We have our very first anthology film and people are already complaining about fatigue.
You know, yeah it’s definitely silly to complain about fatigue, especially since is only the fifth non-bullshit Star Wars movie in 40 years. But I do think it’s a legitimate fear. I think, quality aside, RO definitely did end up being much more of a classic SW film than many were expecting, and much more directly linked to the main saga (and much less standalone). If these spin-offs don’t become more of their own thing, I definitely would begin to worry about over saturation.
Not yet of course, though I will admit, when the classic end credits popped up at then end, one of my first thoughts was that something here didn’t feel right. Maybe I’m just used to having to wait 3 years or more (forever it at one point seemed) for new Star Wars, but there is a part of my that doesn’t think we should have been getting a random SW tale in the one year in between VII and VIII. Maybe I’m just crazy like that?
