Alchenar posted:It was but I don't think that matters. People who cared about Carano's politics and didn't want her on the show just because she was right wing are just as bad and are creating this atmosphere where creatives aren't allowed to draw a line between their professional and personal lives. Obviously once she crossed the line into Holocaust denial then it was entirely the right call to drop her, but there was an internet outrage mob gathering long before that point. lol this is a supremely stupid take

He's smart enough to keep that poo poo out of the public eye, and is smart enough to listen to the people signing his checks. Gina is apparently not. I'm honestly surprised that Disney doesn't have a PR person take over the social media of their bigger stars, or at least consult on it. I know if I got a job with them I'd ask for exactly that, someone to run it so I don't do something stupid or offensive without meaning to.

"Believing one thing, and being seen as something else" is a Hollywood tradition as old as Hollywood itself. But it's wild to me that Gina Carano was so committed to anti-semitic and right-wing propaganda that it was worth more to her than having a stable, lucrative income for most of her foreseeable future. I mean, being a fan favorite in a Star War is a drat good gig if you don't mind fans obsessing over you non-stop. Now she's just a female Steven Seagal type, I guess. Maybe she will get desperate and become a small-town cop in a red state, too.

Steven Seagal is a bit of a tool but I don't recall hearing that he was vocally anti-Semitic or masks or whatever. I thought he mostly imploded for financial crap like snipes. I was thinking more Kevin Sorbo since he's gotten banned from all the same places Carano has for covid misinformation and supporting the riots and whatnot

Politically speaking he’s just like run of the mill right wing strongman fan type, I don’t think he has any takes much hotter than “black people shouldn’t kneel during the national anthem because it makes me mad”

Also, re: Seagal, I highly recommend the Behind the Bastards episodes on him if you want a deep dive into exactly what a piece of poo poo he is. The man drove into a house and over a guy’s pet in a tank while pretending to be a cop! Looking forward to Carano’s inevitable episode.

Seagal is like super racist but he doesn't want you to think he is. Thoughts on famous non-racist Sheriff Joe... quote:"When people ask if Joe Arpaio's a racist, I'm not going to say I don't think so. I'm going to say I know he's not a racist. He's not. He doesn't care what nationality you are. He cares if you're a criminal. If somebody murders somebody we go and arrest them. If someone robs a bank we go and arrest them. We don't care if they're Mexican, Irish, French, German or Chinese. We don't care. We really don't." Hmmm... quote:"...the pair are friends, and Seagal has moved his base of operations to Arizona in order to help fight against "open borders."

They still announced it, but originally the announcement was apparently going to be heavy on Cara Dune. Instead, they way they presented it at the stockholder thing made it vague whether it’d be her or not (I remember thinking it’d be about the X-wing pilots we see a few times in season 2). They’re still going forward with it, but who knows what it will be vs whatever the original idea might have been.

I mean, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Rangers got axed completely after this. We saw in November that there's a ton of Star Wars poo poo coming out and it's fine if Filoni and Favreau can focus on some others.

VinylonUnderground posted:Ideally new characters, since this is already a lot of the old cast. I'm not disagreeing, but if they do make new characters, I want serious diversity (which was one of my biggest complaints about the sequels): The original series had Chewbacca, r2d2 and c3p0 as main characters. Rebels have Hera, Zeb and Chomper Heck even Mando has some amazing alien and robot work. Less humans and more aliens and droids.
