Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

What Disney should do is focus away from the ~100 years that take place during the Skywalker saga. Theyre coming out with an old republic show, finally, after owning the property for over 10 years now. Its a big ass galaxy, fill it with something.

But of course, obligatory Tatooine plot

Of course. Everything important that ever happened has to involve a far-off backwater that nobody's even heard of.

(I actually like Tatooine's inclusion in KOTOR purely because it makes the planet an even more transparent Dune ripoff)
