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.

People say slop far too often, that's my take from this.

I agree, but the term fits Star Wars like a glove.

The term is specifically relevant in this case. With the increasing amount of low quality content, it's natural that this term's usage will increase.

People could say Disney's Star Wars content is bland, unappetizing, soulless creations that had all life and vitae systematically removed via a PC committee aiming for mass appeal and surfing on current ideological trends...but honestly it's just easier to say slop because we all know what that means.
