So, like Charles “Chuck” Cunningham, she was just written out, not killed or removed from reality “in-story”.

 

[Aeson]

I think removed from reality might be better. It's an alternate universe/timeline sorta like Star Trek and the Kelvin timeline.

If they HAVE to use a female lead I think she should be a junior officer. If they stick with the current timeline, Poe Dameron should be the squadron's commander with Wedge Antilles his superior. But the Rogue Squadron books have great characters, and good adventures. Just adapt the books. Their biggest antagonist is a woman so I doubt they would do that.

Patty Jenkins is going to direct Star Wars Rogue Squadron. I know they'll go with a female lead. It's a forgone conclusion. I don't want them replacing existing characters like Wedge Antilles or Corran Horn. They can't use Jaina Solo because she doesn't exist anymore. I haven't read the comics or played the video games. They may have other characters they could use. I enjoyed the novels. I hope they don't screw up the movie.
The actor that played Wedge is still around, he was even in Rise of Skywalker for one scene.

I honestly have no problem with a female lead. Speaking of which... I'm looking forward to the Ahsoka Tano series. I like Rosario Dawson and liked the version of her that showed up in the Mandalorian.

Dawson did awesome portrayal on Mandalorian. I was doubtfull of anyone pulling live action Ahsoka, but she did seriously good.

 

[Aeson]

Ahsoka is one thing, replacing established characters is another. Female leads are fine, but the latest trend replacing men just for the hell of it is problematic.

Some of the players in my gaming group made characters for Mindjammer yesterday. Must say that it was THE most complicated version of FATE Core that I have ever seen. And the layout of the book wqas less than clear. Will be very interesting to see how well the game plays, as the kitchen sink approach to transhumansim makes Warhamemr 40k almost look sane in comparison.

The characters so far:

• One sentient spacehsip made out of a huge tree. The body might be 1000 years old, but the mind is 10-15.. Of course it has an avatar that cna accompany us on missions..
• My character is a plant-based humanoid. Can best be described as a carnivorous nymph. She's an explorer from the same world as the spaceship. Sort of the captain aboard.
• One commonality human who is a hacker. I think the character was a bit steampunkish french marquiesse.
• One commonality human that likes to upgrade other beings. Defintetly not concerned with why he shouldn't do something.
• Some kind of old intelligence stuck in the body of a robotic butler.

The last three characters all have longevity to various degrees. I don't think any of us are very good in combat.

I don't see anything that screams fighter there. Looks like one of them could create fighting henchmen. Does the tree ship say I am Groot? Could he fight like Groot?

"Hey, look at that, we're men that hench"

The ship can fight in shipform, but unknown how good the avatar is. I think the ship had a rather large crew though, also plant-based. We sill see when we start playing. I do not think the ship will say "I am Groot." The guy that liked to upgrade things had some autonomous weapon of sorts. It is better at fighting than he is, not that that says much.

My way of fighting (only applicable against organical beings that have a sense of smell) would be to unleash a cloud of pheromones to distract all susceptible targets in a whole zone, then use paralyzing touch on them. Then I can bite, or have the others take out the victims (from a distance).

Watched the new Mulan. Not enough singing during training montages and not enough little dragons making bad puns. Otherwise it was ok.

 

[Aeson]

I can do without the singing but there must be a sarcastic punny dragon.
