    It feels like this movie is coming too late and has missed the boat for the fans who enjoyed the show. I don’t even remember most of it now and I long since removed it all from my Plex server.

      It doesn’t help that the last season was terrible.

      Fun western styled isolated adventures? No! Epic tie in to all the rest of the dumb new SW storyline!

        I loved the first season and really enjoyed the second. Then fired up the third only to discover that a chunk of related action had taken place in a whole other show, and that was the point at which I gave up on caring about anything Disney have their hands on. I won’t be made to do homework just so I can enjoy a fucking TV show.

        The only exception was Andor, because Rogue One was top notch and I wanted to see how they got to it.

      You’re right, we all died.

      Yeah there is a certain amount of time before it just feels like a rehash of things im over with. I mean when there is a large pent up call for more content because it was dropped before fans got their fill. Like firefly. I mean makes some sense but even that is tough after so much time.

    Has anyone else fallen out of love with Star Wars? Don’t want to be a downer, but serious question. Maybe it was about “what it could have been?” But also clone wars tv shows felt right from someone growing up with episode 4-6 and seeing 1-3 in theaters as a teenager was cool.

      I’m with you. I can’t believe how many shows, movies and everything that are out there. I just don’t really care anymore.

      I still enjoy the originals and some parts of the prequels, but Disney has done their thing and made it into a Disney universe.

      Star wars is ruined. It used to be regarded as our society’s mythology, literally it was on that level of being revered, but now it’s just another oversaturated commodity on the grocery shelf made bland by corporate committees

      I was a massive Star Wars fan but the prequels dampened my spirit a bit.

      Force Awakens, which is basically Star Wars Greatest Hits album, I really enjoyed but episodes 8 and 9 disappointed.

      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.

    The stylisation of the title lends itself to pulp-adventure stories, as if an old-timey radio announcer was about to tell you what happened “Last Time on… THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU!”.

    The poster that this logo is on looks like a grey mush.

    They don’t know what they want this movie to be. It is going to be mush.

    When they threw away ALL of the extended lore and stories and then later said “we can’t write good stories cuz we have no source material to use” was when I knew that star wars was truly dead. Not to say there aren’t gems here and there. As a whole, the star wars we loved and grew up with, no longer exists.

    I’ll probably see this but watching the trailer, it just doesn’t feel like a film. It looks like expensive TV footage.

    Man. The only reason to watch this might be Pedro. Maybe. Grogu is rapidly approaching Minion level.
