obi-wan on disney+

[archersangel]

on the second episode now, it's still interesting.

i find it hard to believe the girl playing leia is 10. she looks more like an 8 year old. admittedly, my exposure to 10 year olds is limited to when i was 10, being around my classmates and when my brother was 10 3 years later.
according to google, the average height of a 10 year old girl is 4'1" to 4'9". jimmy smits is 6'3" (according to google) so, according to this height comparison site, she would be at least nearly up to his elbow. but in the first episode she looks barely hip high. it doesn't help that they have it so when she runs from the bad guys she can duck and run under things that adults can't, like a 6-8 year old.
and she looks really young too. i don't recall my classmates (or myself) looking that young. of course there was more pollution, kids' parents smoked & there was more chemicals in food then.
i realize that not all 10 year olds are the same, but i keep thinking; "she's 8." while watching the show.

and i don't think that was frank oz voicing yoda in the SW prequel recap in the first episode. he don't voice miss piggy in any muppets thing anymore because he didn't like what disney was doing with the character. so they probably dubbed in someone else so they didn't have to pay him.
speaking of paying people, i wonder if any of the other people in the clips they had in the recap got paid. i doubt it, even tough there's a rule about that now.

I really enjoyed the show in the end, altho it did have some plot holes. I am a hard sell for kid stories like this, but I was captivated by Small Leia. Maybe the actor was a little younger than 10 but that did not affect my suspension of disbelief.
