Do you even need to remake an animated show if within a year or two you can just perfectly deep fake it?

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Please don't give them ideas.
Plot twist: they deepfake the remakes to make them look more like the originals!
Why make something new when you can rehash what already exists, but worse?
Sad that Ray Stevenson passed away recently. He was an incredible actor. I'm looking forward to seeing his final performance, but it's bittersweet.
I'd rather it stay animated if its all the same, but I'll accept live action, as long as they don't make it as bad as the most recent seasons of the live action series (mostly looking at Kenobi, it put a bad taste in my mouth and I haven't watched Andor or Mando 3 bc of it).
I'm finally getting used to Ahsoka in live action, but there is still some sort of reverse uncanny valley that I feel anytime I see her in Mando or Book of Boba Fett. I miss her animated incarnation and Ashley Eckstein's vocal talents, as well as the general expressiveness of the animated genre.
Andor is incredible.
I've heard so many great things! I'm gonna try to catch up on it soon, I've just been super fatigued after Kenobi. Same thing happened to me regarding Star Trek TNG after Season 2
I’ll second the Andor recommendation. It really is worth watching. By far the best of the shows and it stands miles over the other Live Action shows
I just want more Star Wars. Ahsoka could be 3D animated, live action, or anime and I'd still watch it.
...but it's not a remake...?
