Since the start of the current decade of "Disney Star Wars" at the latest, I hardly see any added value in further Star Wars productions. For me personally, Kenobi, Boba Fett and the second/third season of Din Djarin were just a big billboard for the next series. The Marvel formula just doesn't work at all for the movie event character of SW. Meanwhile, it's starting to not seem to work for the superheroes/super villains either. Also, there hasn't been a single movie since the rise of Rey Palpatine. Serial content (tv show or streaming shows) mostly doesn´t get me as excited as a movie for e.g. Star Wars never reaches its full potential there. And I also hope that the streaming bubble of the various portals bursts soon. There were also so many things in the new The Acolyte trailer that don't appeal to me (or contradict the canon) and at first glance it seems like a fan project. I'm now reading more books from the 1990-2010s from the SW cosmos again. The stories aren't always great either - but they're still better than the current quality of Star Wars. Kathleen Kennedy: "There are no different sources and books for Star Wars than in other franchises." ??? Season 2 episode 6 of Din Grogu/Jarin in particular just felt cheap and rushed. The fact that they used the Stormtrooper as canon fooder alone is frustrating too me. The fact that they coldly implemented the stormtrooper meme that has unfortunately been stuck in people's heads since 1983 further worsens the overall impression. Without a threat or capable enemy henchmen, I find it hard to get excited about the Mandalorian(s) efforts. A hero needs a challenging threat that he can "only overcome through teamwork;" for example. In a character story, a protagonist needs an antagonist who is as impressive as possible. So why did it take about 5 episodes in season 3 for Bo-Katan to insist on her right for the dark saber? In the season finale (season 2) of Grogu's temporary farewell, this seemed to be a strong need for Bo-Katan. Even if she didn't address it directly. Nice to see the clones of Giancarlo Esposito and the darksword finally destroyed. Not excatly a solidly built by Tarre Vizsla. Well, the lightsaber was already several hundred years old. In my opinion, it should never have appeared in the canon. It was just a nice gimmick (and a color for the lightsaber) in a video game (The Force Unleashed) about Galen Marek and Juno Eclipse. It should have stayed that way and not been established as Caliburn of Mandalore in season 2 of The Clone Wars. Well, the only silver-lining I might see beyond the countless cancelled projects is Taika Waititi´s SW project. The Rey movie and the Dawn of the Jedi movie comes across as nightmares. Glad you like it.
