    Agreed. As an old school Star Wars fan, Disney, in my opinion, has soured the franchise for me.

    Mandalorian started well, but I was bored by the middle of season 2. Boba Fett had a few good moments, but it was such a fan service show, it was irritating to watch and incorporating half a season of Mando into it didn’t help. Obi Wan was a completely pointless story that added nothing to the saga. Again, more fan service of wanting to see Vader and Obi-Wan face off again. Andor was the only show that felt like real Star Wars.

    I can’t believe the next film is for The Mandalorian, haven’t we had enough of him already. I was really looking forward to Rogue Squadron, shame it was cancelled.

      I’m still in awe at their decision to make the action scenes be a bunch of a dudes shooting at a guy in armor that can’t even be beat by lightsabers and thus having zero stakes.

      Which makes no sense, btw, even in Disney canon the Jedi were what tilted the tide in the various Mandalorian Wars.

      It does make Windu casually beheading Jango even more baller though, so, eh…
