Star Wars

[Thad]

I watched the first Ahsoka and the most exciting thing about it is the shouting matches I'm picturing between Disney producers.

"We're spending how much money on a live-action sequel to a cartoon for twelve-year-olds?"

"Don't worry about it! People will watch anything that says 'Star Wars' on it!"

As for the episode itself, it was...well, it was kinda like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home, in that on the one hand it was kinda nice seeing everybody again but on the other hand there comes a point where I feel like I'm being pandered to a little too hard and, like, wouldn't this be better if people could enjoy it without knowing all these references to earlier stuff?

I know the first Star Wars character to debut in a cartoon and transition to live action was Boba Fett, but is [Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan] the first time they brought back the same actor who originated the role as a cartoon voice to play it in live-action? I'm not counting the disembodied voices in Episode 9, though they were a nice touch; I'm talking actors appearing onscreen.

I guess Clancy Brown as Ryder Azadi would be the second. Bit of a weird choice as far as in-universe significance, but if I were to name actors who have prolific careers in both animation and live-action, he'd be at or near the top of the list.

(Corey Burton, Steve Blum, and David Tennant have also reprised their animated roles -- Cad Bane, Zeb, and Huyang, respectively -- in live-action series, but that's not quite what I'm talking about since none of them actually appeared onscreen.)

I just realized I've never watched Star Wars in English.

I have absolutely no memory of blue milk being in Star Wars

You can see it when Beru pours right at the start of the clip, and then through the containers.

It's been there since the start, but wasn't really, uh, highlighted, until Luke poured it all over his beard in Last Jedi.
