Bust Rodd posted:I always thought “The Clone Wars” referred to a war over the use of clones, like the good guys said cloning was bad and the bad guys wanted to make clones to use as slaves or food. I was bummed when it was less political than that. The bad guys did use the clones as slaves. It was even more boldly political to make them the protagonists.

MrMojok posted:How do these tracking fobs work? This is seriously all the answer the show should ever give about things like that. Once you get bogged down in "this works this way," you've gone the way of Star Trek. Which is awesome, but the two universes should be distinct IMO and getting stuck on the minutia beyond "they set up how a thing works in act 1 to pay off in act 3" kind of stuff is something I feel should be avoided.

Bust Rodd posted:It genuinely sucks that I went from excited to see her again to dreading if she ever shows up again. Yup. Pretty much. I'm conflicted, because on one hand it's a dangerous precedent to expect a company to fire someone because of their political beliefs. But also, it's going to be a real goddamn challenge to watch this absolute poo poo-heel play a badass Antifa freedom fighter that I'm supposed to like. I'd feel fine if Cara Dune just fucks off to the Outer Rim forever.

To be honest, considering the episodic nature of side characters, it would hypothetically simple to just have her never return after whatever is already in the can.

I think the thing that stings to me is specifically that her character would absolutely hate the actress portraying her.

Speaking of Gina, I don't know how to explain the feeling of seeing the same chuds that were angry about "women in mah star wars" now praising Gina as their hero. I think I do a lot of sighing a la Mando.

Enough about the original meanings of the clone wars. I thought the thing sticking out of Boba’s helmet was an antenna, not a targeting camera.

Bust Rodd posted:Anita Sarkeesian: The Mandalorian should feature more outspoken women! So, basically, the opinion of the thread is that women should be outspoken - but only when they agree with things the thread believes? No, I don't agree with Carano's politics or opinions either. Mostly, I feel a bit sorry for her. There was a guy who was an acquaintance of some people with whom I played RPGs (AD&D, Vampire, etc.) I never met him. However, one thing I was told that he allegedly said was that "Women are just a life support system for a oval office." Those are the people she's with now. Those people, who ultimately think the only thing she's good for is the space between her legs, those are now her people. Eventually she's going to discover that. And by the time she does, it will almost certainly be far too late for her to come back into the sane, decent parts of society again.

Yeah, I've been thinking a bit about that X shaped graph in opinion between Normal People and Neckbead Twitter/YouTube in terms of their opinions about Gina Carano / Cara Dune the more of a shithead she revealed herself to be. I wish I could find the specific thumbnail but the stupid motherfucker puts out like 80 grift videos a day so his YouTube page is unnavigatable, but I'd do a Tale of Two Thumbnails of TheQuartering having a le epic meltdown over a lady existing in his precious MANdalorian vs his most recent white knight video defending her from all the horrible SJWs she's pissed off by being a trash goblin.

Cara Dune died in a bar fight on the way back to her home planet. This is her sister, Briga Dune, who also just happens to be an Alderaanian ex-Rebel Shock Trooper with teal and black armor.

It's like she wants to tank her career into the Dean Cain/Kevin Sorbo zone of starring only in lovely propaganda B-movies they sell at the Christian book store.

She's damning herself. She's accelerating toward and will soon cross an event horizon from which there will likely be no return. She's 38 years old now and turns 39 this coming April. Her window for "establishing herself" in Hollywood is rapidly closing. She could have been someone for little girls watching this show to see Baby Yoda to point to and say "I wanna be her when I grow up." And she's decided to flush that away to become... a Nazi whore. So, yes, I feel sorry for her and sorrier for the waste of the potential that she had.

Someone losing a cushy high profile job over their outspoken support for fascism is not "more fascism." You don't let Mosley mosey down Cable Street. Fascism is an exploit hack in permissive, free speech absolutist liberal democracy and needs to be strangled in the cradle.

I'm gonna be honest, I never thought she was that good of an actor to begin with, so I don't think she really had that much "potential" to begin with. So I'm not really broken up about the prospect of never seeing her in another piece of mass media again because she pointed a bazooka at her career's feet and went

Wait so are you saying that it is wrong for us to want her to face professional consequences for what she’s saying, or that the consequence of what she is saying is that she is flushing her career away? Also why call her a whore

In short, if she loses her job, it's because she's a loving idiot. On a lighter note: I'm all caught up with season 2 and really enjoyed everything so far. And Katee Sackhoff was great as Bo-Katan (and looks really good with red hair  ).

SolarFire2 posted:This is a fun game. How do we know who wins? Hey I'm sorry I opened the door for people to empty a blaster charge pack into their dick and balls with some glib TPUSA meme level fash apologia in a star wars thread, but this schtick sucks and you should be embarrassed. If you are really on the fence and not some crypto-fash idiot playing games, go read Sartre's essay or some Focault, they put it better than I can on the something awful dot com forums in a thread about magic space cowboy knight TV shows. As an enjoyer of the Star Wars in tabletop/RPG contexts, it is amazing to me how quick some of the 3d modelling dudes get around to making 3d printable versions of the characters for said games, like the weekend of episode releases: Bo-Katan: https://gumroad.com/darkfiredesigns?fbclid=IwAR0h-zmoGTDvE9z77Wi9ZxP66TR3jtriCmTkRgHcPL4ZWi0NfpXxxt1fXb4#CqhBu Mrs. Good Frogger: https://gumroad.com/skullforgestudios#moPFr The future of the hobby if 3d printers get cheap and user friendly enough might be print on demand. No more waiting for the licensee to get approval for a likeness, negotiate with a factory in china, have the dolls shipped over here and distributed to warehouses, just download the new guy and print him out to go have fun with your pals rolling dice to see what order you put your toys away.
