Also as much as I loved the Ghorman storyline it also sort of reminds me of a hypothetical mid-season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode where the whole premise is they land on a strange new planet and everyone's French

The introduction of the ghormans is great. Asks the q “what if there were french people who had no deep and internalized culture of revolution”

Fake French created some really interesting reactions from native french speakers because it has zero french words, but has french sentence structure and cadence and was performed by french speakers.

Every media example of fake English that’s easy to find has at least some real words interspersed

Prisencolinensinainciusol maybe has some pronouns and prepositions ("you", "when", "all"), but it's hard to say for sure. It's proper nonsense.

This was the first one that came to mind. The verses, yes, pure giberish.

But the refrain is a pretty clear "alright".

Was it like that Rush Limbaugh parody from the Family Guy specials? “The Liberal Galactic Media is at it again …”

Galaxy inhabited by regular folks with ordinary tastes

Honestly, after getting podcast announcers in the first prequel, this was inevitable.

Took me a couple of seconds to get this one and now I’m bowing to show my respect

Palpatine understood the power of targeted propaganda disguised as news media. and talk shows are just part of humanity imo. we looove to gossip

aldanferrox.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Considering that the Old Republic was many millennia old, this probably always existed, long before Palpatine was born.

I need more sci fi about what mass media would be like in a huge multi-species galactic civilization

My guess is insane TikTok slop but somehow far worse, but I’m open to other ideas

bread and circuses in a evergreen I guess
