<strong>STAR WARS: REBELS</strong> (animated tv series) - a general discussion thread
Time

The older I become the less interest I have in seeing human-like aliens in sci-fi/space fantasy/space opera/whatever. What's the point? Why not have these races be "removed" humans and save yourself make-up and special effects time? Sometimes it's necessary and works, as in Mass Effect.

In other words, yes, I would prefer Thrawn be human, as well as this Inquisitor fellow. For one because aliens are usually pointless, and second because of the Empire's standards as darklordoftech addressed.

You're equating name origins with visual consistency between actors who are supposed to be playing the same character? I guess, if you want.

And if you're planning to eventually paint this as something that it's not (we both know what I'm referring to; and I'm not accusing you, but only saying): You mentioned race first. My original post was conveniently vague.

Getting back to Star Wars, I'm not sure what kind of visual inconsistency you are concerned about in terms of casting. Or maybe you're not. You were conveniently vague.

There's nobody in particular at the moment who's in danger of being miscast, as in a pre-existing character. Most of these characters will likely be original.

*clears throat*

Can we discuss Star Wars in a reasonable manner? We're on opposite sides of the spectrum, but I don't know why this has to turn into a flame war.

Posters on here insult Lucas out of anger or insult me for trying to present his view. Is he here to defend himself? Well, no. I think he deserves some defense.

I used to parody him in Zombie84's thread on TheForce.net. That was years ago.

I fear that it will be awesome, but continue to reference midichlorians and other small things people hate from the PT, in a way that makes them nearly impossible to edit out because they are made narratively relevant. 

Win.

That sounds like a Twilight Zone-esque scenario, but at the same time a distinct possibility.
