Lit Ignorance is Bias: The Diversity Manifesto

It's 99% total bollocks, with 1% of maybe useful stuff.

The 1% that won't get any attention from said MP or the media are the terrible messages aimed at kids, with particular strands of venom aimed at boys, girls - if a kid feels ill at ease in the box they've been slung into? An extra helping of venom.

But it's been going on for decades, won't stop now and is very, very entrenched.

 

It's a well-known fact that 90% of crime was committed by women before the lady Ghostbusters showed up.

 

Thank you @Immi Thrax for compiling this!

 

I found this tweet interesting regarding the Tuskin's and Star Wars because of the latest Book of Boba Fett episode




and there response in terms of what direction Star Wars is going compared to the other franchise

 

This just reminds me of what a great story Kenobi was and how JJM was out front humanizing Tuskens immediately after ROTS.

Kenobi came out in 2013, eight years after RotS. Or do you mean IU?

 

Don't forget the KOTOR missions if you choose the Light Side.

 

In-universe.

And yeah, KOTOR too. Then later DOTJ gives us a glimpse of Tatooine being conquered by the Rakata.

There's also Tahiri who was raised by Tusken Raiders, going all the way back to the Junior Jedi Knights books in 1995.

 

God it would be great if they bring her back somehow... after TBOBF it't be nice to see some humans among Tusken more regulary and one bridging cultures kinda like Tahiri.

TCW shied away from using A'sharad Hett sadly which was such a great addition to the comics and Anakin's story (before they ruined him in Legacy because they were too afraid to use other characters that could have been Darth Krayt)

That said, a TCW special event, the Kenobi show or flashbacks can still bring A'sharad back! There were some rather cinematic scenes in the comics between Kenobi and him and the Tusken. And it'd be very relevant to Anakin / Vader too maybe.

 

The presumably female Tusken warrior made me think of One Eye from Kenobi.

We seem to be getting Fett in a Hett role with this band of Tuskens.

Boba Fett becomes a Dark Sider post Sequel Trilogy

 

Thought this fitting: “I Will Die on the Hill of a Woman’s Right to Geek” – Danie Ware Talks About Her New Novel - Warhammer Community (warhammer-community.com)

 

They weren't "too afraid" to use other characters as Darth Krayt, it was planned to be Hett from the start.

 

A weird thing happens sometimes where a writer will base a culture on particular real world indigenous cultures or history but seems somehow unable to imagine a different outcome than the real world historical one. I've seen a lot of people comparing what happens to the Tuskens in BoBF to real world communities wiped out by settlers, or to Western movie source material, but the idea that, post-Empire, the Tuskens might be an emergent power on Tatooine and get control of some of their lands was an interesting development that could have borne fruit in future stories - in fact, I had been anticipating that Boba Fett was going to solve some of his, er, staffing issues by enlisting the Tuskens to help drive out the Pykes and gain control of Mos Espa. There's nothing inevitable about the extermination of indigenous communities, and it's boring to keep reinscribing that narrative - makes me wonder why the creators are even interested in touching these issues to begin with.

 

Whether or not this Job will have any real power is one thing but they are hiring. If anyone with knowledge of Corporate structure would have insight feel free to let us know.

 

It's sometimes less structure and more culture that can matter more in this respect.

 

Well as long as it’s a positive step

 

Honestly, now that GL isn't around to object, I would like a Tusken jedi that isn't a human raised by them.

Similarly, while BobaMatt is right about how BoBF was a wasted opportunity in regards to the Tuskens, there are still other opportunities to improve on this moving forward, especially considering that Freetown has good relations with a group of Tuskens and has been rising in prominence. Since this is all still relatively close to Endor, I would like to see the Tuskens in a better spot by the time of the ST, perhaps even have some Tuskens in positions of leadership on Tatooine as a whole.

 

If I'd been writing BoBF the Tuskens would have been running Tatooine outright by the end of it.

 

That said, Freetown's relationship to the Tuskens is even more reason that the Tuskens should have been a big part of that final battle.

 

Indeed.

Honestly, Boba ending the series by giving the Daimyo position to the Chief or Warrior and ending with a shot of them on the throne mirroring the BoBF teaser after Mando season 2 would have been amazing.

Definitely.

Honestly, between Freetown and Boba's connections to the Tuskens I was utterly shocked at them not showing up for the finale.

 

They didn't show the one really badass one dead, so I assumed she would be at the head of a Tusken contingent that showed up to help.

 

I thought they did?

 

They didn't show her corpse, but I'm pretty sure Boba placed her particular gaffi stick in the cremation fire.
