Fair enough, I'm not. Zero, and I mean zero sympathy for the illiterate. Absolutely no excuse for it
And that's a problem.

Having a society-spanning belief that "everyone should be literate" is one thing.

Pointing towards those who are in fact illiterate as "the problem" and punishing them, rather than the system that led to them remaining illiterate is quite another.

Like do you think those people chose to remain illiterate from a young age?

I wouldn't even go that far. It's a set of tropes that feed into the making of a genre. Whether it's good or not depends on the effort of the writers.

You sure about that?
I saw the original tweet and her follow up to it several hours later. In that context her words make more sense. Seeing just the two first tweets seems sloppier than is usual for her.

Should I know or care who this person is, or what her opinion of a cartoon is?
She's a film and literary critic and has been doing her thing for well over a decade. I'm a fan of her videos. If you want to learn more, I suggest her series on the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies. Got her nominated for an award.

The problem is the positive versus negative approach.

We all want elections with informed voters.

The positive approach is to get out there and educate.

The negative approach is to punish if one isn't educated enough.

So do you feel the voting age should be higher, or lower?
16, but I'd be willing to go as low as 13.

What magically makes people "ready" at that age, more so than being actually informed would?
Nothing. That's the point.

Restriction of voting was only ever done to remove people considered "unworthy" of voting. Once you start to view people as unworthy of being part of the process, you start making excuses.

Reading Lindsay's further tweets, she was making a comment on Raya's narrative and setting structure and its resemblance to TLA.

People seem to take it as she means Raya is ripping off TLA in "being Asian".

lol I don't know why I keep looking up who these characters are in the comics. Feels like I'm just reading ahead for no reason.

Or maybe I'm just hoping they take what's in the comics and do it different.

Anyway, this was an episode that existed. I think my favorite exchange was the "Big Three" talk.

Yeah I disagree with Darmik that resurrection happens all the time, even factoring in Legends, as long as we're discounting Force Ghosts, the only real ways characters come back is "wasn't actually dead" or "had a clone".

As far as Legends goes, I can only think of Thrawn and Ysanne Isard.

Eh? The dejarik scene was in ANH and there was no talk about the Emperor there. He was alluded to in the big Imperial brass meeting, and then there was the holocall with Vader in ESB.

That's where the reference books and EU stuff comes in.

They're the only reason we have so much knowledge about OT and PT characters, anyway.

So far theres no way to know whether or not the inclusion of the local perspectives was done accurately, faithfully, or tastefully.
I agree, but there are indications based on what we've seen so far.

The press content that was released last month was the start of the controversy. I can't imagine the people in the company were blind to the reaction of making this game resurface.

It's been a month since then and this is what the company believes is most important in telling the press now; gameplay functions and procedural generating. Not the story, not the people being portrayed or followed.

To paraphrase another war-based work, I have a bad feeling about this.
