This show has been a snoozefest.
I genuinely don’t get why Filoni is held in such high regard, as I tend not to like his stuff very much.It’s one thing to feel a season of a show would’ve been better as a film, but I feel this one would’ve been better as half a film. To have spend close to 8 hours on this story so far, it doesn’t feel worthwhile.
It’s five things:
- Zoomers and younger millennials grew up watching The Clone Wars
- He defended the prequels when it was not quite very popular to do so
- The Clone Wars “fixes the prequels” by filling in some blanks and characterizing Anakin better, so it looks like Filoni is an expert
- He interconnects all his own stuff so it’s like a facsimile of the EU, you can watch TCW and Rebels and Bad Batch and the Disney+ shows and all the characters are going to cross over
- He has a reputation as “Lucas’s apprentice” because George Lucas told him some story stuff while making The Clone Wars, so he’s allegedly like the chosen successor
It’s not really about quality, more like recognition.
