None of that is on-brand for Star Wars in any way. Yes, yes, “it’s a setting,” but it’s also a style and a tone. Andor was pushing it a little, but fundamentally it was about finding hope and meaning, and being something better than your darkest temptations want you to be. Or, barring that, about sacrifice. I can handle some nuance, but there is nothing interesting to me about the hows and whys of an awful person’s efforts to do awful things, or just being scared and seeing death for its own sake.
If you don’t want to see a hypothetical movie or TV show, you can just not watch it if and when they make it. You know that right?
Absolutely, though I’d probably grumpily watch it anyway. To be perfectly honest, I’m mostly trying to do some mild click-bait trolling to put a little life into this magazine/community. Maybe it’ll take, or maybe it won’t, but I feel a sense of responsibility to add something since I took it over.
