    It’s pretty clear Disney had no fucking clue what they were doing with Star Wars after they acquired it.

    One might argue that they still don’t have a clue.

      Solo proved that to me, the whole mystery of han just completely washed away by making a single film that shows every reason for everything about him.

      Its like they were just going down a checklist

      “Oh so we do the kessel run, and how he met chewey, and get this we show why his last name is solo and its just the lamest shit ever, oooh oooh lets also give him a love interest that was never referenced again ever!”

      “WRITE THAT DOWN PATRICK ALL OF IT”

      like the key and peele sketch about gremlins 2

      Statistically, it probably tracks that Rogue One, Andor, and The Acolyte are good simply because eventually something won’t suck if you put together the right combination of artists by accident.

          Yeah, I enjoyed it. Far cry from the snoozefests of Boba Fett: Sand Mayor, Obi-Whine, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Ass in a Flight Suit.

              It’s the only compelling part of Ahsoka.

              It’s rare to see Rosario Dawson’s assets eclipsed.

                Ray Stevenson’s character was worth every second I invested on this show.

                Plus I liked the witch stuff and some of the fights were alright.

                My feeling is that often these expensive shows tend to become a blob for all in order to reduce the rating for TV14.

                I mean, is there such an audience that cares for Ahsoka as a character and is under 18?

                  I just didn’t find it compelling, and there were no real stakes.

                  In contrast, The Acolyte had a few layers and kept bringing up new questions every time one was answered, and kept us on our toes since nobody was wearing plot armor.
