Why would they include Mon Mothma, the leader of the Rebel Alliance then?
I prefer the older designs for the trandoshans. These ones looked too human-like to me, a more lizardly one would be less uncanny.

Not sure why they included Mon Mothma, but her and Iden being included likely means the Mando seals some help from the Rebs/New Republic.
As for the outfits for Trandoshans, IIRC we've only ever seen Bossk before in live-action, and that was for all of a minute or so. Rather hasty to judge the new get-ups based on that.
Before I forget, we have now a fanfic discussion, recommendation, and ideas thread in the Creative Writing subforum.
I judge the costumes based on what has been established by previous material from the EU and such. Then again, that retard in charge Kennedy ordered that thrown out. But who knows, maybe they gave the costumes an overhaul.

The Falklands are Serbian, you cowards.
The latest shitty take on the failure of the sequels. I mean, fuckin lol who on the right wing actually liked this movie? The latest Star Wars film satisfies the right wing. Will the left sta…
If you're masochistic enough to slog through this entire new post to Jeff Bezos' blog, it never actually says that right-wingers like the new movie (which, in fact, it seems everyone hated regardless of their politics), just that the new movie by definition panders to the right by backing away from the woke stuff.
(And really, did TROS even back away from the woke stuff? Everything bad about The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker was due to its stupid, mindless writing. Any amount of perfunctory wokeness was purely secondary. What mystifies me is why Leftists got so defensive about the TLJ simply because it had a purple haired Assistant Manager of the Resistance and a fat space mall cop in it... but then they also got defensive about Obama, a Steve Urkel neoliberal LARPing as a Weatherman, who made no effort to deliver them anything.)
This garbage post is a concentration of leftist culture war cliches— for example the idea that as long as the movie backed away from the woke stuff that this satisfies the Right, regardless of whether the Right actually liked the movie on its apolitical merits or not. Please note that this is unironically how much of the pop culture war left actually does seem to evaluate the worth of pop culture content.
And, of course, fucking turbo-lol at Jeff Bezos' blog claiming that left-wing Star Wars fans just don't have as much of a platform as right-wing ones... this is literally being said on a major corporate media platform.

I don’t recall TROS actually being particularly political?
It was pretty uh generic overall?
Its basically a methamphetamine trip on camera combined with absurd contrivance after contrivance, that leads to an all too predictable ending that is by no means compelling, exciting or interesting.

That guy has no idea whatsoever of what he's writing about. For these still unaware, Reylo is the shipping name of Rey and Kylo.
"If you're not on our side, then you must be on theirs!" Classic cultural marxist response.

Modern SJWism doesn't care about content, its about political messaging and representation.

So finally seeing the Mandalorian... it was a pretty good TV series.
The fact I waited a few weeks between it being released and actually watching it though meant a few things were spoiled for me
The main thing that was spoiled of course was the whole Baby Yoda thing thanks to the plethora of memes and stuff that populated the internet, but that wasn't a big deal. The other thing was that with the series being as talked up as it was while I thought it was good, it wasn't quite the best thing since sliced bread that I felt I was expecting with such positive buzz coming from it from both fans and my friends.
Another thing I guess in retrospect I shouldn't of been surprised by was I thought it'd be darker, especially with how the trailers and such presented it. But while it was a bit more grittier, it was still very Star Wars in tone, though obviously more Original Trilogy in flavor then Prequel or Sequel. The nostalgia was great but certainly not overwhelming. Each of the stories was great and fun and engrossing to watch. I loved the subtle nods to the lore in regards to 'disintegrations' and 'Mandalorian Iron' and how the lore and canon has been adapted over the years.
It was super fun and thankfully like everything else on Disney Plus apparently, kid friendly. Definitely a good TV series, though I wouldn't say it was as great as I was expected it to be. But it did a great job with all of the action, character arcs, witty dialogue, and humor and settings and so forth. There were a few plot head scratchers but nothing that seemed justified beyond nitpicking.

Well star wars has been rather controversial in it's products since tlj. A lot of long time fans hated what Disney was doing to it.
So amidst all the vitriol and fans attacking fans this show came out and... no one hated it. In fact everyone kinda liked it.
So even though it's not the best show out there people could come together after years of civil war and declare "this is a great show!" and just be star wars fans again.
It's the one bright spot in the mess that is Disney star wars where they didn't screw it up.
Thus the over hyped nature of the show.

Combined with the fixation the DT films have with objects over characters ... it might be more than coincidence.
Rumors that Star Wars Rebels will be getting a sequel/continuation series. One of the Youtubers that does SW lore just had a short three minute video on it.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
500 million disappointment.

I’m pretty sure SJWs can’t really tell the difference and just say “Star Wars has always been about Social Justice” same as superhero comics, TBF I think most comicbook writers and artists are/were already Left Wing, so is George Lucas and Mark Hamil
There’s no difference to them between Trump with Palpatine and ANTIFA with The Resistance

I vaguely recall Lucas stating once the Empire was an example of what a post-Nixon government could be, or some crap like this.

I think I heard Palpatine’s rise was also alluded to being like Bush’s election
Honestly, I think things only really got more blatant in the 2010s in terms of villains=YOU RIGHT WINGERS ARE ALL NAZI’s sort of stuff
Hollywood types say a lot of shit, usually to seem as virtuous as possible. Now they're locked into it.

Lucas political beliefs were always a weird admixture.
With plenty of liberalism but also stuff like “a dictator can get things done”, and a strange new age Methodist fusion religious/spiritual world view.
