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.
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.
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.

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.
I’m with this guy.

I’m still all in.
What has been your favorite recently?
Andor
I heard that was the pretty good compared to the rest of Disney content.
100% Andor but I enjoy the Mandalorian and a lot of the other recent stuff.

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.

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.
I only watched ‘Attack of the Clones’, and didn’t get the hype.
