Nowadays, most developers in that situation would probably have just shrugged and said "Meh, we'll fix it with the day one patch. Possibly. If we get around to doing it."
@xnshd: Chances are the case'll never even get to court, she and Disney will come to some kind of settlement, and Disney will take more care when it comes to drawing up contracts in the future (not that this scenario is something they could have reasonably foreseen, anyway).
Besides, I don't think she wanted to play the character again anyway. And even if she did, Disney wouldn't stand in her way if they thought it'd make them money - they had to threaten to sue Natalie Portman to get her back for Thor: The Dark World, and she still came back for Endgame and now the next Thor movie.
The 5% of us who chose to create Engineer!Shepards will have the last laugh, seeing how it results in the final boss of ME3: Citadel being turned into a complete joke.
@santinegrete: Of all the things to try and pull the whole "culture wars" argument over, complaining that the producers of an animated movie aimed at kids aren't using a character design created by an erotica artist?
Okay, these spin-offs could work, perhaps. But first, maybe start by hiring showrunners who don't completely crap the bed as soon as they have to do anything more than just copy-paste the books into Final Draft?
@returnofthebrotha: You're comparing apples with oranges. Mando spent most of the episode engaged in hand-to-hand combat, while the women were using ranged weaponry. You can't use that to make any determination which of them would do better in a fight - nor from Boba and Koska spending roughly ten seconds fighting before Starbuck tells them to knock it off.
Besides, if showing men and women as equals counts as pushing an agenda, wouldn't showing men as being better than women also be pushing an agenda?
