Watching a fun interview with the one of the WoT stunt coordinators, Jan Petrina, and some of my favorite things he said are -
Except for some small instances, the cast are doing almost all of their own stunts
The stunt coordinators study the cast and their abilities. They design the actors' stunts specifically for their abilities and skill level (oh my god they're going to be insane stunt people by the end of the series)
Season 2 was easier than season 1 even with the leveled up action, due to the covid break. They finished filming s01 and went straight into s02, so the cast was really in stunt condition from the get-go.
The stunt coordinators know the plot and characters really well. They talk with the actors about character motivation, mindset, etc, and account for all that while designing action sequences.
Jan seems to be having a great time with the series, and with how many stunt actors are being cast into acting roles (I'm still utterly blown away by Shaiel in s01, and that was only her second acting credit!), I'm so stoked to see the action in S03.
There's tons more in the video, too, but it only has 93 views! go watch it!

I just hope so hard the Murderbot Diaries show takes a page from Always Sunny and The Office because yes, it is a sci-fi action thriller, but ALSO it is a workplace comedy and I hope they remember that

Despite Obi-Wan cutting Anakin down to size, that’s not how Obi-Wan wanted things to end. Gillard reveals that he designed the fight so that Obi-Wan was trying to wear out Anakin in order to calm him down and set things right.
“I did write [the fight choreography] like a husband and a wife having a fight. Anakin thinks Obi is maybe having an affair with Padme at that point, so he's already gone to the Dark Side. For Obi, it's about just trying to absorb it long enough that he can get him back,” Gillard said.

lmao I just realized that the guy who played Kublai was also the person who directed “The Wedding”.
That’s growth. Coming back from your husband murdering you after you beat him in an erotic fight and helping him get remarried to one of your fellow wives.
...or maybe it’s just revenge...

Ok so. Actors AU, right? Obviously the Nagano Trio can’t be missing in that. So a while ago we were talking about them and @docalu asked how did Koumei and Yui end up with Macho-man Kansuke.
@lucrecia84 had an idea for that:
So obviously...
I had to draw that.
