re: Star Wars loses another. Damon Lindelof exits the project

Star Wars is basically a dead IP at this point. The sequels were so creatively bankrupt they can’t do anything in that era. The new actors don’t want to do any more Star Wars either so they can’t continue those stories either. And Disney clearly doesn’t have the balls to bet hundreds of millions on more prequel movies. They are screwed

The sheer insanity of the sequel trilogy has been amazing.

If they had only done the D+ series and the Star Wars Tales movies (Rogue One, Solo), everyone would be in love with them. Andor fills in the OT timeline with some much-needed maturity (it did political drama far better than Lucas' prequels), and The Mandalorian- without the sequel movies in the way- would start laying out the progression afterwards, with some new perspectives that still fall in line with what fans want.

The problem is, they completely fricked the story with those sequels. Nobody wants to see things progress to that level of disaster, so the further we move towards that, the more the plots will be hated.
