Oh, that's why somebody brought up the thing panel from a 15 year old comic where Aayla Secura talks about how female Twi'leks are 'bred for frivolity.'

Random tangent: I'm currently catching up on my single-player backlog and playing Rise of the Tomb Raider atm. Last night it occurred to me Aphra could headline a pretty dope single-player action/adventure game like the reboot Tomb Raider series, but set in spaaaaaaace.

I would be extremely down for a version of Jedi: Fallen Order that’s just the temple exploration/platforming starring Aphra.

And rather than fighting enemies, most of the time you're talking your way out of conflict, or wasting time until Beetee or Triple-Zero arrive to mulch everyone

Although in Issue 40 of Aphra, she single-handedly incapacitates Darth Vader by manipulating a temple's traps, so there's the "find new and interesting ways to kill enemies" playstyle too

I'm probably in the minority here, but I much prefer the older, pre-reboot Tomb Raider games, where you'd enter a new region and there'd be a slow pan across the area before you'd have to puzzle out how to connect different bits together and reach the other end. With a little light combat thrown in on top for good measure. I'm not hugely familiar with Aphra outside the Darth Vader comic, but from what little I have seen of her I'd think that style of minimalist combat that focuses more on pitting the character against the environment would suit her more.

A hybrid of Thief, Hitman, and Tomb Raider set in the Star Wars universe? I'd play the poo poo out of that.

At some point during the final fight, past generations of Jedi will be heard speaking to Rey and helping her somehow. These voices include Luke, Leia, Yoda, etc but also apparently Mace Windu and Ahsoka.

newest rumor is that the 2 animated shows currently in development but not announced are Dr Aphra and a post rebels continuation.

as the animated shows take longer to make (resistance took a year+ per season reportedly) they are all deep in development for release in 2020.

I actually speculated on this in the old thread i think that we would get announcements for a fall release animated series.

They are but their source in this case is Jordan Maison, a guy who occasionally has actual scoops. I wouldn’t put too much stock into that rumor until someone else like MSW or BespinBulletin says the same though.

I have seen people complain they don't know how long The Mandalorian can go on because there's no over-arching plot because I guess we've forgotten what 'episodic' means. Have Gun - Will Travel lasted for 200+ episodes. Pretty sure Mando'll be alright.

Prestige Television Mega-Dramas have ruined our ability to appreciate simple and concise stories that contribute to the greater mono-myth of a character. The Mandalorian is actively working against that kind of narrative and it feels like one of the good, classic Sci-Fi shows from the 80’s and 90’s as a result.

Yea I got a mix of Farscape and Firefly vibes from the show early on. “Weird puppets in what’s effectively a space western setting” sells it really well for me.

An accurate portrayal of Aphra would be ridiculously unlikable and a massive karma houdini who keeps not dying when everyone has SHOOT ON SIGHT orders against her

Well yeah they're not gonna have her say gently caress, but it can still be PG-13.

Honestly, it would be good for the service to branch out into animated programming for an older audience.

Yeah, no, Boop is likable and that's part of the problem. If she weren't, she'd actually be dead by now.

Is the new Jedi Fallen Order game considered canon? I am only about halfway? through it and I am loving every bit of it.

The cameo from Saw Gerrera caught me off guard and I was like - OH YES.
