    They've likely recorded most - if not all - of Season 1 by now, so Leia getting recast just isn't happening, piss-poor judgment on the actreess' part notwithstanding.

    The Empire was also comfortable destroying people's careers and lives for holding "unfavorable" opinions and daring to express them.

    I'm curious what the significance of the gold trooper is. Maybe they're connected to Phasma somehow?
    I'm hoping Phasma has a bigger role here than she's had in the movies, Gwendoline Christie was horribly underused in the movies.

    Ask me again in six months if I'd rather Star Wars was the government and not a privately-owned media franchise.

    No one's advocating that her life be destroyed, but nice false equivalence with Star Wars content.

    For me it's less about what she said and more about the lack of good judgement on display. I mean if she managed to embarrass the company before the show has even aired, what's to say she won't do it again? That makes her a potential liability and The Mouse does not like to be embarrassed. Just ask James Gunn.
    (Just to curtail the inevitable response: No, I don't agree that he should have been fired, quite the opposite. The fact remains that Disney has a very low tolerance for employees that they think are making them look bad in the press.)

    ^Plus it's a lot easier to recast a voice actor than to replace the director of your next potential blockbuster.
