The only difference is that I don’t take any enjoyment out of it but definitely a fascination I guess of how from my perspective, Star Wars has gone so wrong from what initially looked like such a promising start to the ST.
Fair enough. The ST definitely has parts that could bother some fans. Hopefully the future spin offs and TV shows will have a more unified appeal.
Probably the opposite, the spin-offs will likely have specific appeal while the future films will be the big tent SW content.
I understand that this topic is about Episode IX, but I will admit some of my thoughts on Star Wars content. I love the original and sequel trilogies. I liked the prequels when I was a kid, but over time, I’ve begun to have more of a distaste for them, but I don’t hate them or banish them like some do. I still consider them as part of the family. Rogue One was good, but it could’ve been a little better if the characters were developed stronger. Solo was quite dull to me, which was upsetting. I thought Alden Ehrenreich and Donald Glover were great as Han and Lando, but the movie wasn’t all that interesting, nor was the story to me. As much as everyone loves Dave Filoni’s shows, I’m not really a fan of his work. Clone Wars was very hit and miss to me, and Rebels, while I thought it was good, could’ve been much much stronger. Dave Filoni seems like he knows Star Wars well, but I feel like I’m watching someone try to make Star Wars, rather than making Star Wars. And that has nothing to do with the show’s being animated, I LOVE animation, I just don’t think it worked out with what Filoni was doing. However, I really loved the original Clone Wars micro-series. With the sequel trilogy, I felt that Abrams and Johnson knew how to write, direct, and make Star Wars. Filoni’s content just seems watered down in comparison, not necessarily by its target audience, but by its tone and elements.
