Agreed. On the one hand, sometimes keeping things moving towards a cohesive vision is good, which I think Filoni has long done well with the multiple properties he’s worked on.

But sometimes, knowing when to respect someone else’s vision and give them the tools they need to realize that vision is more important. Andor remains the best thing to come out of Star Wars since the original trilogy for me, and I think it succeeds in part because of how different it dared to be. It wouldn’t have succeeded if it was forced to conform to a mold and tie in to everything else.

Hopefully Filoni can strike that balance, keeping it all together while giving other creatives a chance to do what they want.
