All modern day Star Wars shows and movies suck because that Universe is empty and boring


There is just nothing that writers can get out of there. Thats why they keep and keep returning to milk Luke, Lea, Darth Vader and Stormtroopers. Because without them there is nothing to shoot about.

You can see it in Bobba Fett that was snoose fest. Mandalorian has only one gimmick - baby Yoda. But that has been wearing off and it become "Villain of the week" show where Mandalorian has new adventures where he has to help someone to save something every week. Because writers just dont know what to do with main plot with Yoda. So eventually they just brought back Luke.

That Andor show will be even more boring.

Thats why in Force Awakens they made up copy of that Emperor, Empire and Darth Vader.

Kenobi is so boring because they cant create anything interesting from that universe for him.

It might have been more interesting if the rumor is true that if Lucas had continued the series it would have gone into world building with the "Whills" and also more of a dive into the Midi-Chlorians.

Doesn't sound like the stuff of blockbuster potential, but it would have introduced some new things and may have proved fun and interesting for the Star Wars series.

The last time Star Wars was great. Ronald Reagan was still president.

Agreed. Only one episode in this show and disappointed we have Leia when this show is about Kenobi. I did crack up laughing when one of the kidnappers ran deliberately into a tree branch so at least there is some comedy.

I haven't read the books but there are certainly great video games which explore this Universe beyond its 10 major characters and do it pretty well.
