1. Keep it civil.
2. Keep it Star Wars related.
3. No memeposts. Memes are great and everybody loves them, but there is already !starwarsmemes@lemmy.world for those.

Man it’s hard being a fan who genuinely dislikes a good amount of the Disney stuff for reasons other than “mouse worked my show, woke bad!”
The ST was an unplanned, nonsensical mess which there is no excuse for given the experienced directors, money thrown at it, and IP that landed in their laps.
Rebels was good, Resistance was a hot mess.
Rogue One was great, still watch it on a regular basis with the OT/PT
Solo was meh.
First 2 seasons of Mando were great.
Mando season 3 sucked.
BOBF sucked.
Kenobi sucked but seeing Alderaan was cool.
Andor was fucking amazeballs.
Ahsoka was ok.
Acolyte has just been really boring so far until Ep 5, which brought some good action and story. The writing and acting still need work though.
I don’t know what the answer is. A lot of the stories are good but they just aren’t executed very well. With Kenobi it was also the quality of the effects…like it wasn’t finished completely in post-production. I hope Ahsoka season 2 is better, and I hope they make things that you don’t have to have read 20 years of Legends to follow (even though they’re great and should be read).
I wanna hope that things will pick up, but it’s been 10 years and idk how long they can keep just being “ok” considering the IP, the tech, the money, and the experience behind the scenes that goes into all of it.
The trouble really started when they jumped into Ep 7 without anyone having a coherent vision for the whole trilogy. I still have no idea how that didn't occur to them.
