Star Wars TV is draining me

I love Star Wars TV. I'm also getting really tired of it. Here's why.

The lightsaber spoon comment unlocked a core memory that I hadnt thought about in forever.

[@45545videos]

Dave Filoni himself said he didn't have a set ending to Mando yet. That's a huge red flag.

[@TheDen-ec9xe]

Decanonizing and ignoring the EU was a MASSIVE mistake. Imagine a live action show based on the grittier Republic comics, telling a more compelling story about the Clone Wars than TCW 2008 ever did : the disastrous Battle of Jabiim, Quinlan Vos' struggles with the Dark Side, amnesia and betrayal, the rise of terrorists like Grievous, Asajj Ventress and Durge, giving the spotlight to minor characters. Imagine a show based on the Legacy comics, set 130 years AFTER the OT, starring Cade Skywalker and his struggle with his family's legacy, being a Jedi, while dealing with a new form of the Sith and a seemingly benevolent new Empire. Imagine a show and movies based on the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, starring Kyle Katarn rise from rebel commando to Jedi Master and his apprentice, Jaden Korr, and whether he's a product of Imperial experiments or not. Imagine a show about Adalric Brandl, a Force sensitive actor who is recruited by the Empire and becomes an Inquisitor, only to defect and go his own way. Imagine KOTOR 1, 2 and the comics being adapted. This and so much more is what we gave up in 2014. For what ? Tincan dad and Baby Yoda ? Kenobi ? Boba Fett ? The Sequels ? A worse rehash of the Thrawn trilogy by Dave Filoni with his own original characters ?

[@dirtyfilthysniper]

Tbf to Obi-Wan Kenobi, I don't think the main problem was too much content (even though I agree that most of the characters/event really had no purpose in the show). Personally, I think the main reason the show didn't work for me was the fact the central conflict (Obi Wan getting over Anakin) didn't really resolve to much. I think a movie would have worked better but I feel Disney just wanted to get that sweet marketing shot of Obi-Wan vs Vader (my dirty ass definitely wanted to see that fight I admit it)

[@LordVader1094]

The show was also completely unnecessary, because Obi-Wan already got over Anakin. He wouldn't need 10 years and a bunch of fights. He already knew Anakin was Vader in Revenge of the Sith, and Yoda and him talk about how "the boy you once knew is gone".

[@doemaaan]

Can never get enough Andor praise. Been looking at tons of videos reviewing and dissecting that season and your vid popped up. Appreciate the (funny) recaps on the prior shows too. One thing I’ll add is that after 4 episodes of Ahsoka, I think I’m done. Andor has spoiled me for what Star Wars content should be… Plus I don’t find it that good to begin with 🙄. Characters sucks, the acting is… questionable, dialogue suuuucks, pacing is slow af and the show treats the viewer like an idiot. But don’t worry, for someone like me who’s never seen Ahsoka outside of Mando, I REALLY feel and understand the relationship she has with all these other people from all these other shows. Oh look! Is that Anakin?!?

[@gabrielgalban]

I think the problem indeed of sw Disney doesn't move forward and permanently turning around with all characters secondaries. It has become the walking dead is turning around without needs spine off and now the walking is full of spines off.

[@BrianHartman]

I don't think the problem with TBOBF was its reliance on other shows. You could survive not knowing who Cad Bane was while watching the show. You got enough context to know he's an old enemy of Boba Fett. That's all I knew when I saw the show. I think the real problem with the show is that it had about as much of a plot as your typical porno. We didn't even know who the main antagonist was until the penultimate episode. That's not okay. And the other problem was all the flashbacks. It should've been told in a more linear fashion so that you had a reason to care about the flashbacks, instead of constantly being interrupted by them. I do, however, think that sending Grogu back to Din Djarrin within TBOBF was a mistake. Not so much because you're obligating people to watch other content, but because that was too short a time for Grogu to be away. It seems like an idea they came up with, and then immediately abandoned when they decided it would hurt The Mandalorian's ratings. They didn't have anything for Grogu and Din to *do* when Grogu came back, because they obviously hadn't planned on Din still having to babysit Grogu. I thnk that's how Din's plot got sidelined. (I won't say that Din himself got sidelined, because he was still a major focus of all the episodes in season 3. It's fair to say that Bo Katan's *mission* took precedence in season 3, but Din was still the focus. As for Andor, I thought the pacing of the first 6 episodes was awful. It was acceptable that not much happened in episodes 1 and 2. Those were just set up and world building. Fair enough. But the 3-story arc doesn't work if nothing happens until the third story. Episodes 4 and 5 were just sitting around and talking. That works in a play, or in a written story, but film is a visual medium. The characters have to *do* things. Once they got to the prison, things got moving again, but it really didn't start to get consistently *good* until episode 6.

@@zogwort1522 I’m just an average Star Wars fan. I’m not claiming that everything LucasFlims does is a gem, but when I go looking for reviews i typically find one of two things. Super fan boys that know all the lore. Read all the books. Have message boards set up to discuss all the intricacies. Or just the Anti Woke Disney crowd who just hate everything. Finding something that kind of aligns with the way I think is rare. I like the points this channel makes, it’s similar to my own mindset. Hopefully I’m not alone. I feel this channel was honest. I hope it grows and gets bigger and better.

Alternate obi wan plot start leia(14) and bail organa on coriscant. Bail is trying to get humanitarian aid to the outer rim instead of increasing military spending. Imperial official asks him to stop he refuses. Senate doesn't give a rip about aid surprise surprise. Leia who is being trained in diplomacy suggests she go to the rim to help as much as she can while bail looks for patrons. While there Leia is captured by pirates. Bail asks the imperials for help the same official from earlier tells him to pound sand, so he reaches out to obi wan. Cut to obi wan, obi wan sad boy he feels like a failure and that he has nothing worth fighting for. Luke is fine and everyone he cared for is dead or gone for good. Very sad. Obi wan is bitter and doubtful and not as kind. He sees bails sos and doesnt feel up to the task/ doesn't care. But the next day sees two slaves a young boy and his mother being mistreated. He lowers his head and moves on. Then on his way home he sees Luke in his binoculars and has a force vision of Luke in black with a red lightsaber with his mother and sister lying dead in the sand. He decides he has to save Leia as a debt to padme and Anakin. Obi wan fights the pirates gets to Leia but is forced to leave her behind as his escape plan falls apart. Leia knows they won't kill her so she gives him time to flee even though she just met him and could have been the one to get away showing once again her strong character. Obi wan is distraught and guilt stricken knowing he can't save Leia as his control over the force/ his emotions is pretty bad right now. So he decides to force the empire to save Leia by baiting them to the pirates with the most wanted man in the galaxy himself. This plan works. He fights an Inquisitor and gets away and Leia is free. But instead of freeing her bail informa obi wan that they took her to a black site for questioning. As an official diplomat they can't put her in a real prison yet the Senate still has some power. Vader hears about this and decides to question Leia himself. Meanwhile bail and obi wan plan how to save Leia. They pay some pirates to create a fake distress signal drawing away the star destroyer and get a small squad of men to help obi wan and they find pretense for his being their a bunch of Jedi artifacts are being held at the same sight which obi wan must also steal. Finding leia a tough nut to crack vader is eventually called away up to his star destroyer. Obi wan has been watching for his chance, not wanting to confront the unknown sith Lord (who he suspects may be Anakin, terrifying him). He makes his move. Sneaking around as well he can until he has to blast Leia out. He grabs the artifacts and Leia escapes with her men who are disguised as the same pirates that originally took her. Obi wan gets in his own ship hoping Vader will chase him instead. He does. They have a dogfight where Vader wants to take him alive. As Vader tries to get in front of obi wan cutting off his escape they briefly see one another. Vader tries to use the force to stop obi wans ship but obi wan thinks of Luke and Leia and instead of fear finds hope in seeing his old friend. Obi wan manages to wrench vaders controls while he is distracted, seeing obi wan shakes him a little too. And then he blasts off into hyper space leaving Vader suspicious but the empire none the wiser. This story is intentionally similar I think it works much better.

Star Wars drained me years ago. I haven't watched one show. Saw the original in 1977, it was an amazing experience. Captivated everyone. It's time for it to maybe just fade away.

[@GhostCyphr_Gaming]

I miss when all these show ideas would've just been books, like I get the legends stuff was all over but at least for most of the content it was cool and you saw star wars actually handle different takes of the universe.

[@ryancannon5921]

What I love about the prequels is; It's not just about nostalgia, or how Anakin became Vader, or how he met Padmé, or what happened to the Jedi, it's a political drama. It's how the Emperor rose to power, how the Republic was so absorbed in a seemingly endless war and was taken over by a dictator who changed the outcome of an entire galaxy.

I'm probably never going to like a lot of Star Wars shows that happen today, even if they are good. This is primarily because I really liked the original 3 movies and watched them in the theatres when they were new, BUT then the prequels (which were way better and prettier than the sequels) kind of ruined the Jedi, the force, and Darth Vader for me and I kind of stopped watching. I did watch the first sequel movie only to discover that by comparison the prequels were better. But hey, it would certainly be better if Disney made GOOD shows about Star wars.

Whilst I don’t have a problem with continuous Star Wars content be it a movie, show or game the shows are severely lacking due to outside interference from other producers (Kathleen) who insist on meddling with the creation just so they can add “popular” trends into it to make the show quote “diverse.” Star Wars is already beyond diverse as it is.

I was 9 when the OT finished and I loved it. When the prequels came out I was adult and they felt off, but recently I was talking to a friend that was 9 when the prequels came out and he preferred them over the OT. It made me realise, maybe Star Wars has not changed that much, I have. As you say, you can't be 9 again, so it will never be the same. You just have to enjoy it for what it is, space opera made to appeal to a wide age range. They made an adult Star Wars series; Andor. It was great, but hardly anyone watched it!

[@TheDen-ec9xe]

I had no hype towards The Mandalorian and I still find it a mediocre space western that was only well received because of TRoS. Season 2 was a glorified showreel of upcoming Disney+ shows, and Season 3 was just underwhelming garbage. Andor is just plain overrated. "OOOOOOH It's Gooooood cuz it's edgy, and grounded, and gritty". It's yet another generic Rebels vs Empire story, only this time from the perspective of a bunch of disposable British blue collar stereotypes vs British white collar stereotypes, flat disposable characters, zero imagination, boring stakes, Ep. 4-6 are just a Rogue One remake on a dime budget, the prison arc overstays its welcome REALLY fast and the subplot about the Separatist rebel being sacrificed (which would have been infinitely more interesting) was only left as a background mention. So NO, it's not the best Star Wars we ever got.

Whaaat? A character has to pull off a heist and escape from prison? Which has been a writing trope for centuries? How incredibly derivative, what poor quality! You seemingly know as much about film history as you do creative writng. And if you really want to nit-pick, be my guest. The theft in Andor wasn't perceived as a feat of a large organized rebellion which didn't even exist at that point, but an expected act of rebellion from a tiny rebelling group of which they barely had any grasp. Stealing the Death Star may have been their first large victory, but it was never the absolute first.
