The jedi not being strictly all that "good" isn't all that new and I definitely would've liked to see that explored more, as well as more "neutral" force users, or even something from the perspective of the dark side too. I also don't think this show was as bad as the review bombing made it out to be and on YT you kept just seeing the same rage baiting bigots too but it definitely missed the mark in many areas, despite having some good moments too. Still, a lot of the hate definitely came from the fact that we had a black female main character and some lesbian force witches. That's pretty hard to ignore with how loud those people are.
I still want more something like Andor though. That was still the best Star Wars I've ever seen.
Actually ignoring the ragebait is easy. It exists for everything. The problem is when a TV show/film is weak. It makes the ragebait easy because now they are "right". The issue with the show has nothing to do with it having a black female lead. The story just wasn't that good. The story is still not that good if she were a white dude. It's not end of the world terrible, just mediocre.
Anyway, back to my point. Shitty people have shitty opinions, it's not worth listening to. OMG did you hear what the bigot said? No, was it shitty? It was? I'm not surprised. Stop giving them attention.
I just couldn't believe that after all those years living completely different and separate lives, neither of them changed their hair at all. And since the adult twins were played by the same actor, I couldn't tell them apart aside from clothing.
I do agree they were hard to tell apart. Twins is a cool idea, and their similar appearance could be explained as the force guiding them. However I think fraternal twins might have been better in this situation.
But they weren't even twins...
Lol, ok technically you're right they were the same person, but unless they intended to force merge them at some point I think different actors would have been fine.
They weren't just twins, they were more or less the same person.
