You take risks with jokes and fine, that one didn't land. Oh well. I'm not Bill Burr. I'm just fed up with people getting so bent out of shape over nothing. It's my own fault for wading back into these discussions. I should know better by now. Modern fandom, along with modern culture, is obsessed with victimization and crusading for vain causes. It's sucked all the joy out of entertainment because there's no escaping either one.

It's been at least a decade since I've had a productive conversation about Star Wars. At this point, all I have left is to laugh at the whole thing.

I think the bigger point is you seem to be slamming something you haven’t actually seen.

 

[Treadwell]

Well, he said it "sounds like". He didn't make a conclusive statement.

Do I need to watch the show in order to make a joke about it? Or is it possible some of you can't handle any form of criticism, even as simple as one sentence made in jest.

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not the only one mocking it either.

 

[guabe]

can we please not close this thread too?

 

[Psab keel]

I'm fine to let it go.

I'm not watching any new SW, but I did notice there's a Wookiee Jedi in this show. I've always wondered why Lucas would always veto Wookiee Jedi in the Prequels. Several concepts were done and the artists said Lucas would say it was good art, but no. He always made a point of saying how the Wookiees look like animals, but are smart and advanced. Yet for some reason he didn't think they could be Jedi. Yeah they are in the old EU and Clone Wars, but I've always wondered why. The only thing I could think of is that he thought they would be confused with Chewie or the other Wookiees in ROTS.

For some reason every Wookie except Chewie just looks not right to me. I have no idea why.

The one in Solo, when Chewie was helping them escape, looked more like an ape than a Wookie.

Though the one from the Boba Fett show looked good.

I remember the Wookie Jedi apprentice from the young Jedi knight books in the late 90s. I don't recall his name though.

And there’s a blue Wookie looking padawan on the kids show on D+.

That’s a great observation, touched on by Adam Savage in this video…there was a uniquensss to Peter Mayhew, that carried over to Chewbacca, that may make other Wookie players look “not quite right” in your mind’s eye:

 

[batguy]

I agree about Mayhew. He was distinctive. Our mental picture of a Wookie is him playing a Wookie.

In animated, there's Gungi from Clone Wars and Bad Batch - which I'm finishing up Season 3 of now and digging.

Gungi

Gungi was a male Wookiee Jedi Padawan who trained to become a Jedi in the Jedi Order during the era of the Galactic Republic. During the Clone Wars, Gungi and a group of five other younglings, Petro, Katooni, Byph, Ganodi, and Zatt, were deemed to be at the top of their class and, led by Ahsoka...

Andor is my new hope.
I heard they might do a Bix spinoff, which would be great as long as they can keep up the writing quality.

 

[CB2001]

Looks like guy whom I posted about previously has his video privated. But, he apparently went on stream with Echo Base Network. I guess he was telling the truth about being former LucasFilms Animation.

Additional Edit: RT Acolyte audience rating now at 14%. This is nuts.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

There's rumors that RT is going to lock it so the score doesn't fall any farther, which they have done. If all the accusations of review bombing were true, and if it was truly a good show, that score would have started to rise. All the people who loved it would start making it go up. I don't think there's any hope for this franchise if they constantly refuse to learn from their mistakes and don't put the story first.
