The PT was definitely adult
Ah yes, because a cartoon alien stepping in camel poop while an annoying kid yells “Yippee!” is “definitely adult”. Are you sure we watched the same movies? The OT is way more mature than the prequels could ever hope to be.
Overall, I agree that “adult” doesn’t really mean “good”, but it’s still nice to get a more adult-oriented Star Wars thing. So far, this show has felt like the antidote to Boba Fett and Obi-Wan: the focus is on telling a compelling, mature story with mostly original characters, rather than cheap callbacks and cameos held together by a flimsy excuse of a plot. This is the first Star Wars thing since Mando season 1 that feels like there was actually passion put into it.
