I must be experiencing Star Wars fatigue (at least for brand-new content) right now. I have no interest whatsoever in this show, despite all signs pointing to it being technically good.

Really, I think the issue is just that all the new content is just too run-of-the-mill. I’d like them to make something imaginative for once.

I understand that fatigue, though for me I associate it more with Filoni and Favreau content. I love Andor and am hoping we’ll see Acolyte as being closer to that, than another meh Mandoverse or Kenobi type series.

Because this is set 50 years before TPM it shouldn’t have those overused and empty memberberries or needless fan service that F+F like showcase. And I’m hoping this will be something different all around, maybe bringing some of the better High Republic era feel from the books and comics with it.

Although I am probing just hoping a little too much! 😉
