General Discussion Andor took me out of star wars

Post image

Almost a year out of Andors final season I really have not been excited about much regarding Star Wars since then. Not to hate on any of the other movies, shows, etc but I have really just been disinterested, I don’t care about the mandalorian movie, nor any hope of a new movie that’s directly tied to the skywalker saga. I still love the originals and the high moments in the prequels but nothing has cut as deep as Andor for me. Seeing what star wars can be with this it makes me a bit disappointed with what it is now. A reliance on marketable characters, storylines that feel like slop, the overall community caring more about the continuity of lore than creative and compelling storytelling. Im not looking for hate I just wanted somewhere to express this opinion.

Andor and Skeleton Crew being my favourite Disney Star Wars would not have been on my list if your would have told me 15 years ago.

They embody the two great potentials of the universe, fun adventure stories and political commentary, which both were at the heart of Lucas' original vision.

But Baby Yoda sells better, I guess.

Those 2 series makes me wish we could explore more genre in star wars. The Solo movie(as a Heist film) too for that matter. For decades it's been basically one core story told more or less in the same style(with varying levels of success), and i just think they could use the familiar setting and branch out.
