I meant in writing and directing a feature film. I guess you could consider Rebels significant in that some its characters ended up in the live shows, I’m the guy who says animation and live action action/ EU should be separate. I’m totally opposed to the concept of one canon. The Marvelization of Star Wars. Its lead to it being like butter scraped over too much bread and the films being abandoned. Star Wars was once a mighty multibillion dollar film series that can’t cut the mustard as streaming television. Disney has run it into the ground.
Can they recover somewhat probably. But oversaturation was reached long ago, quantity over quality. They made the same exact mistake with Marvel and are suffering for it with diminished box office.
I like Andor because it has something to say at least. Not much has been produced of any value, maybe Rogue One if you take out all the fan service. And some parts of the Last Jedi which are good storytelling and myth. JJ destroyed Star Trek and Star Wars and abandoned both.
Some of the comics and novels are excellent too but they are not movies. and yeah, Dave’s show’s I enjoy them but they are not on the same level as episodes 1-6.
Disney’s approach is just to make content and flood the zone with no regard to quality or even following Star Wars canon. Corporate assembly line product to meet prearranged in advance release dates. By committee of executives, they need to get out of the way and allow creative people to write and breathe life into this Star Wars universe with love for what came before.
All the corporate shenanigans and so-called creative differences they’ve tried to cover up are well known.
I’ve said my peace may the force be with you.
