    Lucas: "We need LESS clothing! LESS! Make it just a step above RotJ Oola!"
    Comic books artists: "Okay!"

    I know we're in the off-season, but this is just too much. Setting aside the the unfortunate implications being thrown around about women's appearances, we have a nice and shiny thread for all things Ahsoka, so take that talk there. And by that I mean don't take.... ^^ that talk there.

    The fact that very, very few people talk about the clothing on male characters, is part of what makes this so problematic.

    If Kanan wore baggy pants, would anyone complain? How many people would even notice?

    I didn't notice that Hera's pants were baggy. I was just glad that we finally got a female cartoon/comic character who isn't ONLY known for her midriff and boobs.

    Aayla Secura may be good-looking but that outfit is stupid. And it's not stupid for prudish in-universe reasons. I am all in favor of women dressing however the hell they choose; outside of scenarios such as work, that's the rule I follow for myself.

    The out-of-universe reason--she is drawn in battle with her navel showing, an impractical outfit that male characters never wear to battle, for the sole purpose of objectification.

    I do not want the designers to do that to Hera. She's pretty as she is.

    ETA: Todd, we were posting at the same time; if this post is violating rules I'll drop the subject.

    You know, a thread about a Twi'lek character has descended into pretty much what I think we all expected it to. :p

    Don't get me started with that "other" thread, Todd.

    anakinfansince1983: I was just glad that we finally got a female cartoon/comic character who isn't ONLY known for her midriff and boobs.

    That's the statement of a HATER if there ever was one. AHSOKA IS NOT ONLY KNOWN FOR HER MIDRIFF AND BOOBS. It's those SW fans that need to find something wrong with her that complain about the outfit. If she were wearing the typical boring Jedi robes, people would come up with some other BS argument on her.

    Please take it easy and breathe okay? Let's get back on the topic of Hera. Todd the Jedi is right. This is getting way off topic.

    Jedi Knight Fett

    Didn't you warn me things would get scary around here? :p

    Anyway back to Hera. I wonder what the first starship she ever got to fly was? I mean, she could have flown something before the Ghost.

    That type of behavior isn't allowed on here. I understand your upset but take breather okay? Let's all get back to Hera instead of getting angry at one another.

    I would like to see Hera piloting another ship when they are on a mission to show how great a pilot she is. E.g. a Tie or maybe a prototype X wing?

    We need to see more background of her or her home/family like we keep seeing hints of with Ezra. Same with Kanan given he is a Jedi and survived Order 66.

    Also I understand Hera is the leader, but would be nice to see more of her in the field so to speak with the others. And background on her and Kanan, how that came to be, would be great.

    Read A New Dawn for that background. And just because it's an awesome book.

    I sort of hope Hera named the Ghost, or another ship, the way Asajj named the Banschee. Someone tried to insult her and she co-opted the wannabe-insult for her ship.

    Or she lost the Falcon to Lando in a game of cards. And got the Ghost instead. That's why she is not happy with Lando...

    True, would like to see the history of the Ghost and Hera too.

    She had reason to be unhappy with Lando just in that episode.

    I never said you were baiting. I was talking to another user who responded to you.

    The post was directed to Heero_Yu. In hindsight, I should have just let it go considering that's not a moderator's post.

    I didn't think Hera's pants were anywhere near a big deal. They're like an X-Wing pilot's jumpsuit pants, exactly what I'd expect from a rebel pilot.

    I mean I was fine with most of Padme's more "elaborate" outfits in the PT (although the black bondage outfit that she wore during the "fireplace scene" in AOTC was a bit much). She's royalty and a public figure, so it makes sense that she'd want to project a certain image. But that white midriff outfit, she wore that on a rescue mission (that she knew going in was going to be a rescue mission), which is just dumb. It was like Lucas wanted a "homage" to Leia's white outfit in ESB, but not as good.
