    You know I'm curious. The Sith were able to successfully breed with humans, but aren't considered a Near Human species. Do you think it's possible for most species physically capable to breed with eachother, or was there something special about the Sith and Humans?

    I just read cracked today

    Huh. R2D2 could do everything but speak. That's funny.

    Rest of the article was loaded with bullshit though
    The T-X had weapons AND the ability to control machines; plus a endoskeleton meant it couldn't get completely frozen (which stopped and fucked up the T1000 in Terminator 2.. or at least in the directors cut.)

    Data was NOT designed to serve on a starship (and certainly wasn't designed with emotions). He was designed to be a synthetic being with no stated goal other than to exist. Having super strength wasn't a flaw; it was just the result of how he was designed.

    Still, that does beg the question of why R2 units couldn't talk.

    It wouldn't hurt to throw in a cool, female jedi in one of the new movies, though.

    Not holding my breath on a female protagonist, but I suppose anything is theoretically possible.

    No other instances of specifically mentioned or systemic hybredization, but that doesn't mean it can't happen...

    Then she'll be the secondary character at least. In the mold of Ahsoka Tano, not Princess Leia.

    And Lando was an awesome black male character

    But the new protagonist is totally going to be a white dude. These new movies are unlikely to be passion projects. They're there to make money, and that means lot of marketing teams in the project, which means lots and lots of demographic analysis. Strong female and poc characters? Sure. But not as the lead.

    It's weird

    ROTJ is my least-favorite of the OT, yet I find the things done to it in the Special and Ultimate editions more offensive than most things done in the other films or the prequel trilogy

    Still, that does beg the question of why R2 units couldn't talk.

    1) that's not what "beg the question" means

    2) any number of reasons. just make one up, it's fiction. maybe a voice modulator is bulky. maybe using one would take more computing power than it's worth. maybe the astromech language is more efficient than any spoken language.

    Don't be too sure. It's much easier to find a passionate Star Wars fan in Hollywood then a passionate super-hero fan. Especially with the younger generations who grew up with it.
