She was a pretty good Starbuck, but nothing comes close to Dirk Benedict to me. Hearing the name Starbuck instantly pops in an image of Dirk in his uniform, jacket unbuttoned, smoking a stogie and gambling.
Probably because I'm old.

Me too. Saw the cast at a comic con and they looked so dejected and tired I just couldn't walk up and say hi. Imagine a middle-aged dude coming up and saying, "I loved you guys when I was a little kid!" Yikes.

It's a disney product, the character exists to sell subscriptions.

Don't forget about merchandise

Preach Star wars isn't any different than any other disney product. Empty, soulless corposlop. All the art and meaning twisted only to serve capital.

Star Wars did it long before it was owned by Disney. Empire and Return were basically made to sell toys.

Explains the Ewoks, also something that Spaceballs riffed on.. 😔 All of our cultural institutions have been infected

Self-esteem turmoil is brutal, especially when it comes to a pursuit you’re passionate about.
She played the character really well FWIW, so hopefully her next project brings back her confidence.

Her character really didn’t do all that much ..

Hopefully Bitch Pudding can come back from this. BLAM!
"Well, wake me up when you figure it out, shit stick!"

she probably didn't realize that is the character. her confused and uncomfortable with the nuclear badass she is supposed to represent to her kin

Someone takes themselves a little too seriously. Jeez

Understanding the character she's playing is her job. Freaking out a bit when she can't do that sounds reasonable.

enough to impact her confidence? It's Star Wars.

Its her career to do that and she made a name for herself playing that character.

I do think Starbuck made a name for herself playing Starbuck though.

Firefly had 14 episodes, 23 years ago.

Don't you want to be good at your job? It's a big part of your job security.
Like even when I'm shilling in fintech, which I think is bullshit, I'm still going to sweat if I feel like I'm not getting something.
Have you never experienced that? What about in school?
