I think the extraordinary thing that Death shows [Dream] is the complexity of humanity. She asks him to bear witness to people in the last moment of their lives and that something happens when you look closely at something. You begin to understand it. And I think that understanding are the first steps towards love. And I think when [Dream] has that pivotal transition, he thinks to himself “If I can feel this about these people after such a short space of time, how do I feel about a man who I’ve spent 600 years with?” And so he returns to him.

— Tom Sturridge about Dream’s relationship with Death, humanity and Hob Gadling [video]

Temple rings in Russian women’s costumes, 14 century.

Temple rings (temporal rings) were part of Slavic, Scandinavian and others’ medieval women’s dress. Most were made of base metals such as copper alloys or iron, though silver and even gold were occasionally used. These were known as temple rings because they were worn on the head, near the temples of a woman or a girl.

Temple rings were characteristic decorations of Slavic women. Different tribes had their own designs and they were made out of various metals. The rings were attached to a string that became part of a headdress or they were woven directly into braids of hair.

“I did research on the culture and environment of Tusken Raiders; I researched [the] ‘sand people.’ That is what Luke Skywalker calls them, ‘sand people.’ Anyway, my goal was to avoid ASL (American Sign Language); I made sure it became Tusken sign language based on their culture and environment.”

“We kept it really simple in terms of the hand shapes that were used. When the Tusken sees the Mandalorian, this is the sign: using this flat hand shape, it outlines the gaps in the Mandalorian’s helmet.”

— TROY KOTSUR, the deaf American actor who developed the Tusken sign language and who played the first Tusken Raider to use it on-screen

Suddenly in this, modern English sounds a lot more like Middle English. And what’s funny to me is that, because of this, some of the words in the Shakespeare selection become much closer to what the original pronunciation in the late 16th and early 17th century sounded like.
