Sounds good. Ahsoka is great. Rey getting a new 15-year time jump to herself is great. Rogue One was great.

I don't know about all y'all, but I kind of think women are cool people sometimes.

Winstead meanwhile looks back to the original trilogy and Princess Leia. "I'm completely besotted with Carrie Fisher and everything that she was able to do," the Scott Pilgrim star says. "Obviously, we saw Princess Leia as a child in the most recent Obi-Wan series, and it was amazing to get to see that energy brought back."

Ivanna Sakhno, who plays newly-revealed antagonist Shin Hati in Ahsoka, agrees with Winstead's pick, as does Diana Lee Inosanto, who plays Mandalorian magistrate Morgan Elsbet. "I do think that there's still quite a bit to explore within her journey and where that can go," Sakhno says. Adds Inosanto: "I'd like to see her swing that lightsaber more. I know that she's had some training so I would like to see that executed more.


They're going to deepfake the fuck out of Carrie Fisher, aren't they?

They should. My fear is they won't because technology is finally at a point where it'll be cheaper to just... reproduce them digitally than recast.

Why can't we make a show about Star Wars' humble carbonite engineers? They must have stories to tell.

I've got no problem with that. Just make them good characters. Ahsoka, Fennec Shand and Reva Sevander are great characters.

Leia, Mon Mothma, Padme...? Cartoons added Ashoka and later Sabine and Hera.

The PT did show some female Jedi but none got much of a speaking role until the odd episode of Clone Wars. And a lot of most recurring characters were still male there.

Just don't forget the plot like they did in the sequels.
It would probably help if they used the same director for the trilogy this time.

This is how they should focus on things, develop a character and his/her arch before talking about gender/race. I'm not going to show up to a movie just because they pander to my race.

So you've never actually written anything before, have you? Because visualizing your chracters is a pretty important step. Nobody writes an entire plot/character arc before even knowing what the character looks like.
