Not that I feel inclined to defend her in the least, but surely being stuck at home the same as the rest of us isn't at all helping people like her susceptible to these brainworms.

Ffs she wasn't fired for "being conservative", Chris Hayes should be ashamed of himself for pushing that narrative. She was fired for a repeated pattern of inflammatory and hateful posts.

Seriously. The obvious retort many have already made is, ok, which "conservative" values did she espouse?

here's a good retort:

Well there were repercussions, and I don’t think she realizes or accepts it’s dumb shit (which is the problem). ...Unless it was a “suicide by cop” move, and she already had this set up

Have been watching a lot of Clone Wars and Rebels with my son recently and wondering if the "can't take my helmet off" thing is unique to this show? As there's lots of Mandalorian themed episodes (especially in Rebels) and no-one seems to have any qualms about removing their helmets.
Think it's remarked upon in The Mandalorian when he first meets Bo Katan and clan along the lines of "oh, he's one of those" but was wondering if it's come up anywhere before in the SW universe?
― groovypanda, Monday, 22 February 2021 12:01 (three years ago) link
yeah just saw the Rebels with the trip to Mandalore and wondered what was going on.

The Way of the Mandalore “was first laid out in the 2019 live-action television series The Mandalorian.”
― stuck in the version layer (morrisp), Monday, 22 February 2021 13:09 (three years ago) link
I finally finished the Mandalorian this weekend and I'm not sorry to see her go. Hardly anyone on this show can act (or, they are asked to act in a way that seems like they cannot) but she was particularly awful.
― akm, Monday, 22 February 2021 16:02 (three years ago) link
I didn't really object to the acting on this show until Bill Burr* came back and basically ran circles around the rest of the cast, at which point I started asking myself "am I really this enthralled by watching Hollywood people impersonate action figures"
* I liked Rosario Dawson as well but... I always like Rosario Dawson, her entire role could have been her farting on a light sabre and I would have been all "wow what nuance to those toots"

― maf you one two (maffew12), Monday, 22 February 2021 16:36 (three years ago) link
if she farted on a light saber I'm pretty sure that would have brought imbalance to the force, and possibly also a cauterized asshole

I liked Carano's character, and I thought she had the right kind of "bad acting" for this show, but I probably wouldn't have followed her to the new Space Rangers (or whatever) series even if she were the coolest person in the world.
― stuck in the version layer (morrisp), Monday, 22 February 2021 17:12 (three years ago) link
when you're lauding Bill Burr as the best thespian in your cast, that's not a great sign for the strength of your ensemble. good thing i didn't come here for the acting; tbh I'd be okay with them bulk recasting everyone every year.

I get that point, but honestly I'm having a really hard time imagining the Star Wars fan that would be excited to sit through two seasons of The Mandalorian and be stoked for season 3, but absolutely refused to watch Book of Boba Fett. Cannot be persuaded that those people exist, even as bad as most of BoBF was.
