Ahsoka trailer

[Zardnaar]

None of which addressees the points I picked out - but yes it's problematic-as-hell that this Black American has decided all Maoris are dark-skinned and clearly darker-skinned than any white people when that's never been the case - if he at least supported his case with quotes from Maori people concerned about the issue we'd be going somewhat, but he doesn't. But certainly using a white American actor isn't really kosher, it's not like they couldn't possibly have found a New Zealand Maori voice actor.

A better critique if anything would be the appropriation involved in using a faux-Maori facial tattoo on Hunter to make him look more "tribal" which is problematic, but bizarrely he doesn't go for that.

Maori here have a list of acceptable tattoos others can get. So its not really cultural appropriation unless they're directly copying the authentic types.
Mostly about genealogical type tattoos which are the facial ones.

Interesting, I'll read up on that!

There’s nothing particularly Māori about Hunter’s facial tattoo. It’s just meant to make half his face look a bit skull-like (but in black instead of white).

Also, I hadn’t actually read that specific page re: unwhitewashing Bad Batch. Just some other articles that mentioned it. The real point I’m trying to make is that I’m not the only one who thinks Omega is white.

But this thread is meant to be about Ahsoka, so we are seriously derailing it right now.

There's slwsys a certain amount of drift as tge shows are all linked now.
Is it confirmed Omega is a Jango clone?

Yup its basically online loudmouth with no idea how things work.

Wife checked the laws and any amount of Maori ancestry here you can legal identify as a Maori.

Not to obsessed about color here.v

Just rewatching the trailer again. I don’t think that Baylan and Ahsoka are in the World Between Worlds in that one scene. It looks more like a starmap projected on a domed ceiling to me.

Also, when Ahsoka is fighting the masked warrior with the double-saber, there’s a distinctly male-sounding grunt when she Force pushes her opponent back, so I think that might be a third person, not Hati or Skoll.

Yes. As I mentioned upthread, Tech analyzes Omega’s DNA in season 1 and concludes that she’s an unadulterated Fett clone.

Maybe not down there in Dunedin.

One of my players is Maori he could walk down the street in London or New York and pass for white.

My dad is white British and has darker skin that Temuera.

I just hope I can enjoy this without having seen the other shows. But from the discussion here, it's clear I'll just avoid the threads about it, I guess.

Obviously I have not seen the show yet, so I can't answer your question. I think I can safely say that if you do enjoy it, your enjoyment will be enhanced if you have the backstory from Clone Wars and Rebels.
