dollsahoy:theyoungestwhateleydaughter:heroineimages:romanticamnesia:gffa:The Mandalorian | Chapter 5 - The Gunslinger | TATOOINE + THE TUSKEN RAIDERS“Tusken Raiders. I heard the locals talking about this filth.”“Tuskens think they’re the locals. Everyone else is trespassing.”“Well, whatever they call themselves, they’d best keep their distance.”“Yeah? Why don’t you tell them yourself?”“What are you doing?”“Negotiating. We need passage across their land.”Fun fact: according to the episode’s end credits, the actor playing “Tuskan [sic] Raider Scout #1” is Troy Kotsur. Troy Kotsur is a Deaf American actor who uses American Sign Language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Kotsur https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1319274/I don’t know if the Mandalorian and the Tusken were using ASL when signing, but it’s pretty cool that the series cast a character who signs with an actor who signs, rather than “person waving hands around randomly” that’s used for a lot of fictional SFF sign languages.Huh. This is really cool… Second fun fact! It was not, in fact, ASL, but Plains Indian Sign Language.(and the Space Port Operator credit up there is the VA of Zeb in Rebels) -- source link
