The Mandalorian (TV series)

He also writes most of the Visual Dictionary books.

It's probably not good business to neg your most well meaning fans online, and I'm sure Pablo will have gotten an earful about it, but the quote I saw could have been interpreted multiple ways if one was being generous.
"Emotions are not for sharing" could just mean he wouldn't ever be comfortable filming something like that of himself. That being said, it wasn't a well thought out response regardless of intention.

 

[Treadwell]

My bad... Pablo, if I remember correctly, was basically a guy that knew a lot about SW, LUCASFILM kinda recognized it & gave him some online job, maybe with fan interaction or something. From there, he just rose up the ranks.

(full disclosure: the following is twinged with sour grapes )

He made a website in 1997 listing the Special Edition changes. It was one of only two worth mentioning that existed at the time.

The other one was mine. Somehow, through fate, luck, or perhaps him taking self-promotional steps behind the scenes that I did not, he got noticed by LFL and got a job.

...and I did not. Story of my life. #charliebrown

toos? or Pablo?

I guess I should have been more specific. I meant Pablo. I understand that there are a billion youtubers out there doing reaction videos, I'm not shocked if I don't recognize one of them.

I meant this Pablo guy, that is apparently a lucas film big wig, that I've never heard of. lol

He actually started writing content for WEG's RPG back in the late 80s/early 90s, that I know of. The guy was basically a walking, talking wookieepedia before such things existed, he eventually was hired to keep track of storylines etc back when GL licensed basically everything as long as it didn't overlap with the films... A "history group" was created for him to lead when Disney bought everything, to keep track of ancillary content just as he'd done before, or something to that effect... with the canon reset and modern databases etc I'm not sure he is so relevant anymore.

Technically correct, but story is post ROTJ events (5 years) so the events post DS destruction at the Battle of Endor are a major influence to the storyline. The first episode of season 2 also strongly references it.

So I think it fits.

Yeeeahh... nah. by that logic, let's chuck Vader and the Emperor in there too!

I just remembered the job he got initially was webmaster of starwars.com.
If he had already been writing for WEG years before, though, that's another feather in his cap for achieving that.
That would make me feel better, if not for the fact that the editor of WEG's "Star Wars Adventure Journal" had a piece of mine in the pipeline when the magazine ceased publication. What did I say about my life?

I just wanted to add that this isn't the first time since the Sequels started that Lucasfilm employees have attacked fans. Previously they attacked fans as racist, misogynist, etc. if they didn't like the Sequels. Now there were some people who were that attacking Rose, Finn, etc., but they went after everyone who didn't like the Sequels as "toxic fans". There's a reason you keep your company neutral and don't have people out expressing political or social opinions (unless that's the focus of your company) so you don't anger large portions of your customers.

All social media is a toxic wasteland...

Like everything, social media like Twitter is what you make of it. There are loads of well informed and polite users on there, you just have to find them.

Can you judge a person by the company they keep?
