I think it would be fantastically progressive, and something to be proud of, if say a human character in this Galaxy were anything but movie star thin and attractive (unrealistic much?) Though I suppose there's a perfectly cannon in-universe explanation, of where people in the Star Wars Galaxy would receive nutrients and get their essential vital mix of vitamins and perhaps even have widespread access to fat blockers/lipo (I'm even imagining some sort of 'chemo' for excess body fat) to keep people in shape, due to the vastly advanced technology. Most people probably live sedentary lives anyway outside of Jedi, Military, and Scoundrel types. Hey, if they have bacta, anything is possible, lol...  They already got you covered.

Neo Rasa posted:Think the closest you might get is an amputee being used as a stand-in for when a character's arm gets lightsabered off or something like in Alien Resurrection/Ben-Hur/The Thing/etc., though, to bring it full circle, I would be so down with a George Miller, Werner Herzog or Jodorowsky Star Wars. Well, if you want amputees in your star wars films, Jodorowsky would really be the one to go to.

I heard they got three actors who are at or near retirement age to be in the new movies. Kind of progressive to cast seniors in a hollywood film, although I heard one broke his hip on a door or some poo poo. Way to live down to the stereotype, gramps.

Star Wars is now even part of Once Upon A Time, sort of. One episode of the Wonderland spinoff had Queen of Hearts suggesting that Jafar (from Aladdin) use a sarlacc to capture Alice because it will take a millennia for it to digest her.

Corporate synergy at work. Kind of ironic that a show drawing on shared myths and folklore has ended up pulling from its own intellectual property for new material because its parent company has destroyed the concept of the public domain. Although I guess the show is predicated on the Disney versions of all those stories anyway, so whatever.

We're through the looking glass here people. There are no more myths anymore. There's not even mythopoeicism. Soon Disney's slogan will be "We Can Make Your Cultural History for You Wholesale."

Madurai posted:Jabba (via C3PO) might not be a reliable narrator. Translating is his job. I am pretty sure he wouldn't screw it up given what happened to Jabba's last interpreter droid. edit: I am loving retarded. It is possible Jabba's information could be bad. After all, who has been around for 1000 years to know for sure. Wait I have no doubt there's some EU story about some dude who has been around for 1000 years tracking the digestion habits of sarlaac creatures.

Being digested for 1000 years doesn't even make sense, until I bothered to look up how a sarlacc works. It's like two elementary kids having a back and forth trying to find air-tight reasons for their function. It's a lot easier to accept if it really were kids trying to figure that out but no it's adults who are paid to make all this extra star wars stuff.

They haven't touched my South-East Asian culture's history yet but they are apparently planning a Polynesian princess movie so they are getting there. Hurry up, will ya Disney? Once Upon A Time already had Peter Pan, Mulan and even Frankenstein show up. Guess who's coming next?

Frozen was a lovely movie with god-awful "animation" and it's been steamrolling every aspect of pop culture since it came out. I'd really love for it to disappear entirely.
