Yaddle appears in ep 1, she doesn’t appear in ep 2 ten years later, which is set before the beginning of the clone wars, so it’s understandable Ahsoka never met her, there’s not a clear cut answer as to when or why she left the council. Would the average youngling ever meet the council? Probably not, maybe only at a…

yes

A fun detail about this trash fire of a production is that it was initially set to be produced largely on location in Brazil, but because of covid will now be shot on a sound stage in England. They can’t even handle one of the initial selling points of the franchise.

I remember really liking the first half hour or so of RoS, wonder if that would be the same on a rewatch. I genuinely don’t know which is the worst film, I don’t think RoS is ever boring, but its so shite, whereas Phantom Menace was so boring, but does have some interesting ideas, which RoS doesn’t at all.

It’ll probably seem more like a dumb sort of watchable movie in a few years. The prequels are dreary af and I watch them now and then, but at least at their worst the sequels aren’t boring? Still got some nice production design etc, but it’s wild that ROS seems worse to me than any of Lucas’ choices like…

Wish they’d ripped off Dark Empire properly. I can only imagine that was what was going on with the Matt Smith role that was touted early in production. What a mess that movie was, even after it came out they were still essentially editing it by saying ‘Palpatine was a clone actually’. 

Could have sworn he was diagnosed with asperger’s but looking it up the articles saying so link to an interview I can’t access. 

honk if Thatcher’s deid

Also Dan Harmon has autism, so I can happily give it a pass there if he’s writing/signing off on the dialogue and actors.

That’s such a simple example of why having people with autism involved in production would have been a positive move. Autism Speaks is well known in autistic circles as a trash organisation, but people with little or no experience with the disorder just easily get involved with them time and again.

I think he'd be more of a John Mcafee supporter. 

Supercop. Meet the cop that can't be stopped. 

The article does reference Miller’s assault and link to the AV Club’s own article on the subject. 

massive oversight truly, though there are a worrying amount of apocalyptic near-misses that hinge on children being around at the exact right time and place. 

It’s so much worse when you remember they forgot to even establish that he was a clone, or show anyone finding out he returned. The ‘broadcast’ announcing it to the galaxy was played in Fortnite, then referenced in the opening crawl, and the clone thing was confirmed weeks after release on twitter. Neither actually…

That’s really the most offensive thing about it. I’ve watched Phantom Menace this year, still hated half of it and was lukewarm on the rest, but I wanted to revisit it. I’ve rewatched Force Awakens too. Haven’t even been close to tempted to watch RoS even with it being on D+ for months. 

Right, sorry I can see why that was terrible wording. I don’t mean to suggest ptsd isn’t serious, really poor choice of words. I meant to distinguish the way she acted with what is usually portrayed as ptsd in television. For all I know it’s an interesting way of showing that the way cyborgs manifest ptsd is very…

amazing

I just assumed/hoped they’d quietly given up on that show.

Yeah tbh I deleted something along those lines from my last reply. I’ve known people who have severe trauma responses that are closer to Detmer’s dinner outburst than the way TV in general usually portrays it, not just Trek. It was pretty evocative in a way I don’t associate with TV, so maybe it got me thinking more,…
