That shit happened to me in 2008. Went from reading the novels as they came out to completely dropping the entire franchise, since then I've kinda just observed it from afar.
Maybe it's because I'm just an outsider to it now, but good grief there just seems like there's so much of it. Disney (that's who owns it right?) is really getting their moneys worth imo. And it all looks like shit, frankly.
My kids aren't even interested in it, but maybe that speaks to my being out of touch with kids now of days more than my children's dislike of SW.
I summed up everything that I'd call "good" or better in the Star Wars TV and movie canon a few days ago in another thread and it's depressing how much of the franchise is slop - but Disney is just carrying the torch, they didn't start the fire.
Anyway the worthwhile TV and movie bits are: the original trilogy, the clone wars TV movie (the 2D animated one, not the 3D one that I linked), the Mandolorian Season 1, and Andor seasons 1 & 2. Everything else can be skipped.
oh lord that movie is so bad and should've gotten the TV show cancelled or substantially reworked
The show ended up being one of the best parts of Star Wars imho, the spinoffs Bad Batch and Tales of the Jedi/Empire/Underworld are all good too
I've tried to watch it and I'm sorry to say that it actually sucks. Even the "good episodes" that people have specifically recommended to me suck. It's written for babies and the animation looks like garbage.
Bad Batch shit the bed. They wanted to do a legends style clone rebellion but then cut it short. I can’t believe battlefront handled the kamino rebellion much better.
2nd, I still think of Umbara from time to time
All my homies hate Pong Krell
nah spider maul and "the family" are irredeemable.
It got the show green lit. The movie was the pilot if I recall
yeah it was the pilot and it was dogshit. dunno how the series was allowed to proceed.
The series from what I saw was as well. I tried like 10 episodes or so like 10 years ago cause every nerd ever said it made the prequels not suck. The show is trash and holy shit anakin and ashoka are such a 2000s 19 year old dating a 15 year old vibe
The first season is pretty rough. There's some solid episodes in it, but at the end of the day it's still a show for 10 year olds in a slop franchise lol.
