Cue Awkwafina

Oh gawds please no.

Cue Awkwafina

I'm pretty sure that I specify the actress in question should have actual comedy chops

I'm pretty sure that I specify the actress in question should have actual comedy chops

Some people think she has them. I mean she wasn't totally bad in Shang Chi, honestly

Look, it’s her or Ali Wong, that’s all we have in stock right now. I can do you a Ronny Chieng in drag for a couple of weeks if that works for you, but then he has to go back to The Daily Show.

 

[Reynard]

Olivia Munn for Aphra!

 

[jian]

Olivia Munn for Aphra!

Yeah, that’s a good pick. I like Awkwafina but she’s quite wrong for Aphra and there’s no way Vader wouldn’t have choked her out within five minutes of meeting her.

 

[gnarlygninja]

That ship has sailed and JEJ made that deal knowingly.

I'm aware, but that doesn't make me any more excited about it.

 

[gnarlygninja]

She was genuinely very good in The Farewell.

 

[Eric V]

That would cause a bunch of crybabies would start crying as soon as they announce a non-white actress playing Dr. Aphra

Which means they should definitely do it

She wasn't white though, was she?

 

[Older Beholder]

She was genuinely very good in The Farewell.

Yeah, that film got me in the feels.
Zendaya is also usually great. Most recently I loved her performance in 'The Drama'
It's almost like the criticisms of both have nothing to do with acting.

Getting back to some Star Wars talk, I'm excited for The Baby Yoda movie starting this week. I'm thinking of taking Friday off so I don't have to deal with the weekend crowds.
