Yotsuya, do you criticize anything in Star Wars, ever? Or is everything Disney puts out all just good and meaningful to you? I’m genuinely curious to know if there’s anything in Star Wars from, let’s say, the past twenty years, that you genuinely dislike?
It’s just weird to me that you’re on this forum of all places, where the conceit is that Star Wars has been mishandled but could be improved in the editing room like ANH was, yet you seem to think everything that’s been released has been flawless in every way.
I disliked a lot of the EU books. I’m not a fan of the newer comics and the old Marvel ones only because they were so cheesy. I also think The Book of Boba Fett was a mixed up mess. It was good, but it could have been better. They missed on out several opportunities and the episode pacing was horrible (why was there basically a Mando episode instead of breaking that out over more episodes?).
I also think TFA was a horrible film. It has fantastic character scenes but not much of a cohesive story. And AOTC fails on so many counts. I’m also not a fan of about half the changes Lucas has made in his post theatrical tinkering. Mostly the extended pod race in TPM. The original was too long and the longer one is just way too long.
But no, I don’t have the problem with a lot of the new stuff that many here do. But you should get into a Star Trek discussion with me. I have some very harsh views on Discovery and Deep Space Nine. In comparison to what Trek has done, no Star Wars fan has anything to complain about.
