It's absolutely insane that the Empire made Bobby Fischer an international fugitive because... he participated in a chess tournament in a country that they had branded One Of The Bad Countries (Yugoslavia).
At least with actors and other celebrities you can still mock them for being mediocre. Not saying it doesn't require any skill, but the vast majority of these retards aren't even at the top of their own fields. They're famous, that's different than being elite or amazing.
This might be a bit disappointing, but intelligence research has found that chess grandmasters have average IQs. It might just be a learned skill.

I honestly don't understand why people talk about actors and celebrities at all. If Americans spent 1/100 of the time they spend on thinking and talking about celebrities on science, we'd have cold fusion by now. Sort of like the Family Guy cartoon in "Ireland before alcohol".

He's my hero for that act alone.
I don't know too much about the guy but, yeah, he seems like a badass. And a chess genius, of course. He's amazing on that alone.
So is Kasparov, and he's an absolute jackass NPC and imperial bootlicker.
Fischer stood up to the Empire at great personal cost.
Man, genius NPCs are the worst.
