Bouncy Bouncy.. I love Clerks 2.. I think that an Mallrats are my fav KS movies.How that trailer made me feel:
Its Coming - Ahsoka
- Thread starter bigup
- Start date

I really should like this - I really like the character, I really like almost the entire the cast (few I don't know) and I really like the EU this has kind of been taken from - and yet I'm only mildly intrigued, and thats mostly "how will the screw this up" rather than from any thoughts that this might actually be a really good SW story.
I mean Andor gave me a little hope that somewhere deep in Lucasfilm there's a few semi-talented writers left, as I enjoyed watching that despite its slow pace and repeated use of "because the plot needs to happen" as I felt the lack of a "must be about a Jedi" focus allowed it to breathe life into the almost Cold War style Empire vs Rebellion aspects, all of which was enjoyable to see, but something about that trailer is just lacking "something" for me.
It'll be interesting to see what it's viewing figures look like, well as much as we can anyway, to see it also suffers the same lack of fan engagement as Andor, although with Ahsoka being such a poopular character I think the first 2-3 epsiodes will do well even if its garbage or Emmy winning.

Are there only females in this universe? That's how it seems from the trailer anyway 
Another force is female fem fest. Typical Disney.

They're well established characters in the Disney universe already. Not everything is 'woke' you know?Are there only females in this universe? That's how it seems from the trailer anyway

I'm sure they are, but how many male characters did you see in that trailer?? Only ones you see are either evil or killed. Pitiful really.

I counted 2 speaking roles for men (Ray Stevenson and the projected hologram) vs 6 speaking roles for women in the trailer. I understand your point about "good vs bad", all of the main characters who are "goodies" in that trailer were female whilst, of the 3 "baddies" whose face was shown, two were male and one was female.
It's well known by now that Lucasfilm under Kathleen Kennedy has taken a very female-centric approach to a lot of its IP so I don't expect this to be any different, but whether this approach will make or break this show we can only guess at, but based on past performance it's understandable that fans are wary.

I love how we've had 6 seasons of shows in a row with male leads, first show with a female lead and there are complaints that there are only women in the universe

Give them a break.I love how we've had 6 seasons of shows in a row with male leads, first show with a female lead and there are complaints that there are only women in the universe
Don't you remember all those decades where a trailer would drop and men on forums would count how many speaking roles all the men appeared to have?
No? Me neither.

Shows where the male is a broken down failure that doesn't resemble his past character don't count.
The Mando has been a side bitch for a few season now.

You have issues, seriously.
Don't you remember all those decades where companies **** on their core audience, called them every 'phobe and 'ist under the sun for not liking the product churned out?
No? Me neither.

Yeah, but even when it's a supposed male lead, we get bait and switch, like the WomandalorianI love how we've had 6 seasons of shows in a row with male leads, first show with a female lead and there are complaints that there are only women in the universe
Turned out to be the Bo Katan show.
Obi wan show was exactly the same.
Oh and Netflix are at it too with the Witcher.

I think a few people in this thread need to buy some of these.

I'm all for well written strong female characters, but all Disney give us is Mary Sue girl bosses
It's getting tiresome and boring.

You must be new to the Music, Box Office, TV & Books forum. The alt-righters have been trying to force their agenda in here for a while.
Need to remember these simple rules, TV made for the middle aged white man (aka a strong male lead) = good, TV made for anyone else (aka not a strong male lead) = bad.
