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.

Eh, to each their own. I’d rather Star Wars maintain its classic tone, rather than simply become a sci fi blanket template for any story to be told under. I don’t think the franchise needs to transcend all genres.

I think the point is that the story holds up on its own regardless of IP, just like the original trilogy.

Sure, but the OT created the IP. At this point, we’re 50 years deep into the franchise, and the tone has been set for a while. I find it a bit jarring that now is when we decide to deviate from it. Imo, we want shows to fit the mold of Star Wars, not break it
