I’ve been wondering that since this interview dropped. You can see Dafne panic a little, looking down and tapping her arm rest. Charlie is really fast on the no lightsaber thing though, so I’m not 100% sure.

[@deeobrien5417]

@@Flettwin yeah the reaction feels like it’s kind of telling… I really feel like there’s something really interesting going on with that character, he’s taking my interest the most in these first two episodes, especially when the character kind of puts it out that he’d kind of not too serious but then there’s this flicker of change when he realises she’s the other twin, then back to kind of bumbling when the others come in but at the end the way he’s able to manoeuvre around her moves so smoothly, those are some skills, and I can’t remember if it’s this interview or another one they said he was best at stunts (I’ve watched a bunch since last week) I think daphne and Charlie aren’t the best at keeping spoilers, whereas manny seems a pro (probably from all The Good Place surprises) I’m intrigued. Also knowing how the show runner wrote this character specifically for this actor… I’m really intrigued!

[@KennethDillard]

@9:35 - Are you kidding me? "Star Wars" was always about good versus evil. The Empire basically enslaved an entire galaxy. They blew up a planet. But "it depends on your viewpoint". This is just another example of both the desecration of everything George Lucas created, and how much the people involved at Lucasfilm now have no clue about the IP.

[@preciousotoakhia9789]

But there where good people in the empire and bad people in the rebellion it depends on what a person believes don't forget saw

[@KennethDillard]

@@preciousotoakhia9789 - "Star Wars" isn't "Saw". George Lucas is on record as saying he based "Star Wars" on the hero's journey motif used by Joseph Campbell. There was no grey area. This whole "depends on how you view things" is just more needless Disney meddling, trying to diminish anything Lucas did in his OT.

[@CornyBum]

Yeah, that line irked me, but considering someone young could've had a _very_ different introduction to _Star Wars,_ *especially* if entering via Disney's _Star Wars,_ it is a _little_ more understandable. (Just as an example with something even pre-Disney, imagine if someone first got into _Star Wars_ via the _Knights of the Old Republic_ games, especially the second one, haha. Whether or not they're canonical wouldn't matter when it comes to the impact.) The line's still something of a red flag, but as various productions in the Disney _Star Wars_ age introduce more nuanced and sympathetic portrayals of villains (which I personally love as I've grown older, by the way, while still loving the good ol' hero's journey and good vs. evil grand space opera), this is gonna be more and more understandable and true, despite the IP's original storytelling.
