How Much More Star Wars Do We Need?

As a kid, I don't think there was anything I was

more

obsessed with than Star Wars. Star Wars birthday cake. Star Wars birthday costume. Star Wars Darth ma Taco Bell mug. Pretty

much

all he did was watch these movies while he played with the toys. that were based on these films the best thing about the three original films is that they are still relevant today they are exciting to watch they are full of great performances they have an iconic soundtrack there is almost no incest in them it's crazy Think about how

much

of the which was made at this time over 40 years ago still acts as the sun around which each new piece of Star Wars media revolves, the four characters created for these films being shoehorned into each new series, each reinvention because Star Wars, even as one of the biggest brands in the world, doesn't seem to exist without them, they can't create anything without a Skywalker, an Obi-Wan, a Yoda, or a Darth Vader, and they barely try, honestly, it seems than all his life.

The goal at this point is simply to remember this guy, remember this guy, and if this is all they're going to do with the brand, what's the point if each new show will only exist as a way to remember us? of something we've already seen, how much

more

do we

need

Star Wars now. I'm certainly not going to sit here and act like I'm somehow immune to Nostalgia bait because that would be a lie When Disney released the first trailer for The Obi-Wan Kenobi Program I was ecstatic and McGregor was always one of my favorite things about prequel trilogy and I couldn't wait to see him come back and play this character again, but then the strangest thing happened: the show came out and ended.

Being so boring, I stopped watching after two episodes and didn't think about it again for an entire year. It turns out that bringing back a recognizable character is a pretty good way to get people to pay attention to something, but you still have to put in a little effort to get

star

ted. I was surprised at how cheap everything looked. I know they didn't have a movie budget for this, but it's not like they were working with nothing, but a lot of the action sequences are very soft, gray and dark. They are nauseating to watch because of the artificial camera movement they added, what is this supposed to convey that the cameraman is afraid?

It just seems stupid, and of course the production issues could be overlooked if there was a story worth telling here, but I think I forgot to think of one. None of the characters are interesting, including the one who should have been a hit. You somehow took a character that has existed in people's heads for over 40 years and wrote him to be so flat that I can't remember a single thing he said or did on the show there is no fear instilled by the antagonists because they are completely incompetent, the writing is inconsistent, and the rules change from scene to scene.

Four Stormtroopers, huh, a piece of cake for a guy like me, oh, three Stormtroopers, I give. up don't shoot damn if they only brought in a fourth guy this also happens just seconds after he tries too hard to open a door they clearly could have walked if that fight gave him a concussion in episode 4 , Obi. -Wan has to go save Leia from her imprisonment in what is described as an extremely secure base. It is impenetrable. Wade's suicide, you're not going in there. Yes, it seems pretty safe to me. They have a whole droid patrolling the place, not to mention. multiple doors that are open is impenetrable, well they made it to the base but there is no way for them to get out of there, look at how conspicuous they are being, surely someone will notice the human boy hiding under his jacket, no one sees that they are there. helmets backwards oh here we go now they're screwed they're completely surrounded by Stormtroopers there's no way they're getting out of this they escaped everything went well and it's not because they came up with a strategic plan or something they just lowered the difficulty to easy and ran straight to the ship.

The program feels like it was designed in reverse. They knew people like this character, so they decided to make a series about him and then it's like we discover a plot later. The show came out last summer and we're so close to figuring out a plot that they knew people liked baby Yoda on Mandalorian so they put the baby version of a different Legacy character in this show because why try to do something new when You've already stumbled upon a formula that works. What is this? My YouTube channel. This whole series doesn't really do anything interesting until this moment near the end and yeah, this fight was great.

I enjoyed it. Um, I don't think so. the rest of the show

need

ed to exist, it's like eight minutes worth watching out of the entire six episode series. They could have just filmed this part and posted it on Vimeo or something that you didn't even need to bother with. others like what's the point of introducing Reva or any of these inquisitors? If you're not going to do anything with them, they just act as backup villains until Darth Vader shows up. They don't have a bow. They are not written or portrayed. in a memorable way, they are simply there like revas.

The whole thing is that she is trying to gain Vader's trust so that he will let his guard down around her and she can attack when he least expects it now, obviously, we know that's not going to happen. work because Darth Vader is very much alive in the movies we've already seen but we don't know how close he is, maybe he comes up with a perfect plan and everything goes well until something goes wrong at the last moment or she has some internal conflict and He hesitates and misses his chance like there are so many possibilities of how this could have happened that you want to know what the final draft version of his plan was by running after him and screaming even if he didn't have telekinetic powers he still has ears how did you think What was this going to be?

Why did we watch five episodes of this character if this is all it led to, what a waste of time writing characters that are incredibly stupid is an unfortunate staple on Disney plus? Star Wars Universe continues to appear in the show I watch after this one and the one that came out most recently. Ahsoka. Now this show is definitely better than Kenobi, but not by a long shot our first introduction to the main character is so incredibly long. scene where she is slowly touching things in this cave and things

star

t moving and making noise and it's so eerie and it goes on for about 4 minutes.

He can also find the golden ball and then he takes the ball and then he tells people about the ball and then his apprentice plays with the ball and then someone steals it and that's pretty much all episode one is until the end oh Oh my god, she died, okay, I admit it, that's a bold opening you've set up. You have shown how ruthless the enemy can be. How they will stop at nothing to get what they want. This already adds a lot of depth to a socus character. What is it? She is fine. I guess it was just a little stabbing.

I'm sorry, it's like she's me. I feel like people have usually died because of it, relax Obi-Wan, it's okay, just throw a band-aid on it and drag it back to the ship, it's okay, and it's not just that she inexplicably survives something that has killed every other character. every time it's happened it's that she's barely affected by it, she spends like 10 minutes in the hospital and then goes about her day if you take out the part where she was stabbed for the purposes of the Cliffhanger episode then the plot would be exactly same, worse, although it makes every In the Future battle seem a little less important because apparently lightsabers don't kill people, so why would I be nervous watching any of these fights?

Nothing a little Neosporin can't fix. It's not just the first episode, although this is a theme throughout the entire show. Many times the main characters are going to end up in battles where they get shot a million times and never get hit. It happens here and here and here and here and here and here and here. I know that nothing bad is going to happen to them. because nothing ever does, they are invincible and once you realize that these scenes are no longer exciting, they are just noisy, there is nothing at stake because the enemy is useless.

Now the only thing that comes out of that episode is Sabine The Apprentice, who died but didn't die, gave the map to the Ballon d'Or to the bad guys and that map has the coordinates of an even bigger bad guy, so the good guys need to get that back. map of the bad guys before using it to find the other bad guy, but they also need the map because guess who else there is another good guy now. I like that this premise sets up an interesting moral dilemma because they know that although they want to use the map to find their friend Ezra, they know that if they go to the planet that both he and Thon, the main villain, are on, they risk giving Thraw an outlet for something he currently doesn't have, so it can be argued that if they simply destroyed the map, they would be sacrificing their friend Ezra. for the greater good because all we hear about Thon is that he's hell-bent on destroying the entire universe, so as hard as it is to do, it seems like maybe giving up your friend would be the best thing that would save the majority. he lives but of course they don't do that.

Sabine says yes, people are going to die, but Ezra is my friend and it's not just her doing this, it's the complete lack of reaction from anyone else. Sabine's selfish actions will lead to another star war. and no one is the least bit upset, wouldn't it have been interesting if when Ezra sees Sabine for the first time he freaks out like no, no, no, you can't be here? You have condemned the entire galaxy just to save me. I'm not worth that, what were you thinking? Instead, he's like me, where my hug is reminiscent of that scene in The Dark Knight where they only have time to save Harvey or his girlfriend Rachel and they make the difficult decision to save him because of what he represents to the city, but in Instead of feeling relieved when he sees that someone is there to save him, his immediate reaction is anguish at the thought of someone else dying for him, I don't know, just thinking about it for no reason.

All I feel is that all that could have been interesting about this show is not that I was so intrigued when these two appeared on screen and seeing how they interacted with the main characters, this could have been such an interesting parallel between Master and Apprentice We Might Have seen the similarities between these two pairs, but that's not explored at all outside of how the fight scenes are broken up. Watch the entire season and you still know nothing about these people. I guess he has some mission to find power and then they. I must like breaking up at the end, but it's all so vague.

This is a land of dreams and madness. An ancient past long forgotten. Sometimes stories are just stories. There is nothing human or identifiable to hold on to as a viewer. I would have loved to see it. episode where just these two appear and maybe you can get a glimpse into his past and see how he became a father figure to her and why that relationship is important and maybe you could have even given him any amount of dialogue so he could have a Character trait. Aside from being broody all the time, there is only one person in the show who evolves from start to finish, however, he starts out as a rogue padawan who can't use the force at all and transforms into a rogue padawan who can use the force. a little, how do you do it?

Find out if he has some kind of epiphany where we, the audience, are given a reason for everything to suddenly just click. No, he can't do it and then he can't do it and then he can't do it and then he can. do it at a time when it was most convenient, for plot reasons, out of nowhere she just does something she had no ability to do 30 seconds ago and then another 30 seconds later she's using the force again to push a adult man across a space. the size of a football field I guess she's a master at this now there isn't much cause and effect in this show things don't happen because something else happens they happen because it's time for them to happen when someone dies no one reacts accordingly, until the point at which I wonder: do they even know what death is?

They are aware that it is bad, right? Also, why is this kid on the ship in the first place? What is it to bring his son to war on the day I have seen? A lot of people try to criticize the actors on this show, but I'm really not sure to what extent it's their fault, since I don't think Ahsoka is a bad character or that Rosario Dawson is bad at acting. her because he plays her exactly the same way he did in an episode of Mandalorian and I thought he did very well in that, as did almost everyone, so clearly the problems seem to have more to do with the context in which it's placed.

They place these characters in both. shows that she is portrayed as this wise and powerful Jedi and in Mandalorian it makes sense for her to have that heir because they write to her to have knowledge that Mando doesn't have, he comes to her for information and she delivers it to him with the kind of silent stoicism which makes sense given the circumstances of your program,Not only is it a little boring that your main character talks like that all the time, but it really doesn't make sense for her to be so calm while telling Sabine, "hey, it's okay." that you have doomed the entire galaxy for personal reasons it's no big deal that millions of people die because at least you followed your heart like no that's stupid but that's how she says a line because that's how it was written.

I have more to do. say about this show and Obi-Wan Kenobi, butBefore I get into that, I have to tell you about the Star Wars show which is so much better than both, it's actually hard to understand that it takes place within the same universe. I think if I can explain some of the things Andor does so well, it will do a better job of showing why Ahsoka and Kenobi are so flat in comparison before we get to that, although I do want to talk to you about today's sponsor, Sofi, and how we're working together to give away $10,000 to someone watching. this video right now I would like to be watching this video right now I want $10,000 if you didn't know Sofi is the all-in-one financial app that will help you take out bank loans and invest so you can achieve all your ambitions.

It takes about 7 minutes for Andor to subvert our expectations The main character is followed by a couple of antagonistic assholes They're bothering him They're cornering him They're trying to rob him I've seen where this is going This is where our protagonist shows how cool and strong he is Oh?

Who are you? Your name is Andor and don't forget it, but no, that's not really how it happens because that's not who he is as a character and that's not what this show is. In this program you have to scrape and claw your way out. In a situation like this, it's not easy, he's brutal and messy and in the process of trying to defend himself, he accidentally kills one of them, an act that is treated with the gravity rarely seen in Star Wars: he doesn't breathe a single breath. time than the other guy. He goes from being angry to realizing that now he needs to beg for his own life, holy shit, we had a miss of the position we're going to get.

I'll tell you what happened and it's important to note that this isn't just a little action sequence to grab viewers' attention this is what drives the show this is the impetus for everything Cassian does next because he's now a criminal. Wanted is on the run has to quickly figure out how to make enough money to get out of this place when I say the other shows are boring, I'm not asking for more giant battles with lots of explosions and CGI spaceships, we've seen all that before, I'm just asking that what happens on the screen means something.

If there are no consequences when something happens, then it doesn't matter that it happens, if nothing else, at least the death has to matter, and yet Star Wars keeps trying to tell us that it doesn't matter, when the main characters die, they're just dead. . until we need them to be alive again and when minor characters die, no one around them seems to care, so what's the point? Oh, don't worry about those guys, they're just nothing, what do you mean people were just kind of like that? nothing is like it is not important as if they do not matter we do not need to be told about the threat that the empire represents in this program we can simply see it we are shown what can happen to a corrupt judicial system without control power, we are shown a prison with electrified floors that they can use to kill anyone for any reason, like the Empire really feels scary in this show, these Tie fighters that are made to be so disposable, so small and insignificant in the other movies, feel huge when They fly by They are loud and daunting Their presence actually feels like a threat to Ahsoka We are not shown why we should be afraid of Thraw We are told that he is this imposing Force We are told that he is an evil Grand Admiral whose escape will lead to the destruction of the galaxy, but those are just words, words that contradict how stupid he is in every scene, every time he tries to kill someone he fails, his plans still don't work and every time he says, actually, it's good that we lost.

Come to think of it, maybe that's why Ahsoka is so indifferent to him going out, it's because she realizes that he's just a bumbling idiot who painted himself blue. If you want the audience to fear your villain, you have to show what they are capable of. not with words but with actions, remind this guy that it was all his own, in fact he was most feared when he didn't speak and unless you want them to be evil for the sake of being evil you have to embody. Explain to them in some way what his motivations are, his defects, his ambitions.

A great show will make you sympathize with the villain. A great show will show you everyone's perspective so you understand where they are coming from. A bad show will tell you these guys are evil. and these guys are good and that's why they fight. Andor takes the time to develop almost all of his characters in a way that the other shows simply didn't. The first time Cassian's friend Braso appears on screen, we are shown the dynamics of their relationship without one of them. By having to tell us only verbally we can see that concern he has when he notices the bruises on him and then Cassian without explaining himself first begins to tell him what we know is a lie about what happened last night that you did when you left. he cleaned the house a little and then I fell asleep we decided that we were thirsty and you wanted to go digging but I said it was no use because there are too many people there I owe him money he begins to explain in braso the somewhat complicated alibi he has he needs him to be on board Agree and without missing a beat, Braso realizes that his friend needs his help and agrees to accept it.

You insulted my choice of Beverages as a host and supplier. This offended me. You come now to apologize. This is a great scene because it serves two purposes: one it tells us that what happened last night is not going to go away and Cassian is clearly worried about the consequences and two it shows us that these two people are good enough friends that one of them put. he himself is in danger for the sake of the other because of this, we can assume a lot of things about their relationship clearly, they have known each other for a long time, they probably have their own history of getting into trouble, but they always support each other.

I hate it when the dialogue will try to accomplish the same thing by telling you something that happened off screen, cuz, there's that guy whose uncle is my dad. I haven't seen you since that mission we did in Catron, yeah, where you almost got us killed. Hey, I'm a great pilot, but I'm impulsive and it's important that we tell ourselves these things out loud so we don't forget. Later in this episode they introduced Suril, the Imperial Deputy, who is obsessed with his job and you can immediately see that from the way he stands, from the seriousness with which he tries to speak, from the funny detail that he has taken the time to make his suit.

Have you modified your uniform perhaps slightly within seconds of this man appearing on screen? You already understand who he is and what he is. The interesting thing about this character and also Dedra, a similar character who is introduced later, is that you instinctively find yourself rooting for both of them even though they are the bad guys and why? How could this be on the screen in its funny form? little suit and I find myself sympathizing with him, well it's because we understand why he's doing the things he's doing in Ju a position with his boss in this scene he just wants justice but the company he works for tells him no , do not investigate this murder. in fact, don't pay attention to him at all because he might make us look bad, so while we obviously don't want Andor to get caught, you can still see the situation from Sill's point of view and say, hey, I mean.

There's a point where I don't want Zuko to be Captain of the Avatar, but once you see what he's been through and why it's so important to him, it feels more human to see someone who thinks he's doing something for the right reasons. He's always much more interesting than someone who is vaguely evil. It's also important that these characters are written to be intelligent because they couldn't have gotten to where they are if they weren't, they couldn't succeed the way they do if they weren't. They were just giant idiots that our heroes could defeat without breaking a sweat when someone comes up with a plan in this show it's meticulous, they take months to prepare they have to focus on the most minute details because the people they're fighting are Not only are they dumb and vulnerable, they have to find the smallest cracks through which they can escape, and even when they plan for months and the goal is generally a success, there are still repercussions and the Empire doesn't shrug and accept it.

Use it as an opportunity to increase your authority. They are not invincible, but they are pretty close to it. When I finished watching all eight episodes of Ahok, I sat down and thought about what really happened in this show, about the transformations that took place from the beginning. from the beginning of the series to the end and it's pretty much a thing that Thon brought out, that's all and sure they tell us that it's a big problem in this universe, but we needed eight episodes just to do that, how does something work with such a big budget?

I stretched so far in reverse when I got to episode four of Andor and he meets a group of rebels who tell him about their plan to pull off a big heist on the planet Aldani. I thought, oh great, so this is the whole series. What will play out until the end of the season is this Mission and then they rehearse and execute and deal with the consequences of it all at the end of episode 6. It was a three-episode art. I was so conditioned by the other two shows that they just assumed they would drag this plot point throughout the entire season, but the creators of Andor knew they had a lot more story to tell.

They thought this part was good, no no, we haven't even gotten to the best part yet, the best part of The Show is the Narina One prison sequence. Now I want to be careful when talking about this because I don't want to spoil it, but I'm going to spoil it, so you've been warned if you haven't seen this show. yet, and you're intrigued by It Go, watch all 12 episodes and then go back and finish the video, but make sure you go back because then I'll get two views so Cassian is taken to this place where the first thing they do.

It's showing you how they are in control if you misbehave or if you don't do your job or if you do your job but slower than everyone else, they will turn on the floors that will give you electric shocks, this prison doesn't need thousands of armed guards to keep you in your place. Firstly, it has its own built-in security and they are so confident in this system that they don't even feel the need for anyone to supervise the prisoners when they return to their homes. In the cells, they simply assign one of them to play that role in Cassian's apartment.

That person is Kino Lyd. Now Kino is both a companion and a prisoner. Could be it. Firm in his belief that if he simply does everything he is supposed to do. He'll be released when his number reaches zero. He doesn't seem fazed at all by the fact that his sentences are being arbitrarily doubled or tripled. He's just focused on doing everything he thinks he needs to do to get out of this place as soon as possible. It's possible now that Cassian. He spends weeks and then months here, trying to get all the information he can about this prison, but Kino doesn't change how many guards on each level you want to get out of here alive, he turns off that part of your mind that you think they have. you're listening, you think they care enough to make an effort, they don't need to care how many guards on each level it will take something much bigger than Cassian to disillusion this man and that's when a rumor starts that leaves a prisoner in the lurch. level four.

He finished his sentence and he was supposed to be released, but instead he was returned to prison, only in adifferent floor, and when word started to spread about this, they killed everyone on that floor just to prevent the rest of the prison from finding out. At the same time an old man named Ula who only has a few turns left in his sentence suffers a stroke, a doctor is sent to provide him with medical attention but the only thing he can do is put him out of his misery and now the old man is Out of service.

Of no use to the Empire in a prison where the only thing that matters is productivity while he's there, the doctor confirms the rumor about what happened on level two and this is where the reality of the situation is finally established for Ken. , no one will come out. It doesn't matter how well you play when your opponent has control of the rules. One last time, Cassian asks him the same question. How many guards are there on each level? Never more than 12. This got me so excited I was on my feet. Screaming and screaming, I started barking at the TV and of course the next episode where they actually escaped from prison was so entertaining to watch and everything that built up to these moments was so perfectly crafted and paced that not only It was good by Star Wars standards, it was one of the funniest stretches of television I've seen in years, but again, this whole thing didn't just happen because they thought it would be cool to put together a show.

This serves a larger purpose in the overall story. This is the most transformative event of Cassian's life. At the beginning of the show, this guy Luthan approaches him. a chance to join his rebellion and he doesn't give a shit. He has never been about fighting the Empire. He's just trying to survive. His motivation is money and protecting his family. That is sure. There are moments throughout the Alon Arc where he starts to be introduced to other perspectives, starts to show subtle signs of leadership, sees someone who reflects some of the worst parts of himself, and maybe realizes that I don't know if that's who he is. the guy I want to be, but even when he's done with it and gets paid, he hasn't changed much, all he wants to do is take that money and go to Space Miami, where he can stay out of trouble, it won't be until they throw him in this heartbreaking prison where you can see for yourself how evil these people are.

They didn't even arrest him for his double murder? By the way, he received a 6 year sentence for looking suspicious on a beach. Now is where he sees firsthand how subhuman the Empire views everyone, that there are prisoners wasting their lives. Working here motivated solely by the promise of Freedom and not even realizing that they will die before trying this is the inciting incident that fundamentally changes who he is and that's how a character develops is also very interesting. story of sacrifice and working towards a larger goal at the expense of what you want Cassian initially just wants to be left alone why is this my problem? purpose within this movement, take advantage of the opportunity, everyone who is part of this Rebellion is sacrificing something to do it and, honestly, the result is something beautiful.

Luthan, as one of the leaders of this Rebellion, is very much the face of that idea he has. incredible speech where he says: what should I sacrifice everything? I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I will never see. This is not about me. This is not about us. It's about creating. something for the greater good and then I think about how they made Sabine put the entire galaxy in danger so she could save one man. The gap between Andor and Ahsoka in terms of writing quality is the size of the Grand Canyon.

Live or die trying to die I choose to live take all the money you found and go find some peace I won't have peace I'll be worried about you all the time that's just love nothing you can do about it what an amazing line to get out of a random Star Wars show and every time someone delivers a monologue in Andor it's so inspiring it makes me want to walk through a brick wall, they don't have enough gods and they know it, if we wait until they realize it it'll be too late and I would rather die trying to defeat them than give them what they want in Ahsoka.

I feel like sometimes the writers forgot what universe their show takes place in. There is a scene where Hera has to have a meeting in front of the members of The. Intergalactic Senate and listen to the reasons they give for not believing their story, but this report reads like a children's fairy tale. Star maps, star whales, distant galaxies, honestly, are we supposed to believe any of that, dude, you're literally in Star Wars, what are you talking about? oh you want me to believe there's some kind of other galaxy out there that has a map leading to it, it seems to me now get out of my sight, a lime green alien with tentacles for hair, also where the creators of Andor avoided deliberately C free the other.

The shows seem to have been built around them, it's like they feel obligated to throw a familiar character in front of us every time they think people are starting to lose interest and the courtroom scene is boring. I don't even know who these people are. watch 3PO I know that guy oh the whales are back wake me up when this is over Hayden Christensen from Little Italy what I like seeing characters I know return to the screen is fun I'm not trying to ruin your parade yes I enjoyed this but can there be substance On it?

Can we raise our standards a little? I think if I were to try to thematically categorize the new Star Wars that works versus the new Star Wars that doesn't, a lot of what's said about what doesn't work seems to be taking familiar characters and putting them in a new environment where what has worked has done in mostly the opposite. I think when you approach something like Empire and say, What if we told this story from a completely new perspective? That's how you can develop something we're familiar with in ways we might never have considered, whereas when you start with one character and then try to get an entire show out of your ass, it's going to be a lot harder to find a worthwhile story.

Plus, when you make a spin-off series about a person whose life we ​​already know intimately, you lose the ability to use one of the most fundamental tools of storytelling. Character development, a foundation of almost every good story ever told, involves a triple. dimensional character that grows and changes in some way and when you take someone who has already experienced that in the past, it's hard to do it again without first devolving a little bit and that's not fun to watch. I don't want to see an Obi-Wan Kenobi, suffering from PTSD, afraid of conflict before returning to the guy we thought he was.

It's like when you play a video game sequel and they have to come up with some complicated way to justify the fact that they nerfed all your abilities. which you had at the end of the last game so you can learn them all again and forgot how to use the force, yes, it remembered the video game theme, although I think that's somewhere where Star Wars has done a good job of expanding this. universe in a valuable and additive way, particularly the Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor games are really fun even though they released the second one in an indefensible state of Brokenness, but that's how games are now, we can't blame ourselves if everyone is doing. but this game is another example of, hey, you don't have to keep using the same four characters over and over again, let me experience something new, it can still take place within a world I'm familiar with, but give me a new protagonist to learn, show me Star Wars from an alternative perspective and let me live within it, that more than anything else is what takes me back to the feeling that Star Wars gave me as a child and I think it's something they desperately need more of. .

I have it so easy. Protect the cliff. Locals look at the landscape. Nobody gets past me. Not without an explosion. I will forge the path there in your honor. It's time to fight, but so that Star Wars regains the reputation it once had. It will have to come in the form of consistently good movies and TV shows and even with how good Andor was, I don't have the confidence to believe this is a sign that there will be more to come because so far this has proven to be the exception to the rule Tony Gilroy came in and proved that when you're not afraid to bring something new to the table to avoid cheap cameos instead of real storytelling, you shouldn't just follow the formula created 46 years ago to make something this good. that it doesn't even have to be Star Wars for it to work like Obi-Wan Kenobi had to be Obi-Wan Ahsoka had to be Ahsoka the stories these shows told were so weak that no one would have given a damn about them if it wasn't full of faces well-known Andor is a show that takes place in the Star Wars universe and I don't think Disney had any interest in continuing to tell those kinds of stories when I was a kid that I would think about. all the blank spaces that could be filled in the Star Wars Universe.

I thought so excitedly about all the planets and the monsters and the Jedi that were out there doing their thing, it seemed like there were endless possibilities and yet the more they expanded into this universe, the smaller it started to feel like there were more stories to be had. count or are we just going to keep finding ways to repackage the old ones because if that's the case, I don't know how much more Star Wars we need.
