These stories have always been for kids but their beliefs they have continues to baffle me. They don’t understand context but only understand Star Wars on a very superficial level. There’s dark aspects to George’s stories but they’re told in a way that is more often than not light and hopeful. They however don’t shy away from addressing darker and more mature issues where needed. Disney Star Wars and a lot of storytellers have forgotten this. You don’t need your characters to be perfect to teach kids. It’s okay for them to know you’ll fail sometimes.
I would say Rogue One is an exception to this, maybe Solo too in the characterisation of Han.
Anthology films were a good way of doing something a little different from the main films, and also stepping away from George and previous ideals and factors. It unfortunate we do not see more of them. Or more anthology series like Visions.
