beloved franchise
Me, a borderline '77 purist:
The way I see it, the franchise has been coasting off of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back for over 40 years now and almost nothing since has lived up to that standard of quality. Andor, ROTJ, TLJ, and the original Battlefront games are all that come close to me (and they don’t come all that close).
It’s like being a New York Jets fan. You had one amazing moment, and then the next fifty years were filled with mostly garbage. Star Wars is the New York Jets of media franchises.
