Star Wars The Clone Wars: Question 1: Concerning the voice work of this show, the majority of the cast is not the cast from the films and yet, everyone is so great. For example, rather than Ian McDiarmid, Sir Christopher Lee, and Temuera Morrison as Palpatine/Darth Sidious, Count Dooku, and the clones, you have Ian Abercrombie (predominantly), Corey Burton, and Dee Bradley Baker, and all three do such superb jobs of capturing the same spirit of the characters that the on-screen performers bring to the characters. Of course, there have been some returning cast members from the films such as Liam Neeson, Daniel Logan and of course Anthony Daniels as Qui-Gon, young Boba Fett, and our beloved C-3PO. Any specific thoughts or comments on the voice actors’ skills at as I said capturing the same spirit of the on-screen performances? Question 2: As you observed, when Ahsoka cautions not to kill out of hatred, that is a fairly ludicrous statement, given what the younglings have gone through. And yes, I am aware that as others have pointed out that killing out of hatred can lead to the Dark Side. Ok, fine, but still, in a life-or-death situation that the younglings have been in for however long it was that they were being hunted on that planet, it seems a touch asinine to keep dealing in the absolute of adherence to the Jedi code well past the point it’s not perhaps the smartest thing to do. Any further thoughts on that moment, and would you say that this is further evidence that the Jedi are badly in need of some sort of in-house therapist, particularly whilst there’s a war going on? Question 3: The world of Mon Calamari proves to have a very unique and distinctive visual style. Hypothetically speaking, are there any ideas for other types of unique worlds that you would like to see featured in The Clone Wars, or just Star Wars in general? Question 4: One area in which Plo Koon stands out is that like Qui-Gon, he recognizes that Anakin, and also Ahsoka to a certain extent, does not always respond well to the traditional Jedi approach. For instance, when Ahsoka is taken prisoner, rather than only saying “trust in the Force” Plo also goes with the approach of saying to Anakin that maybe she can look after herself and will find her way back to Anakin. How would you summarize your thoughts on Plo going slightly against tradition Jedi methodology in his interactions with Anakin and Ahsoka? Question 5: A small moment in the Naboo episode that stands out some is how Darth Sidious has no doubt that it’s without question that Padmé will trade Grievous for Anakin. Your thoughts or comments on that moment, if any? Arcane: Question 1: Comments that I’ve heard on the internet are very black and white concerning Jinx and Vi. Specifically, that people are saying Jinx is completely at fault for all the bad things that happened to both sisters and Vi has done nothing wrong, or vice versa. Thus far, and I agree with you, you’ve taken a middle ground perspective on the sisters, saying that neither is completely blameless, and that they are both at fault in different ways for what has transpired. Just any further thoughts or insights on the actions of the sisters? Question 2: Similarly, I’ve been hearing that there was a fair amount of backlash towards Caitlyn for “ruining” the reunion between Vi and Jinx, and that “it’s all her fault” that the reunion went south. These same comments conveniently seem to ignore the fact that the firelights showed up and exacerbated the situation by causing a ruckus. Do you feel that there is something to Caitlyn was at least partially responsible for how the situation went, or do you feel that it was a doomed situation and Caitlyn’s presence merely accelerated how fast it all went bad? Question 3: Something in this show that’s stood out and has been highly relatable, to me anyway, is Jinx’s mental state, specifically how realistically portrayed a lot of her mental traumas have been. Has this stood out to you as well, and/or just any thoughts or comments on this aspect of her character? Squid Game: Do you have any specific thoughts or comments on how you get very invested in/learn a great deal about who a lot of the characters are before we even learn many of their names? Spirited Away: Question 1: I’m told that there is a theory that Yubaba and Zeniba are in fact one and the same, which strikes me as being an interesting thought. Do you feel that perhaps there is validity to that theory? Question 2: I’ve also been told that in the Japanese dub in the latter part of the film, Chihiro at one moment refers to Kamaji in a way that translates to Grandfather. I hear this and I thought that this adds further weight to the idea that you brought up that Yubaba/Zeniba and Kamaji might resemble Chihiro’s actual grandparents in some way. It therefore has made me curious as to whether or not you had any further thoughts or ideas on the subject?

Classic Who The Time Warrior 1-4 & Invasion of the Dinosaurs 1-2 question: before these episodes I get the impression that you only knew Sarah Jane from new Who. After seeing a few episodes of her back in the day, what are your thoughts on her character development from then to later on in new Who? Sorry this question is a bit rambly.

Not sure if I am too late for a question. General question about Star Trek. Do you and if so, how do you plan to watch the Star Trek movies? For example, will they be on a poll or just watched after the series? Have you seen any of them?

Hey Jess, I don’t know if you’ve answered this anywhere else (so if someone could point me in the right direction if she has) but I was wondering what your thoughts are on RTD’s return? I know he wasn’t your favourite but are you excited? Hope you’re well :)
