The part about "making sense" is what I call fast food references. People easily identify with what they already know, and it's one of the laziest ways to create something, similar to a FanFiction. No need to create something that stands on its own, just make a bunch of references and the peasants will be happy and gleeful.

Andor really met a lot of these criticisms head on. One singular creative vision, an emphasis on world-building and practical effects, and layered but easily understandable and sympathetic characters. It has almost no fan service at all and it’s beautiful.

The worst part about these shows is that The things that you're seeing don't even look right. In the movies everything that you see looks like what it's supposed to be (when the characters are in a forest, it actually looks like they're in a forest, same when they are in a city , or when they're in a desert, etc.). In these shows though, every place looks like it's shot in a room.

I was at a loss when I watched the first episodes, not knowing who was targeted by the show, and why it felt so disheartening. You really put it into words perfectly, the first 6 movies really pulls everyone together, no matter your age, it is an universal demographic. Thanks for the great video (even if it's a rant haha)

I really liked only one of the Disney Star Wars movies and that was Rogue One. That one was really great and I think it is because it incorporated this exact Star Wars formula you are talking about.

8:43 He's not just bold, Obi-Wan is brave, he is a hero, and a damm good hero. He is the combination of cheeky, sardonic, wise and brave. It was depressing to see him cower scene after scene.

This is my favorite explanation of the problem with "adventure" films nowadays. Some of the great quotes... "Like walking through a star wars gift shop" "Just because you can feed your kids trash doesn't mean you should" "Breaks the illusion of an authentic world" This stuff is making kids dumb. It's like if your diet was only corn syrup. All these garbage shows suck by design. They suck in your attention and give nothing back. The first thing you do after watching one is go looking for food because of the physical empty feeling in your stomach. Fantastic video.. lot of clarity and depth. I'm subscribing for sure my dude.

This is actually sad but it needs to be said and heard and heeded especially . Easier said than done apparently but I felt the timelessness of proper Star Wars in your video. Someone who cared about source material and not just symbolic skins on interchangeable formulas.

While I do think obi-wan could have been better, but I did like the dynamic between obi, the force and vader, especially the finale. It might be because I can empatise with the traumatic experience changing people part. I would have loved to see the old obi come back more profoundly though.

It's hard to say who dropped the ball the hardest with the Sequels...was it JJ Abrams for doing a soft reboot of the original in The Force Awakens and breaking the narrative flow? Or is it RJ for completely throwing our expectations out the window (for better or worse) and breaking the lore? Or is it JJ for his utter failure at tying all of it together as something resembling a satisfying, cohesive package? Just a bewildering, ultimately disappointing mess. And yes...would have benefited so much from a singular vision.

I thought the same with The Mandalorian. Could not get into it. Then I see Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor coming out and I'm concerned and not interested. I was once excited for Disney's buying Star Wars. I think they did a good job. Up to a point. Now they seem to be making content. Not Star Wars.
