I hope we get a good handful of these in the States, too. I’d love to be able to visit a Pokemon-themed building without having to travel all the way to NYC or Japan to do it. :/

I always imagined it with “echoing” voiceovers of the “Character is thinking this” type. Please, PLEASE let WB do this instead of making the dragons actually talk. For the love of all the gods, the First-Comers, and Faranth’s egg.

Never mind that Avatar smacks of colonialism and the “noble savage,” whereas Pern is set on a world that HAD NO INTELLIGENT BEINGS before the current crop of humans arrived. It’s canon. Dragons had to be genetically-engineered by upping the intelligence and telepathic-bonding abilities of fire-lizards.

For all intents…

Plus, don’t forget, Pern is pretty racially diverse from the time of its founding. We could have all kinds of PoC and/or mixed-race folks as key players. Imagine a black Robinton, or a Japanese F’lar—it could happen, and I don’t remember anything in the books expressly contradicting it.

Based on the timeline established in The Masterharper Of Pern, Lessa’s only about 17 in Dragonflight.
