It felt like, well it shows, they had no plan for the trilogy. Abrams makes up a story and then Rian Johnson has to figure out how to continue it etc.

Then we all thought that Mandalorian was going to be the coolest TV show ever and then they introduced Grogu. You obviously can't expect Disney to pander to 40 something year old nerds exclusively but I can't deny it was disappointing.

Obi-Wan show was a story that didn't really need to exist and felt like fan pleasing.

Boba Fett was fan pleasing onto a whole new level and then turned into Mando season 2.5.

I couldn't get into Ashoka, the Acolyte was really disappointing and Skeleton Crew was basically Star Wars Goonies but was really enjoyable.

I'm hoping the Ryan Gosling film turns out to be good. I wish wish we had the Rogue Squadron film as well.

More content set in the Star Wars universe that isn't connected to stories we've already had please.

Andor andor andor. It's soo good, and with so little fan service it's very surprising coming from Disney.

Andor is really the best thing Disney did since getting the Star Wars franchise.

Rogue One was also surprisingly brilliant and despite the general negative reviews, I really like Solo as well.

You took it a step further than I did. I saw 7-9, the first two seasons of Mandalorian and rebels. It was too much and saw the signs to just stop, but kept hoping. Rogue One was the hope in the right direction.

Watch Andor. Trust me. Best Star Wars in a looong time, maybe ever. It took me a few episodes to get properly into it, but boy did it pay me back.
