The Dropout's Yoda Theranos Inspiration Is A Bizarre Plot Hole
Amanda Seyfried stars in The Dropout as the founder and CEO of Theranos, but one of her biggest inspirations for starting the company is a reference to Yoda that comes six years too soon. The Hulu original based on the ABC podcast of the same name follows the rise and fall of the real-life Elizabeth Holmes (played in The Dropout by Seyfried). Early on in the first episode, she is shown writing in her “Ideas Notebook.” When she closes it, audiences see that there is a sticker of Yoda on the cover. Later on in the episode, she closely examines the sticker before coming up with the invention that becomes the basis for Theranos.
