    My parents are boomers in their 70s. When they visited today, we were talking about TV shows, and I told them all about the Acolyte, about the thread and the lesbian space witches making babies with it.
    The look on my dad's face was priceless. My dad couldn't believe what he was hearing. He said, 'People actually watch that?'
    I said, 'No, that's the thing, no one likes it.' He just shook his head, lol.

      ​@jeanlucdiscard2382 how is that different then arranged marriages to produce perfect heirs, nobility/royalty have already tried that and it didn't turn out well for them. I'm not saying it's off the table but I would trust it more if the experts could confidently say they mapped out at least 10% of the human genome, but correct me if I'm wrong but last known study declared it was at roughly 00.00001% however I don't know an authentic analysis or if it was a ploy for more research grants, (the study I'm using as a reference is the one that was used injunction with the defence of continuing research in stim cell research a decade prior. Whether that adds weight to the argument or denounces it I know not. The reason I say 10% is because by then they would have hope fully have more safeguards against any unforseen implications, hopefully it won't turn out like what happen poor queen Victoria's children where one little pin prick could kill her son. Another example would be what if continuous tampering would destabilizing causeed after-birth defects such as inducing a genetic sequence to ensure your child grows 6 feet tall but as a result of tampering he developes a brittle bones, sure with further testing they can prevent that from happening, but there will always be someone a bit too eager before a Fondation can be properly established not to mention the first child that will bare the brunt of persecution of being the first "lab grown baby" will he be treated as a lab rat by the populace, with current stigma of being perceived by one's peers injunctioned with the escalating (self bubbling) rates unless something is done about it first it isn't so much a matter of will new life being born but new life choosing willing to live in such a life... tldr: science is cruel,safety is a lie, and at the end of every we all dye.

I hate this gas lighting that the directors and creators of Disney has made up in their mind that this hasn't been explored yet and that this is like groundbreaking and interesting. Um no ashoka in the clone wars was wrongly accused of something she did not do and the Jedi looked powerless against the political machine that was the senate. Also never forget anakin was snubbed on having a seat at the council even though one could clearly see he did deserve it. Or how about the fact that Anakin killed Dooku and obi wan while upset didn't really do anything.

      Lucasfilm just doesn't seem to have any direction at all since it has been bought by Disney. Every Star Wars project seems so scattered, and nothing has any real direction or goal. It's like they're throwing random ingredients (aka the directors/showrunners/script writers/etc.) into a pot and hoping whatever comes out is edible.

      I haven't read the High Republic stuff, but iirc the planet was devastated by a hyperspace catastrophe, which I can only assume would result in a nuclear winter-ish extinction event. If the planet is uninhabitable, it makes sense that companies would abandon even surviving structures. Especially if it's, say, an old power station, which would only be of use to a resident populace.
      Again, I'm not sure this is the correct explanation (and my understanding is that the hyperspace event is lore-breaking in and of itself), nor is it adequately explained imo. But that would be a minor complaint, and something easily handwaved with a line in a following season or whatever.
      The bigger question is what prevented and/or caused the revivification of the planet. How fast is the planet recovering? Why couldn't it recover naturally? Did the witches cause the vergence, or come here because of it? Etc.

    Gladiators rarely died as they were very expensive to train and would take years to replace - they were more like WWE super stars - their fights were highly choreographed, for very special events there may have been fights to the death if their performance's were not up to scratch. If a gladiator was killed, the owner / handler had to be compensated handsomely.
    Most of the deaths were from criminal executions which was a major part of the spectacle.

    As a follow-up on my comment at 2:28:12 , I'm so annoyed that the perspective of almost all of the aliens in Star Wars are just "Humans". Hera Syndulla is just a green human with stuff on her head. Ahsoka is just an orange human with stuff on her head. Vernestra is just a human *without* anything on her head. And all the humans come from the same place. Even in America, different parts of the country/state give you different perspectives. Now imagine MULTIPLE PLANETS.
    In Star Trek, the Klingons, Romulans, Vulcans, Borg... all these mainstay races have clearly defined things that influence their culture, and set them apart and that's where the interesting interactions when they meet with humans. There's so much you could do with characterization when you just tweak a few variables and see what shakes out.
    How does a race that has a lifespan of 30 years act vs. Humans? A race that lives 300 years? Wookies are naturally physically super strong, how does that influence his training as a jedi? Have a race with a prehensile tail, or enhanced speed. A Spider-man like Jedi that can stick to walls. A Jedi that needs artificial gills filled with water to live on land.
    I don't understand these PROFESSIONAL writers. How is this something they're satisfied with?
    I'm not deep into lore like Ryan or Star Wars Theory, but like... If I had the ability to create whole cloth whatever I want, that opens up so many possibilities. And they go with [bleeping] WITCHES. And not even the cool ones!

    In her interview with Rachel Leishman, Leslye Headland said this episode was supposed tp make the audience sympathize with the Jedi by showing how, from their perspective, their actions really did seem justified. Leslye clearly doesn't know how to make a character sympathetic/likable nor how to make choices seem justifiable/rational. I think maybe her own "moral ambiguity" makes her unable to recognize how decidedly bad some things can look to people who do have distinct moral values.

    1:30:31 ironically in lego freemaker (a non-canon lego star wars spinoff) an imperial droid travels to the deathstar-II's power core to prevent its destruction forcing the freemaker family to intervene in the battle of endor to ensure the rebels can actually blow up the core. The freemaker's almost lose the resulting duel at the deathstar-II's power core but the droid is distracted and loses the duel when he notices that his master Palpatine is falling to his death. This causes him to be defeated and the deathstar-II's power core to be exposed enabling things to happen as they do in the movie. It's doubtful that the actor was referring to lego freemaker but technically speaking if Anakin didn't throw Palpatine to his death than the deathstar-II would not have been blown up.
