    Rogue one and andor were amazing. Which tells me, Star wars can be great if they hire passionate directors/writers and stay the hell out of their way

      Lol, nobody got out of the way of the Rogue one director. A large portion of that movie was reshot and rewritten after the director was all but fired.

      And despite its troubles, I also enjoyed Solo on a second watch.

      But even The Mandalorian isn’t perfect. Some episodes were better than others. It was fine for a TV show. Same with Ahsoka. It’ll be interesting to see what they do with a bigger budget when the movie comes out.

        Solo would have been a success if they didn’t have to fire the directing duo and reshoot half the movie. It hugely inflated the cost of that film which made it a commercial failure in their eyes.

        I still watch Solo with my annual star wars watchthrough. Is it a great film? No. But it’s fun, and it’s light, and if doing a timeline watchthrough it works well. Ep 3 just ends, you’re feeling down because of the empire, but Solo brings you back up - right before the very very sad Rogue One

            It’s a good show. Not amazing like some people say, but it’s something you will probably enjoy.

            I never thought about it again after finishing it though.

              I just watched Andor. I enjoyed it more than the Mandalorian, and much more than the Obi Wan Kenobi series (so far).

        Don’t trust the hype it’s not that good.

        I still think mandalorian s1 is the only genuinely great star wars thing coming out of Disney.

          I really don’t know why people like Andor either. It seemed completely pointless and dull. Mandalorian was worth watching, though, tough it did get worse with time.

            I dislike most Star Wars media and thoroughly enjoyed Andor. Andor is very much unlike most other Star Wars media and that’s probably why a lot of Star Wars’ core audience disliked it. To each their own.

            It seemed completely pointless and dull.

            I get the opposite impression. To me Andor is one of the few pieces of media produced within the Star Wars’ IP to actually have a point at all instead of just being a series of flashy action scenes and nostalgia bait.

            I love Rogue One, but only because of the third act, and the music. By the Force, it is a slow first two acts.
