      Even when taking your lumps
      There's no man in town as admired as you
      You're everyone's favorite guy
      Everyone's awed and inspired by you
      And it's not very hard to see why!

      No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Andor
      For there's no man in town half as manly!
      Perfect, a pure paragon!
      You can ask any Fett, Din or Obi
      And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on!
      No one's been like Andor
      A king pin like Andor
      No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Andor
      As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
      My, what a guy, that Andor!
      Give five "hurrahs!" Give twelve "hip-hips!"
      Andor is the best and the rest is all drips!
      No one fights like Andor
      Douses lights like Andor
      In a rebelling match, nobody bites like Andor!
      For there's no one as burly and brawny
      As you see, I've got biceps to spare
      Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny.
      That's right! And every last inch of me's covered with hair!
      No one hits like Andor
      Matches wits like Andor
      In a shooting match, nobody shoots like Andor
      I'm especially good at Stormtrooper killing! Ptoooie!
      Ten points for Andor!
      When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs
      Ev'ry morning to help me get large
      And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs
      So I'm roughly the size of a barge
      No one shoots like Andor
      Makes those beauts like Andor
      Then goes tromping around
      Wearing boots like Andor!
      I use blasters in all of my decorating!

      You really need to revaluate star wars. The dark side represents the modern obsession with power and technology. Vader the quintisential sith is a cyborg, he became this way over fear, fear of loosing the ones he loves. He craved power to save those he loved, which is what the darkside is about. It's unnatural and tears at your soul, and in Vader's case his very body. The light side is Buddhist wisdom, you don't kill off the love you have with others like the prequel Jedi have you just accept the temporary nature of things and don't smother things out of fear of loss. Anakin could not see this, neither did the wider galaxy as they traded their freedom, their souls for power and security under the boot of the empire. We were doing exactly that when the prequels were being written (Patriot act cough cough). Nothing brings this cowardice to light than the clone army, literally a private, industrialized military made in a tube to fight for the republic. An army of slaves, stronger than any conventional military, but unethical and built on mass misery. This army is what would eventually hold the rest of the galaxy under its heel

      @@phil3751 okay but like, you can get just as much symbolism and metaphor out of a single episode of Star Trek or Babylon 5, but with the added benefit of great writing, three dimensional characters, and great examples of long term storytelling to go with it. I used to be a huge star wars fan, until I watched more science fiction and got a deeper appreciation for the genre and what it was capable of. Star Wars just doesn't give me anything that I want or didn't know I wanted, it's just a mush of shallow callbacks and vague gestures at cool looking tech and aliens. Maybe Andor is different, I dunno I haven't watched it, but I just don't find it's themes, characters or worlds engaging anymore.

If something is truly meaningful it lasts the tests of time in the public consciousness. We still make memes about Revenge of the sith 20 years after it's release, and that's not because it's funny, the bad dialogue is funny but people make memes about batman, who really doesn't have much humor, but because it's left a lasting imprint on public consciousness . It's the Shakespearian tragedy of Othello in space, as a galactic civilization collapses around them. I haven't seen star trek try anything of that caliber

      @@Level_1_Frog The reason star wars is still kicking dying as it may be, while star trek and Babylon five are already buried is because those stories are just sci Fi. Sci Fi is just speculative culture. It's a cool intellectual discussion for friends at a cafe but it isn't about the human soul or anything really important (on a day to day living level, macro level it's pretty important). Most hard sci fi gets dated real quick and I rarely rewatch any of them. Star wars is about the heroes journey in space. An eternal piece of the human experience and that's why it outlasted hard sci fis like the foundation, I robot, etc (I read all of these). Just in the same way lord of the rings survived game of thrones. The one dimensional characters are the Superior breed.

      Well if you're bringing economics into the table it should be said that military hardware doesn't add anything to the overall economy once completed.
      So if the death star could bring economic collapse to the empire it would do so wetter was completed or not since the cost is all that matters since again there's no economic gain once finished.
      And while the death star was certainly a huge cost still the empire doesn't seem to have been broke once it got finished and they even made a second one even faster which indicates they certainly could pay for them even if they were crazy expensive.
      Kinda like the nuclear program.
      Was crazy expensive but even if it wasn't capable of creating a nuke once the war ended still he US wasn't going to go broke because of it.
      Just like actually finishing them didn't create any finantial recovery or gain.

    Rogue One is still the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy and no one can change my mind. Cool battles, stakes that make sense in universe, expanded a bit of the story and just a touch of fan service. It was at its core what Star Wars did best: take classic stories and tropes and put them in this space fantasy world. The OT was some classic heroes journey stuff. Rogue One was your classic military unit sent on a suicide mission for the greater good.

      Truth, but the sequels weren't bad for the reasons everyone says they were. They were bad because pointless mystery boxes and they failed to properly explain what Luke Skywalker did at the end of TLJ. And also, Rey should have been the daughter of some minor named character either from the shows or another movie. You can't set up a mystery and then be like "oh, doesn't matter".

      @@sophiejones3554 I mean, that was a big part of the complaints? Pointless set-up and random ass-pulls. That and such contrived incompetence among major character that it breaks all immersion. Characters can and should make mistakes, but there's a level of dumb that's not acceptable. I expect my vice admirals to understand that crew morale matters as does communicating your plans to your senior officers.
      My even bigger complaint is their whole "Jaws and Bigger Jaws" way of doing things. Death Star the size of a moon? New Order has one the size of a planet! (somehow in like two decades after the fall of the empire) Rebels were the underdogs? Well now we will make them down to three tiny ships and a single fighter wing and a few hundred people against the super-mega destroyer and a massive fleet (but then a massive random fleet of allies show up a movie later). The New Order had more people in one column in their propaganda rallies than the resistance had. Like come on guys...
      They though bigger is better and it just falls flat. No originality, just trying to play the old hits but thinking that turning up the volume to 10 makes it better.

    Edit: I loved it
    Tbh star wars has the same problem every large IP has wherein dozens of writers touched the driving wheel. I see it in every IP I am a interested in studying.
    One of the biggest things I find rather interesting is how the trilogies seem to define big eras in storytelling though it could just be the difference in real world time between the trilogies.
    Stuff after the OT wss very different in how it viewed star wars history (clone wars being clones vs the good guys for example), the force (lightsabers being force sabers, no midichlorians, etc).
    Then the pt came and star wars seems to have gotten a bit harder and less fantastical in it's wbing as well as a lucasfilm trying to edit, define and refine cannon.
    Then you get to the ST wherein things seem to be getting more fantastical and lucasfilm seems to have abandoned having a firm canon ane going more the route 40k took of "everything is a true tale" lol.
