"The force existing all around us" is something that comes from George Lucas himself, idk what this article is complaining about. It's a far more compelling universe if everyone exists on a spectrum of force sensitivity ranging from Sabine all the way up to Anakin. It like the idea and think it aligns with what George was trying to do with the PT era and showing how the jedi weren't ways right, didn't have a monopoly on the force, and that just because you couldn't leap from buildings and weird a Lightwave didn't mean you could open yourself to the force. It's meant to be a somewhat mystical, unknowable mechanic of the Star Wars universe.

Part of me definitely wishes we had gotten to the galaxy by episode 2 and had instead had the character-focuaed stuff be happening in a far more exciting context. It's given me the same sort of annoyance I would get when you're trying to leave town for a road trip only to keep getting delayed by needing gas, getting hungry, having to pee, etc.
I thought Hayden melded aspects of Matt Lanter's performance from TCW so well! It felt like he was both prequel Anakin and Clone Wars Anakin, delivering "snips" perfectly while also channeling his campy sith stare from Ep III.
Meanwhile casually ignoring the extradjudicial assassination of American citizens too. So much for our legal system and rights.
On isolated, super rural areas where you're the only person on a dirt road for miles, I think it might be unavoidable during parts of the year or if the road is really intensive to bike (steep, sharp curves for example) BUT that's where you should be able to drive to your village or town center and pick up the 15-30 minute regional train.
Likewise that would mean the people closer to town who might already be walking to the barber or liquor store would also be able to walk to the station if they needed to go farther.
This is the ideal. I think a problem also comes up because I think a lot of people (DMs included) feel like "peak Dnd" is when you could in theory, go anywhere and do anything your party wants, and you just need to review few quick notes and be ready to go.
Neurodivergent people everywhere appreciated how it made them go to being 5 bucks at a gas station instead of 20 + shipping
I believe Kbin already fills that role either as a fork or at least as a similar platform
the specificity is the chaos
It's a pretty common joke for libright people
I think they're probably doing what they did for the Clones, have a set actor for live action and TV. Casting an additional person to play the young Rosario Dawson version prevents that from getting muddied.
