  • I don’t think Disney gets why Jedi dress the way they do. That’s in large part the fault of George Lucas who definitely didn’t understand why Jedi dress the way they do.

    We meet Obi-wan, a former warrior monk, living in exile on Tatooine, he’s wearing this threadbare brown robe. Clearly, a lot of inspiration was taken from desert nomadic and ascetic religious traditions. Then what is Obi-wan wearing in Episode 3 at the height of the Republic era? The robes he was wearing for his 20-year desert exile on Tatooine!

    Now a hundred years before obi-wan is born all the Jedi are wearing the same brown robes?!

    I’m looking at the Acolyte costumes now and all the leather bits look totally fresh, no creases or signs of use. Are the jedi ascetics with a utilitarian dress code? How come they all dress like a desert nomad while they have their base of operations on a megalopolis city world? I don’t fucking know.


  • The show isn’t good, but not for the reason the reactionaries believe, and it’s not offensively bad.

    Why shouldn’t there be an interpretive dance scene in some random little star wars show? Have we crossed some threshold here? None of the people criticizing the witch dance scene have even left their stinky gamer chairs in the last 10 years.

    The costume work on this show is incredibly mid. I really dislike the mass-produced white Jedi order robes that they wear at the temple, they look maybe one step above a Jedi Halloween costume. We’re supposed to believe this is the Jedi Order at its zenith and the robes are just so drab without any character.

    spoiler

    There could have been an interesting show here if some different choices were made. I would have liked it better if the Jedi didn’t immediately know about the witch coven and what they were up to. They had the perfect opportunity for a classic twin-mixup plotline where the bad twin could be the one saved from the destruction and has to keep it secret from the Jedi that they are an inducted witch and force-wielder in order to survive.



  • Seeing these perennial $25000 per plate democratic event attendees posting on shitter how happy and relieved they are that they got to an event and didn’t see any protestors because the police had cordoned off so many streets surrounding the event.

    No fucking way, dawg. These people don’t deserve peace for even a second. Not at their elite get-togethers, not at their homes, not at their workplaces where they do most of the evil. No justice, no peace.
