Imagine if it didn’t have the “Clone Wars Anakin” thing or any Thrawn…what the hell would anybody geek out about from it all? There’s just nothing to ponder or think about with these shows. They desperately need good co-writers for these shows, Tony Gilroy quality. We’re just constantly seeing concept stories greenlit and amateurs put in charge.
That would still leave Home One, E-Wings, Threepio, those weird cat things & various other memberberries. Not to mention fanservice/callbacks like Baylan’s hallway scene.
I’m somewhat amazed that the series didn’t get a radical edit to address the ponderous delivery of the dialogue at the very least. If Filoni is to be allowed to continue in live action, he needs his own Marcia Lucas until he becomes halfway competent, not that I think he has the talent to make it.
I agree with you. How did the Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi & the Mandalorian Season 3 end up being so poor? Terrible writing is one obvious answer. The other is Disney treating Star Wars & Marvel as content farms for Disney Plus, which seems to have led to series being pumped out without enough development, or even thought as to whether there is really any justification in telling these (half-baked) stories at all.
