileSuitGundamSEEDCE73Stargazer

* HilariousInHindsight: Shams Couza is a glasses-wearing heavy weapons mobile suit pilot. [[Creator/HiroshiKamiya His original VA]] would go on to voice Tieria Erde in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', who is also a glasses-wearing heavy weapons mobile suit pilot. In addition, his [[Creator/MamoruMiyano replacement VA]] would go on to voice [[TheHero Setsuna F. Seiei]] in that same anime. So in a way, Shams ends up TalkingToHimself.

** The show hardly has any [[StockFootage recycled animation]] if at all.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The whole OVA is meant to appease angry fans who mercilessly lash on ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny''.
** The show hardly has any [[StockFootage recycled animation]] if at all.
** Flashbacks are present, but offer relevant information rather than telling what viewers already know.
** The main character is a [[BadassNormal Natural]] rather than a Coordinator.
** Sven is emotionless, avoiding any issues with angst and wangst.
** The story shifts back and forth between Phantom's Pain and DSSD, leaving out Orb, Terminal, ZAFT and all their related controversies.
** The first thing that the Earth Alliance does when [[ColonyDrop Junius Seven's remains fall on Earth]] is relief effort rather than calling for war against ZAFT.
** In addition, the insurgency that occurs after the Junius Seven drop gave them a better VillainHasAPoint based on them being well-organized and well-equipped for remnants and terrorists.
** While the Atlantic Federation is still evil, more sympathetic characters are shown such as Sven's [[EvenEvilHasStandards superior who angrily opposes Azrael]] and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone the doctor who regrets handing Sven over to Phantom Pain]]. There's also Reyes, an EA tank driver who knows that Selene is a Coordinator, but holds no hatred against her.
** Edmond is a former EA officer and a BenevolentBoss, a nice change from the [[BadBoss EA's officers]] found in the two previous series.
** DSSD shows that Naturals and Coordinators can peacefully work together outside of Orb and Terminal.

* MoralEventHorizon: Myudi, Shams, and their bosses cross this when they massacre a Coordinator refugee camp simply because some terrorists ''may'' be hiding there.
* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler:Edmond. He's from the EA, but isn't evil. He's a nice guy and treats people well and with respect. He unfortunately died while saving people using his awesome skills as a tank commander. Against a [[HumongousMecha GINN]] no less.]]

* CompleteMonster: If Muruta Azrael's attempt at arranging a FinalSolution in the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' weren't enough to qualify him, ''Stargazer'' adds additional crimes to his hefty rapsheet. It's revealed that in addition to the original pre-Extended trio, Azrael had an entire program dedicated to using TrainingFromHell to turn orphans into [[SuperSoldier elite]] {{child soldier}}s. When one of the program directors objected to the way things were being run Azrael, true to form, angrily shouts him down.
