teagone posted:Justification of hair styles is similar to the fan casting several years ago when people wanted Brian Cranston to be Lex Luthor in the then-potential sequel to Man of Steel because he was bald in Breaking Bad, lol. Yeah, that was really silly. I remember he even commented on it, saying something like, "I mean, anyone can be bald. Also, my wife is tired of me bald, so once I'm done with Breaking Bad, I'm growing my hair back."

I think we can all agree that Jesse Eisenberg was the worst possible casting choice for Lex Luthor imaginable.

He's not just doing Zuckerberg, he's doing every piece of poo poo petty billionaire who buys the government to get whatever he wants. The one senator who isn't interested he throws get words back in her face when he murders her. He's got another senator literally eating from his hand

I'm catching up on the current Aphra comics and drat, it's so good. She really would be a perfect fit on The Mandalorian, especially surrounding the current narrative of trying to reunite a baby of an unknown/ancient species with its own kind (other than Jedi). She's exactly the kind of help Mando and Baby Yoda need. [edit] Also, now that Gina Carano has been outed as a chud, her character can get killed off no problem and get replaced by Aphra as the recurring character that's badass and everyone loves

Apparently the first episode this season is 52 minutes long (minus a few for the credits), based on a runtime leak on the app. I think that would make it the longest episode so far, and I’m hoping they’ll still trend on the higher side of the runtimes from last season. https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2020/10/runtime-for-the-first-season-2-episode-of-the-mandalorian-revealed.html

She COULD be the type of help Lothwolf and Cub need, but she is who she is, so we'll get half an hour of coming to like her and then she will try and drop both of them down a sarlacc pit because there's an old vase she thinks would sell. Befriending Dr. Aphra is like loving Daredevil.

If someone else wants to make a season 2 thread be my guest and go ahead given it starts airing this Friday. Or we can continue to use this one and I can link the page where s2 reactions begin.

To bring it back to Star Wars, we don’t need it to always be Palpatine. New things can happen with new characters.

How fast can he hack a Gibson? Will he say things like Clark=L@m3? Will he play counterstrike and always say “terrorists win” over the mic? Will he snipe you from on top of the bridge in de_dust and tell you “cry more n00b?” Was I Lex Luthor as a 12 year old? Side question: is myg0t around anymore?

Giancarlo Esposito clearly not giving a poo poo about this promo and offering completely nonsensical advice on how to hold a sword (“if you’re right handed, you put your left hand on top!”) is incredible. Also, god dammit Disney— all I want is my beskar phone case. It’s staring us right in the face and it’d be so easy to produce. Cmon.

Aphra being a one and done character for an episode would be great; it wouldn't contradict her story in the comics (its not like she's gonna die or retire by the time of ROTJ) and could serve to test the waters for interest in a live-action version of the character. Also, beskar phone case sounds like a great idea.

Lord Hydronium posted:Just to note, there's the series titled "Dr. Aphra" about her, but she first appears (and has a decently sized role) in the Darth Vader series* by Kieron Gillen, so you may want to start there. Interesting... is the Vader series worthwhile independently? Past maybe Rogue One, the film series since the buyout has been so lackluster that I assumed the new EU would be roughly just as unappealing.
