I remember you mentioned what you felt were her weaknesses as a podcast host, but I'm not familiar with her writing - what would be the problem, do you think?

With the caveat that I haven't read any of her things for StarWars.com or Insider, from the podcast and her interviews I feel like she's just someone who's going to write the equivalent of a condensed Wookieepedia article. "This is so-and-so. In 34 ABY she visited the Resistance base and played a major role fueling the X-wings." More about just summarizing stuff than having a lot of flourish or creativity. But I guess that kind of approach may be what Lucasfilm wanted for this. I also remember she did not read any of the comics or books, which seems odd for someone covering what will presumably be majority non-film characters. I do remember that she broke down crying multiple times at the thought of Ahsoka dying so I guess that's one character she's passionate about.

Holding a laser sword above the head of your student is surely a breach of the professional guidelines and standards for teaching, Jedi or not.

Edit: nevermind, I didn't see your above post.

Finally saw Solo. It was kind of a mess but could have been a lot worse given the production problems. That said it's the weakest of the new films by far. The Maul scene looks pretty goofy, like they motion captured it for no particularly good reason. Why didn't they have Ray Park voice him? He had a few lines in TPM and did just fine with them. Then he force pulls his lightsaber into the frame and ignites it for shits and giggles. Which just looked dumb and didn't really tell us anything.

Let me also say that I vastly prefer how Han and Lando met in the EU. Wherein Lando manages to get the drop on Boba Fett who was attempting to kidnap Han at the time. They give him obedience drugs and force him to fly his ship off into the middle of nowhere. I guess what I'm saying is that it's funny to clown on Boba Fett and the new continuity could use some of that.

I agree, and that's why LucasFilm are cowards for not getting Taika to direct the Boba Fett movie. Basically I want to see Taika make a very Maori film about Mandalorians, like he did with Thor. https://thespinoff.co.nz/atea/31-10-2017/thor-and-his-magic-patu-notes-on-a-very-maori-marvel-movie/ cptn_dr fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Jun 10, 2018 |

Thor 3 was a bad movie, I don't know why you'd want anything more like it. Also that is one dumb and banal article. There's something wonderfully idiotic about treating the introduction of Maori culture in a story about Norse mythology as more important than, you know, any inclusion of Scandinavian culture. jivjov posted:Yeah, I probably should start tagging my lore dumps as either [LEGENDS] or [CANON] How about [NO]?

I mean, sure, that's a dumb turn of phrase but also when you're not writing for an academic audience there's nothing actually wrong with using colloquial language.

No one is complaining about colloquialisms. The article is badly written. Not writing for an academic audience is not an excuse to be unintelligent, although I understand that you cannot help it. Besides, Waititi already directed a subpar homage to Star Wars. A canonical Star Wars movie would probably not be an improvement.
