Apparently every bounty hunter helmet in the galaxy looks similar to Boba Fett's?

Introducing Zeb Orellios
Already like him, I get the impression the stormtroopers aren't just canon-fodder here, I like that
Love the look, HATE the voice. And damn it, he has that mischievous Disney looking grin when he's fighting! I hope this isn't space Aladdin...
And who knew Filoni had such a gorgeous pompadour? As a bald guy, I kind of want to slap him for keeping that gorgeous hair under that idiotic cowboy hat :lol
Wow. They're really going out of their way to not feature any female presence in this show. The only female presence I've seen so far is a female mechanic who just happens to be a Twi'lek. Cripes, it's like they actually wanted a female twi'lek to be the ship's mechanic just so they can find an excuse to get her dirtied up every episode. A lack of any mention of her character in these "character" videos doesn't show any signs of promise.

yeah, and both of whom will likely have their own big reveal. Nice call, Jeyl. :/

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet (sorry if they did) but it is believed this is how Vader will look in the new show:

Spare me. We are still dealing with a franchise that, even in the mindset of the 21st century will reduce the only relevant female character of an entire trilogy into a suicidal wife who would rather die than live without her abusive and murdering husband. If you think this series will be any different, just watch the Clone Wars. Ahsoka wasn't even allowed to finish her own mystery that so far looks to be her very last story. Don't want to overshadow Anakin because he's the star of the show. What makes you think this series will be any different with the same folks in charge?

I would take the time to explain why every single thing you just said is wrong but it is obvious that this is a case of haters gotta hate. :facepalm
I feel bad that you are missing out on some of the great and strong aspects of female Star Wars characters. :cry
Really? Because it certainly didn't sound like Padme died of any injuries.

Agreed. Now figure out way your statement is incorrect.
Uh,
"Medically she's completely healthy, but for reasons we can't explain, we are losing her."
Hmm. Force choke wouldn't have done it since Vader has choked officers for much longer AND upon being released they seemed perfectly alright.
"We don't know why. She has lost the will to live."
So despite nothing being wrong her, the robots draw the conclusion that she is literally willing herself to die. How exactly does that make my "didn't sound like Padme died of any injuries" statement incorrect when the medical robot says she has no injuries? I don't think it's unreasonable to bring up the fact that the only female character in the prequel trilogy literally gives up on life, her children and what not. But that's ok, at least she can die knowing that there's "good" in Anakin, because he's all that should matter to her.
And what are you even talking about in regards to "missing out on the strong female characters" in Star Wars? Cripes MJF, the only female character in the Clone Wars series who appears in the original trilogy exists solely for two-minutes and doesn't even have her name spoken allowed.

Nope. Not it. Think it through.

Regardless, how Padme died is largely irrelevant in the greater scheme of things,she was still a strong female character even if she died lamely. Besides, Star Wars is space opera and strong female characters never featured that prominently in the genre so why would you expect there to be a lot of them in the franchise? Sorry, but not every show can be Xena and I'm sure that you ,Jeyl, probably found it lacking in strong female characters too because of her dalliances with male characters like Hercules, Ares, and Caesar and because Gabrielle wasn't the equal of Dena.

MJF, is it really necessary to be picky if your original accusation was "every single thing"?

No, I am content on you being wrong in a non-specific level as well. Your choice.
Funny how even trying to defend a character like Padme, she cannot escape being irrelevant in some way.
Because females are just as capable at being the main character? I can understand how space operas of the past thought this way, but I don't really see what that kind of attitude should be excused now. If you're really going to adhere to the notion that Space Operas should only feature a main cast of people solely because they have a penis is more adhering to the sexist views of that an era more than the genre itself. Heck, does gender even factor into the description of what a Space Opera is?

So where in any of those descriptions does it state that Space Operas are a heavily male focused genre of stories in space? I'm not seeing it, so I think it has more to do with the people who actually create these space operas choosing to use male characters rather than having male characters as a requirement for the genre.
Are you kidding me? Xena is one of the best things out there. She's not some "ALICE" from Resident Evil who can kick so much butt that she is practically invincible. She gets beaten, ridiculed, crucified, body swapped, mentally broken and even killed. Sometimes it took many episodes to get her back on her feat. She makes decisions that are questionable, she doesn't always save the day, but she always reflects on what had transpired. She's got to not only motivate herself to keep going, but also motivate Gabrielle, and their relationship goes has a lot of soul crushing moments. Who she chooses to infatuate with is of no concern of mine if that's what she wants to do. For Padme to be infatuated with Anakin is so unrealistic I literally cringe. Hercules is a pretty awesome guy who has a lot of respect towards Xena, Ares is fun for his devilish mischief in trying to get Xena to join with him, and Caesar? Come on. He's played by Karl Urban. And when he did bad things to her, she didn't get sad or will herself to die. She fought on even without the use of her legs.
In a non-specific level? How can one argue or complain if we use terms in such vague and unspecific ways? This is not productive arguing at all. Skip the commentary and tell me what's on your mind!
