I think I agree with nearly all you said, Minch. But I think it would be much easier to read and comprehend if there were some line breaks or paragraphs in your post. 😃

Maybe try to find what you do enjoy in Star Wars too. The OT will be forever and the preservation projects on here and “sister sites” ensure this.

Caston’s post and my post in The 2008 Clone Wars messes up continuity thread may have highlighted some of the many issues with Lucasfilm bullshit claims and rules on canon, and George/Filoni’s retconning and re-writing of other creatives’ material for their own projects.

So yes, Lucas sucks since the mid 1990’s, and Filoni since TCW. But there is still much quality to enjoy in Star Wars:

Andor is truly great, in levels of quality across all aspects not seen in Star Wars for many ears. Visions is fun and cool too, in a different way: short stories that many of have dreamed of when we were younger finally being told, and more episodes to come. 2003 Clone Wars is a fun and mad watch for many too: before the Dark Times, before the Retcons! This season of Bad Batch has improved dramatically with its storytelling and weight, and has surpassed 2008 Clone Wars and Rebels, for me. And I look forward to that final season.

The Acolyte series looks it may be something more like Andor too in quality. Mangold’s Dawn Of The Jedi film will probably be as well, and going on his past work, it’ll be a Star Wars film with an epic feel to it once again, I hope!

Even High Republic novels and comics remain free of Filoni retcons and Kennedy firing directors (writers for this) so far! lol

And the coming Skeleton Crew series will also be free of Filoni too. Amblin type adventures in the GFFA? I’ll give that a fair go!
