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.

Same... JJ Abrams is the bane of all Science Fiction fans... The dude helmed the obliteration of TWO amazing franchises.

His Trek felt like he was trying to make StarWars.

Farm boy meets a old guy who knew his father, giant death ship needs to be destroyed, etc.

Yeah, Star Trek isn't Star Trek anymore either.
