Ultimately she could have kept her views private and not spouted off all over Twitter and kept her job. Social media use by "personalities" is a very strange thing. I wouldn't give two hoots about what she believes or not and wouldn't care to read it but some choose to pontificate about this and that as though they can change the world by speaking up. But they cannot. Twitter in particular is a cess pool.
It's perfectly fine to do so unless you are the wrong side of the aisle. Pedro tweeted controversial things himself, (comparing Trump voters to Nazis), but alas that's fine.

Podcast with Katee Sackhoff, post season 3, it's over an hour long but quite interesting to hear.

End of the day Bo Katan isn't a minor new character, if anything she's had a far bigger arc than Din Djarin, just mainly from the cartoon series. I think my issue is more shoe horning in Grogu for merch sales, end of the day it's merch that makes the profits, not the show itself. Though the show needs to succeed for the merch to follow on.

As for helmets on and off, I think it relates to what they get paid? For example voice only means they get a smaller wage for the role. Bo Katan's stand in is Joanna Bennett, who has filled in for many Disney TV/Film roles, including the female Tuskan warrior in Boba Fett, plus most of the marvel leads.

My point is that it doesn't matter what side of any argument you're on; if they didn't do it she would have kept her job. Twitter in particular is just ego pampering.

My point is that it absolutely matters which side of the argument you are on.

That is a separate issue to whether they should, or not.

Same with alot of the YouTube creators in this sphere

There seems to be alot of basement dwellers that are about to go on a rampage with an ar15 because a female character had more screen time etc

There is huge issues with Disney management and their focus on trying to correct all previous mistakes and push possibly their own agendas

But hell by and large I've enjoyed Mando and the other series even obiwan wasn't the worst thing I've ever watched recently (that 90's show I'm looking at you)

Disney have started to make things better in the parks with the removal of chapek they need to sort other heads of out too

You do realise the removal of Chapek was just the scapegoating for Disney losing billions in the FTX collapse...?

I can't imagine Iger laying off 7,000 staff has gone down very well though?

Nope but wasn't it 28000 during COVID. They are the highest paying company in central Florida for its number of employees (3rd largest) at $18 if they paid publix $11 or Walmart $14 wages they could keep more on wink they employ 75000 in the parks apparently and about 450000 in florida

Indeed - Cara = evil and yet ezra miller (The Flash) is 'brave'. Despite being physically abusive and grooming he gets a pass... very much depends on your political affiliation

Are we sure about this?

The main reason he's still chugging, or maybe isn't, I don't give a toss, is because an awful lot more money has been invested.

Not vocally being on the 'wrong' side helps too of course.

A bit of fun, Emily Swallow gets other voice actors to say the Armourer lines in their character voices and she says their characters lines as the Armourer. (it's also good to put a face to the Armourer smile ) https://www.instagram.com/reel/Czsd_8EsTBR/?igshid...

Peter Cullen is a legend biggrin .
