I hope we do get to see more Star Wars like this. It doesn’t all have to be the same, but more grounded, real, intelligent. A level up in quality across the whole range of qualities needed to make an engaging, compelling show.
Yeah, I hope so too. I’m not sure if Disney sees the writing on the wall, but with interest in “vanilla Star Wars” continuing to wane, and interest in gritty, nuanced prestige TV continuing to rise, moving the franchise in a more intelligent direction would be a very wise choice if they want people to keep watching their stuff. From what we’ve heard about The Acolyte and the Rey movie, it already seems like they’re trying to make Star Wars smarter, but we’ll have to see.
