George Lucas did have some early conversations with networks, which over the next few months would turn into the Star Wars Holiday Special.
#Which parks and rec character are you tv#
The earliest inklings of a live-action Star Wars TV show came about around the same time as the original 1977 release, as science fiction movies had been moving to the small screen, notably Logan's Run and Planet of the Apes. Adept at generating conceptual possibilities and then analyzing them strategically. Resourceful in solving new and challenging problems. Quick, ingenious, stimulating, alert, and outspoken. Spontaneous and flexible, often relies on his ability to improvise and his verbal fluency.

Wants a lot of affirmation from others and readily gives appreciation and support. Exuberant lover of life, people, and material comforts. Quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable.įocused on the here-and-now, spontaneous, enjoys each moment that they can be active with others. Theoretical and abstract, interested more in ideas than in social interaction. Adaptable, flexible, and accepting unless a value is threatened. Seeks to understand people and to help them fulfill their potential. Dislikes disagreements and conflicts, does not force their opinions or values on others.Ĭurious, quick to see possibilities, can be a catalyst for implementing ideas. In fact Leslie once cited Hillary Clinton as one of her idols because nobody takes a punch better than Hillary: “She’s the strongest, smartest punching bag in the world.” Leslie might as well have been describing herself.Tolerant and flexible, a quiet observer until a problem appears, then acts quickly to find workable solutionsĮnjoys the present moment, what's going on around them. It’s not that she never gets discouraged, but that she gets off the mat repeatedly and comes back for more. Leslie is an eternal optimist with a can-do attitude. Personality… cheery, relentless, and undaunted. All she wants to do is work hard to help the people, but often that’s easier said than done: “The bankrupt government of Pawnee has been shut down all summer so it’s been three months of no work, no meetings, no memos, no late nights, nothing. The dwindling budget and bureaucratic process make it a constant challenge to do her job as well as she desires. Rebecca’s coming.’ And then he broke up with me.”Ĭhallenge… maintaining her faith in her job and belief she can make a difference despite constant disappointment. Another time a guy invited me to a beautiful picnic with wine and flowers, and then when I tried to sit down, he said, ‘Don’t eat anything. One guy broke up with me while we were in the shower together. Before that, she was perpetually unlucky in relationships.We’ll let her tell it: “One time I was dating this guy for a while, and then he got down on one knee and he begged me never to call him again. Relationship Status… right now she’s dating Ben, who’s been called in to audit Pawnee’s books. Salad is a joke – a disgusting, overrated joke. Don’t even talk to her about salad, though. Her tastes are closer to a 5-year-old’s: whipped cream, waffles, and sugar.

Leslie also loves food, but not food-food. Leslie’s had a lifelong love affair with government going back to her youthful days in Model United Nations, Debate Club, Mock Trial, Young Democrats, Young Republicans and Young Independents. (Even though the citizens rarely seem grateful.) Since her boss Ron, a staunch libertarian who believes government should do as little as possible, is all too happy to let the department flounder, Leslie works double-time pick up the slack. Leslie takes her position very seriously and does her best to please the citizens of Pawnee with the few resources she’s been given.

Profession… deputy director of the Pawnee City Department of Parks and Recreation. Pawnee is smack in America’s heartland, and Leslie puts the “heart” in Pawnee. Well, she discovered to her horror that technically she was born in the wealthy neighboring town of Eagleton, Pawnee’s arch-rival, but please don’t spread it around. in Pawnee, Ind., where she’s lived all her life.
