Star Wars -- Clone Wars

OMG what a terrible terrible canon Sue!!

Imagine that:a teenage girl Twilek (they're the ones with the two tentacles on their heads), red-skinned with white markings in her face, huuuuuge aqua eyes, fearfully skinny skin insect arms and legs, unnecessarily skimpy clothes, apprentice Jedi (but too cool for robes!), defeats all the enemies Anakin Skywalker does not AND talks back to him!

And she has the name of a Buddhist saint, slightly changed. Just like Padme.-

It was a fun movie; I especially liked the stylized, matte look, and how they didn't eevn try making the characters look realistic -- but that Sue? Totally shot it all to hell.

-- There was a moment with speeder bikes when a certain headvoice went 'Oh I've got one of those; they are exhilarating to ride!', but then the Sue came on again, and the moment was lost...

Erm , sorry but the Sue was a Togruta, like Shaak Ti.
Twi'lek have the tentacles hanging on the back. Jabba's dancers were Twi'leks.

Oh! And here I was, proud that I knew a name of a SW species at all...

But who is Shaak Ti? (Shakti? Another religious entity from India? What's with those names??)

This is Shaak Ti.



And they never were very creative with names in Star Wars.

Ahhh -- she has horns, too!

Telepolis hates the movie, by the way. But then, they seem to hate Star Wars in general.

Star Wars was built on the lithe opaque backs of Mary Sues. You were expecting something different?

Perhaps something less crudely blatant...
