Haven’t watched since I cancelled device but considering it’s Disney I assume this sets up another female lead? There have been Sone great shows with female characters in the past but this is a major issue with the diversity obsession. Becomes very predictable because you know the females will most likely take center stage even when the show is about a male (Obi-Wan). I still feel like I misunderstood when I heard Disney wanted something to appeal to boys

I think she is a good actress and doesn’t antagonize fans but at some point I totally get people rolling their eyes at yet another female led Star Wars show. There were already women who liked Star Wars before Disney bought it. When I was in EU forums in the 90s and early 00s plenty of women were there to talk about the books. I’d say the ratio was 65/35. Not sure how many new female fans they factually have made now. Plus with these new movies normies will go see them so I feel they will make money unfortunately

Do you know why it's happening with this specific character though?

Bo Katan has been in charge of the Mandalorians three times now, and fucked up every previous attempt at "retaking Mandalore", a planet that S3 has shown to be:

  1. Abandoned: because nobody actually fucking wants it, except Bo Katan.

  2. RIGHT FUCKING THERE: because on top of hyperspace being instantaneous in SW now the ease of getting to this lost homeworld is non existent.

  3. Nothing like the brochure: because it was reported to have been bombed into a wasteland. And yet several times now it's been visited in S3.

As of right now in the show Bo Katan's character developement can be accurately described as:

Right back to where she was in the Clone Wars, over 20 years ago.

Filoni is just wanking off another of his OC yet again which will be the same sort of show Ashoka ends up being while ripping off Heir to the Empire with Thrawn despite KK claiming "tHerE's no SoURcE maTeRiAL!"

That's not hyperbole, they're literally making Zhan's Heir to the Empire, but with Ashoka instead of Luke because Disney has zero creativity.

Phoney Filoni is a hack and always has been.

Which is frustrating for EU fans because when Disney bought Star Wars people were asking for Heir to the Empire. I said if you aren’t using what Lucas gave you then adapt Thrawn books or NJO. I feel the Rey movie will bastardize the Jedi academy books and have her do what Luke did. Or why not have her defeat the Vong with her mind

They made a big deal about how being Madalorian means never taking off your helmet and now THE Mandalorian is going to be some bitch who constantly takes her helmet off? The ultimate Mando supremacist who wants to retake the motherland doesn't adhere to the old ways?

Thanks for not making your universe internally consistent Disney.

That's Bo 'repeated terrorist and insurrectionist' Katan to you, pleb!
