Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

  • Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
  • Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
  • Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

They should leave the Skywalker saga. There’s thousands of years & a whole galaxy to fill with stories, and they keep dancing in the same 100 years & the same planets.

Man if I see Saw Garrera appear in some obscure corner of the galaxy with a band of proto-rebels again I'm going to be mad, Cad Bane too, fun for a bit but how do we keep running into the same characters in a whole galaxy? I'm sure there were more but I always noticed how they kept appearing.

Well that's because they keep killing off all the compelling characters they could follow.

I'm not still bitter about Rogue One at all...

Or...and hear me out...come out with a newer, shittier trilogy every 20 years

[–] lemmy_get_my_coat@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Only if we ruin the characters from the previous trilogy with every new one we make.

There's the High Republic initiative. The Acolyte is part of that.

I haven't paid much attention to the High Republic stories, but the response seems to be mixed at best.
