Cara Dune

There's a couple lines from fight club...

Tyler Durden: How’s that working out for you?
Narrator: What?
Tyler Durden: Being clever.
Narrator: Great.
Tyler Durden: Keep it up, then.

You can be smarter than one dumb bastard, but it's much harder to be smarter than a million dumb bastards.
 
I'd consider Kathryn Hahn of Agatha Harkness fame if they wanted to reintroduce her.

Doubt she'd do her own stunts though.

Is there recoil on a heavy blaster?

A weakling can fire the syfy laser equivalence of a tank busting bazooka, without effort, or damage.

Being ripped is irrelevant.

It would be to much of a copy of the Cara Dune character. It would be like the Dukes of Hazard trying to get away with replacing the main characters with Coy and Vance right down to them wearing the same clothes.

If you don't bring back the real Cara Dune you might as well go in another direction with a different type of character. Or IMO just extend the role of the Bill Burr character. Even though I like Cara Dune I really liked his character even better.

Sounds sensible to me.
 
I like the idea of using Kathryn Hahn in Star Wars but not as a recasted Cara Dune. Like the idea of her being a teacher that Mando hires because Grogu is still a child and he needs school. She also can handle herself in a fight with a assortment of knives and a blaster.
 
Cara Dune was only a mildly interesting character at best.

She had a whiff of an interesting backstory, but also some things that didn't make any sense.

To whit: she was supposedly a big hero of the rebellion, but then apparently got in trouble with the New Republic and is/was wanted by them.

For a former war hero to go to being wanted by the new government would require a fuck-up and or criminal act on such an epic level that basically there's no way she's actually a good person. But the show just ignored all of those implications.

Then she gets back in the good graces of the New Republic and becomes a marshall. Which is fine, but again they're just ignoring whatever bad stuff she did to get on the shit list in the first place.

Anyway, ramble aside and real world actress considerations aside, she was acceptable enough as a recurring character, but not remotely essential to the show and it's perfectly fine if she never shows up again.

She isn't remotely compelling enough to bother bringing her back in another form, either via recasting or animation.

The fact that Carano arguably tanked a spinoff show in which she was set to star is pretty funny.

But if you're really that much of a fan, Galaxy's Edge just recently started selling a Dune-esque "new republic marshal" badge, so the character's legacy lives on in a small way (even though her action figure will never be re-released.)

Why? He's one of the more interesting supporting characters on the show. It's a low bar to clear, to be sure, but he did a good job and they actually gave the character some interesting layers/backstory.

To use your terms, he's mildly interesting, if I'm generous. More bluntly, he's an irritating character who adds little.

Sweet! Marshals of the New Republic coming soon, staring Timothy Oliphant.
 
Bill Burr was mildy irritating in Season 1, Season 2 he was quite good.
Will miss Cara in Season 3. Just for the fact of representation, She was a larger muscular woman, and there are alot of women like that, and as any other "Group" its nice to see someone like you on TV in a staring role. Owell.
 
I'm all for more Cad Bane and Goggins but why not have Goggins in addition to Bane. If they want to bring back Danny Trejo and give that character something to do with more depth then I would be fine with that as well. Also Captain Phasma isn't dead yet or ever if they plan to erase the Sequel trilogy. Not a fan of the Sequels but their is some characters within them that have potential.
 
Why would you think Disney wants to erase the sequel trilogy? It's a Disney product and they still want to sell it rather than undermine it.

Around 2020 there was this guy on another forum who proclaimed confidently that Obi-Wan ( probably still believed to be a film at that point ) was going to retcon Rebels. I went back looking for the post recently and couldn't find it; I imagine he deleted it. It just didn't make sense that Disney would excise their own product from canon when they still want to make money off it.
 
They can still sale it but sale it in parts. A new altered future means you can bring the old characters back in a different context. One maybe even more popular. Much like what happened to the prequels. "The Clone Wars" took elements from it and improved on it. If you get ride of the Sequels you still have the characters but not the locked in future that has to happen because it said it happened in the movies.

The Kelvinverse in Trek already did this only they knew they couldn't just erase the Prime universe because fans would go nuts. They got to reboot TOS without having to stay exactly in line with what those characters did in the Prime Universe so now Vulcan can blow up and Spock and Uhura can be in love and things like that. Comic books of course do this as well often resetting their universes but keeping the characters though tinkering with them and making changes to them as well.
 
Also, indirect references to the ST have turned up in the Disney+ shows, such as references to Canto Bight and the use of vehicles from the ST.

*looks at calendar*
Yup, I was just wondering how it could be 2022, and yet feel like 2002 arguments against the PT.

Just like the PT, the ST is here to stay. It might take 20 years to accept that fake but thems the breaks.
 
They wouldn't be fake. I mean they would still be on DsineyPlus. People I assume even have them on DVD. They just wouldn't be part of canon. With Kennedy leaving soon it will also I guess depend on the vision of the new person in charge. Whoever that might be.
