I.e. non-immigrants here don't carry a card proving their citizenship.
Non-drivers don't carry a card to show they can't drive.
The UK proposal would be as though they did.
So whatever the arguments are for or against the UK proposal, don't look to MitID as an equivalent

And as for the additional information provided, that does not exist in Denmark. As an immigrant I am required to carry a card proving my status, and I do. As a driver, I'm required to carry a licence card, and I do.
But the UK proposal also includes the opposites of those 6/🧵

That could mean more situations where UK citizens will be breaking the law for *failing to* check and report on other people. And that's a bad thing, in my view.
So: should the UK have a MitID-like system? Sure!
Is the proposed system a MitID-like system? No.

Like imposing on landlords a legal responsibility to check the immigration status of potential tenants (Immigration Act 2014).
Making information like that more accessible only enables more opportunities to do this. 4/🧵

The UK proposals on the other hand integrates a lot of the information that we would only use MitID to access, and forefronts information like immigration status.
This is worrying because the UK has a history of outsourcing responsibility for enforcing things to the general public.... 3/🧵

It's really useful because it's replaced a whole bunch of other 2FA systems in private business. My bank uses MitID rather than their own solution. To be honest most passwords are replaced with it. There's some concerns about it as a single point of failure, but it's a pretty robust system.

And it's not isolated. There are many things where I feel like I now pay half as much for something 10x as good.

To go after Solo, but imho works better if inserted into the time jump in solo. That way you see the ISD parts being assembled in TotU and in on Corellia in Solo, then see an ISD alongside venators in TotE, and finally see them in action in the rest of Solo.
Also the earliest appearance of Thrawn!

I think there's some of the classic music used here, for the first time in the series.
There's a godawful Forces of Destiny short that occurs during the time skip, which adds nothing and would just mess with the reveal if watched chronologically.

After this we get Solo - I'm not going to harp about my opinions on this film, besides its timeline elements.
It's quite a big time jump, and if you are following the Wookiepedia order this will be the first appearance of an ISD (albeit in a somewhat occluded manner) and tie fighters. Plus...

The other one that fits here is Tales of the Empire: Realization. It's a good one, and keeps the Inquisitor plotline alive just when it's about to come to the fore.

she also falls in love with Jedi Quinlan Vos, and gets a new yellow sabre. So TotU starts with her getting resurrected by the spirit of Talzin...but it's a complete non sequitur unless you've read the book. So if you are doing just a visual media watch, you pretty much have to ignore the first scene

Watching the series in this silly order, it does seem to set up a scenario that doesn't get a payoff. I don't think I noticed that the first time I watched it.

Not really addressed. I think we are left to believe that all of the surviving clones just wanted to retire, and they probably didn't want to do anything as dark as a full on extermination or them all getting wiped out in some big last stand. I can understand that. My point is only that if you are..

Clone Underground that also interacts with rebel senators, and other rebel groups. So by the end of the Bad Batch, you are sort of primed for a mass clone rebellion, or at least a rebellion with the remaining clones as a significant part of that.

That the Bad Batch exacerbates rather than helps is the fate of the Clone Army. You have millions of clones at the end of RotS, only a handful in later media, so where do they all go?
There's some fantastic episodes about the treatment of the clones, and we see a pretty established...

A lot of S2 and most of S3 deals with Project Necromancer, which at least lays some groundwork for Palpatine's return as a clone. Tantiss is also a nice nod to Legends. I'm not quite sure the gap is fully bridged yet, but maybe we will see more in other shows like the Mandalorian.

Address the gaps through other media. I don't think the prequels improved over time just due to nostalgia and re-evaluation - releasing other related media also helped that.
So, naturally, an issue with their last movie that they are still trying to address is "Somehow Palpatine has Returned"...

A very easy and clean redemption that we have come to expect, and then just yank it away with the realisation that some people are just sympathetic to fascism, and you can't just wave a magic wand to win them back.
It's probably the most interesting moment in any of the animated shows.

Despite his tough exterior, he just has the very human response of feeling abandoned and betrayed by his brothers.
