Yes, I’d agree with much of that. It is also not much of a legacy for the OT characters, is it?

To me, the Mandoverse doesn’t seem to be well thought out or planned, in regards to the New Republic.

Although I must also say that, season 1 and some episodes of Season 2 of Mando apart, the writing for the Mandoverse in general has been poor. Vague, sketchy, and lacking in quality. Too often relying on memberberries and empty fan service, with poor set-up, puzzling plot and character decisions, resulting in unsatisfactory pay-offs. And some poor execution in general. Yet even then, the New Republic scenes do stick out as being particularly lacking.

At this point I’m not even sure an Andor-level series could rescue or repair this Mandoverse. I’d love to see such a show, I really would. But it would be more for personal head canon, than a corner turned in quality or a bar-raising event, like Andor should have been for other Star Wars shows.

It is why I’m looking forward to SW content that is free of Filoni+Favreau: The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew, Dawn Of The Empire. Far more than Ahsoka S2, Mando S4, or the NR Filoni film, which I’m not planning on watching. I just don’t want to be disappointed by any more underwhelming and flimsy F+F releases.
