Half you don’t even watch the show

I gave it a shot, mostly because people like yourself seemed to be enjoying it. I had to tap out after ep 5. I honestly only made it that far because people had hyped up the saber fight, which was ok, but it felt like doing work rather than being fun. Maybe I am just too old for iStar Wars, but my 15 year old son quit watching with me after ep 3.

I can appreciate that some liked it, but I honestly can’t wrap my head around how. I found myself just annoyed at what might have been.

ETA: I am not a MAGA guy at all I’m not sure where the idea that disliking this show equates to that comes from

I am curious what people think is the best SW light saber fight all time.

Probably ROTJ's Luke vs Vader. Luke approaching the conflict with passive resistance only to fail when continually goaded by Vader, culminating in Luke placing all his faith on his father to do the right thing instead of trying to fight his way out of the fight, and succeeding, was peak Star Wars. Lucas was absolutely at the top of his storytelling.

The fact that modern American politics are being discussed in a Star Wars topic is proof that Disney has completely destroyed the franchise

I think most people would acknowledge that this series had the potential to be really good, even better than Andor. If they wanted this series to really be about the Sith and their rise, then i can guarantee you Star Wars fans would absolutely love a good show about that. Leslye keeps hinting that that's what this show is really about, the Sith, she just has no idea how to do that.
There's a reason why Qimir is the only bright spot in this show, b/c if he really is a sith, then we all would really love to know who taught him, and where Plageuis fits into all of this, and eventually Palpatine. And hell, i don't care if Master Nepotism is an actual Sith (as it's obvious she trained Qimir). I actually think that would be really cool, if done well and leads to her death without anyone knowing her secret. Even with her terrible acting, a good story can trump bad acting usually.


I don't think there's a storyline you can pluck out of Star Wars that could be more interesting than that one, and what this show could be. Go hire competent writers and directors, go on with season 2, listen to your fans and make Osha/Mae minor characters that fizzle out and focus on the actual Sith and what they are doing in the shadows while the Jedi have no idea. That show would have rave reviews if done correctly.

Knowing Disney, they'll double down on the stupidity just to try to prove their majority of Star Wars fans that didn't like this crap wrong, and they'll bomb again.

people don’t take jokes in this thread

remember Headland made R2D2 a lesbian.

I feel like we were all much better off with less access to the actors and writers opinions.
