She will always be Starbuck to me

what an awesome mess of a character. god I love her.

She was a pretty good Starbuck, but nothing comes close to Dirk Benedict to me. Hearing the name Starbuck instantly pops in an image of Dirk in his uniform, jacket unbuttoned, smoking a stogie and gambling.

Probably because I'm old.

Me too. Saw the cast at a comic con and they looked so dejected and tired I just couldn't walk up and say hi. Imagine a middle-aged dude coming up and saying, "I loved you guys when I was a little kid!" Yikes.

It's a disney product, the character exists to sell subscriptions.

Don't forget about merchandise

Preach Star wars isn't any different than any other disney product. Empty, soulless corposlop. All the art and meaning twisted only to serve capital.

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Star Wars did it long before it was owned by Disney. Empire and Return were basically made to sell toys.

Self-esteem turmoil is brutal, especially when it comes to a pursuit you’re passionate about.

She played the character really well FWIW, so hopefully her next project brings back her confidence.

Her character really didn’t do all that much ..
