I should have worded that more clearly.  He was causing trouble on the set during the filming of Season 2, so before Season 2 was released.  
Basically he was upset about not getting any "facetime" on screen and being upstaged by Yermit the Frog-Swaller.  

My understanding from the online sources is that now he's pretty much kept separated from the rest of the cast and reduced to reading lines of script to be dubbed in.  
How true that is...who knows?  Pretty easy to cut loose an actor shits where he eats and doesn't show their face onscreen, though.

Looks like the Get Woke, Go Broke is strong with this one.


What was he doing to cause trouble on the set in season one?

That's what I don't get.  If it was someone like James Gandolfini on The Sopranos or Bryan Cranston on Breaking Bad I could understand a studio bending over backwards to accommodate their lead actor if they started to act like a diva.

However, when your diva lead actor is so unnoteworthy that their biggest claim to fame is appearing in 8 episodes of Game of Thrones, all you're using is their voice, and their voice isn't even that distinctive I don't understand why you wouldn't just replace him.   Especially if that lead actor calls a large portion of your fanbase nazis.

He had a lead role in three seasons of Narcos.

From a PR standpoint, the number of fans that would actually see his comments and care is probably pretty small.

Regarding the discussion of what was in the story book and what was in the movie, I dug this out of my kids’ bookshelf. They must have stolen it from me at some point. Some stuff in the book that isn’t in the movie is mildly interesting for anyone that cares.

Copyright 1978





So it has Luke observing the space battle over Tatooine




Luke and Biggs talking on Tatooine



Escape pods are for humans only



R5 just shit the bed. Artoo had nothing to do with it. In this book anyway.



One interesting thing is that Gold Leader said he knew Luke’s father.



And the most interesting difference to me is that in the book Luke is Gold 5, not Red 5. It’s says it several times on the next page too.

Just have a scene where his face is disfigured and you can use someone else going forward in case you need to take the helmet off.

Personally though...for starfighers I just love the X-Wing.

https://wallup.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/23907-Star_Wars-Cross_Section-X-wing.jpg



I always thought the X Wing looked a bit like the fighters from the original Battlestar Galactica.


Ralph McQuarrie worked on the concept art for both....and some of the BG art was adapted for Buck Rogers.

This was a concept for the BG Viper....


And then went full circle with this BG Viper concept....


With the Red Ace from SW Resistance....

I guess it depends on how much stunt acting has been done, and who's been doing it, but whoever is behind the Mando armor has done a really great job expressing emotion through subtle body movements and gestures.

This is called anthropomorphism, the attribution of human characteristics or behavior to a god, animal, or object.

You assume frog lady is going to raise all those eggs. For all we know, the she may subscribe to practices seen in nature, like dumping the fertilized embryos in a pond to fend for themselves or raising them herself, but letting the strongest one survive.

OK - do you recall an old WWII movie that the Endor rebel attack in the deflector dish bunker scene was based on?
I swear Ronald Reagan had some minor bit part as an OSS agent, although it was mostly British SOE and commandos doing the raid.
And a nazi officer in the bunker called the commando or SOE leader “British scum” or WSTTE.
The commando uniforms were the same (they’re based on WWII British commando or marines anyways)  
I know I saw the movie once, and it was another - “that’s from Star Wars moment” ( or really the reverse).   But cannot find it on any lists of WWII movies, or credited to Reagan in IMDb.

Mostly British actors (aside from any French or Germans).  Reagan - if he was in it was just a bit part, maybe even worked in like they did with Raymond burr for US audiences.

What would have caused the scars? The helmet?

If anything, there should be mega hat head and some other side effects from a lifetime of helmet wearing, but probably not scars.

Training? Maybe they get their armor/helmet when they graduate into being a full member of the clan or whatever. I don't know, there was no canon about them when I was still interested in Star Wars, except whatever was in the KOTOR games.

I would assume you would train as you fight. A helmet is PPE, after all.

And if there's anything that such a habit would do to someone, it would prevent the kind of otherwise common facial injuries that would cause scarring... unless he experienced a trauma that overcame the helmet's protection.

Possibly some vitamin D issues as well, but I digress.

I guess I imagine in a nomadic warrior society that adopts orphans they would start training in unarmored hand to hand combat at a young age and progress from there, sort of like the Spartans (or a less disciplined/soldierly version of Soldier with Kurt Russel) leaving ample opportunity for some scarring/broken noses/whatever. Unless they have little kid versions of the armor, which would be very Disney.

Here is some Star Wars useless trivia for you - did you know the guy that played Lobot on Cloud City, John Hollis, also played the bald German soldier that took the bags in from the car that Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson got out of in front of the Chateau, as well as carry them up to the room in the Chateau, in The Dirty Dozen.

Friend at work had an interesting theory about the eggs.

Baby yoda could sense that they were not going to survive in the tank so he's incubating them himself and will burp them up when they arrive at their destination. Notice when he ate the spider he chomped away and bit that thing in half but he slurps the eggs, seemingly eating them whole so they'd be intact when they hit his stomach.

This is what I think also...

Watched an episode of Rebels this morning with my son, and now I have a new theory on who Sasha Banks is going to be playingKetsu Onyo: Ketsu Onyo was a Mandalorian bounty hunter and an old friend of Sabine Wren.

Interesting thought.  To me it Makes more sense for Sabine if Bo is in the story but Filoni really loves the esoteric call backs, so the Ketsu call back also could be very plausible.
