The problems they have at LFL now are probably the same ones they used to have. It’s all so insular and self contained so nobody speaks up. In late 1990s George did all this garbage and everyone was too afraid to tell him. And anyway, it’s probably okay because it’s Star Wars and it can’t fail. In the Disney era they’re all busy patting each other on the back for their efforts, and even it they know it’s bad that’s okay because Star Wars can’t fail. Andor probably succeeded by pure luck because after Mando they threw a net out and picked five or six shows with different genre ideas, and somehow one was good.

Skeleton Crew is the latest example. It looks kinda weird and mediocre and it’s been made by two guys coasting along thanks to IP success. But I feel like maybe this is the end of things as they have been; I can’t see audiences caring as much now. I can see people getting fired but maybe that’s what is necessary. The current era needs to end and is unlikely to be sustainable.
