This is like the nitpick to end all nitpicks, but I think they could have done the kintsugi aesthetic without the lazy shorthand of having all the armor be slathered with dirt. That aspect of it was a bit silly

The 03 Clone Wars mini-series was essentially in-universe propaganda, and events from it have been referenced dozens of times both before and after the Disney buyout

Perhaps that's also what Visions is, with different screenwriters sitting around throwing out ideas while playing Sabacc

There’s also that cartoon Chewie’s son watched in the Holiday Special if you want to count that

Speaking of, was that animated by the same people who did the Droids show?

I could see an argument if they were on a desert planet or something and couldn't justify using water, but there looks to be no lack of moisture on the witch planet. Actual kintsugi things tend to be meticulously taken care of despite their repairedness, which seems like it would be more in keeping with thrawn anyway

Wasn't there a whole campaign talking it up for Kylo's helmet aesthetic in TLJ? Or did everybody memory hole it like everything else that didn't matter in that movie/trilogy.

I don’t plan on calling you stupid. The references in the show are overt and unsubtle - “Toil and Trouble” abd directly quoting Jung, fer cryin’ out loud - so I don’t doubt that you’ve recognized something from somewhere.

My criticism is that trainspotting references puts the cart before the horse. Yes, there are female characters onscreen. No, they are not representations of the so-called “Triple Goddess” - even if intended, not inherently. Before you get to that point, you first need to establish that some character actually has that psychological investment in cycles of reproduction (or seasons, phases of the moon, or whatever).

Straightforwardly: does Ahsoka actually give a poo poo, at any point, that the witch antagonist is (seemingly) older than her? Like, if she has a fear of death that causes her to behave insufficiently maternal to stunted woman-child Sabine or something.

That’s before even getting into the question of whether that’s actually the problem of the New Republic. Like, not enough femininity, or ‘unbalanced’ femininity (given that the baddies are in a witch cult)? Is that actually what causes fascism - or is it bullshit?

I’m getting “programmable matter” vibes from the gold material. I have nothing to back that up besides a life time of sci-fi watching. The gold patchwork ‘growths’ on the SD’s hull puts me in the mind of the Replicators from Stargate.

It is interesting how all the patchwork on the Star Destroyer and the Night Troopers, including Enoch's face mask, are gold (excluding the red duct tape that clearly links them to the Nightsisters. I wonder if we'll see a scene soon of the Nightsisters using their Dark Magick to render something made out of gold.
