How about honeysuckle vs trumpet vine? Both grow like hell, invasively, where I live. One is a tasty and pleasant treat when flowering. The other is just… there, growing. A lot.

simulacra_procession@lemmy.todayto Star Wars@lemmy.world•Andor creator Tony Gilroy ‘had to fight for’ the series’ most crushing momentEnglish26·3 months agoI don’t hate Kathleen Kennedy or anything, she’s just doing her job. In fact she’s not even really a cause so much as a symptom, but fact is she was hired because her vision matches what the marketing people want: dumbed down, mass-appeal media that speaks to no one and offends no one. She has made it work before in her career, and (likely, in my opinion) loves the formula for its efficacy, not its artistic value. It’s about the money, and enshittification. I’m as confused as everyone else how Andor managed to slip through the gatekeeping, but very glad for it. Maybe they’ll learn that there’s a market for more than just “childlike wonderment.”

My head canon - he’s very slightly force sensitive like many others including the force healer who senses him instantly. There is a lot of this in old EU content, especially during the Republic when there were Jedi washouts all the time. Not to even mention outer rim folks the Jedi couldn’t/didn’t get to. The other best pilot in the galaxy was a Confederate guy about Anakin’s age who was also likely semi-force sensitive. I don’t think they want to go too deep into the mystical weewoo of the force in this series, which is supposed to be more relatable and grounded. But I really appreciate what appears to be a nod to those lucky few who are guided, literally, by divine providence.
Someone mentioned Kolashanpan, I’ll also throw Vimto in the mix. Both drinks of the gods.
