I grew up watching Star Wars a few years before the prequels came out.

I loved it! I was a big Star Wars fan. I honestly almost completely lost interest in it after I became an even bigger Trek fan.

I’ve been playing Lego Star Wars and it’s been fun, but it made me realize that the stories all seem surface deep to me.

I get the movies from the 70s were not going to deep dive in Luke’s training, but in each film it’s just like, “And… you’re a Jedi master now.”

There are other races and we do not get to really learn much about them. I guess the Mandalorian filled that out some, but I couldn’t get into that show.

I guess this is more of a rant about how Star Wars feels like and empty shell of a series than something with more substance.

I really wish, that there was something that went deeper.

I have not watched all the Disney+ shows yet, but I might start Ahsoka or Andor tonight. I watched Obi Wan and liked it, I tried Mando 2 times and did not like it one bit.

I loved the Shadows of the Empire book.

It sounds like you haven't even watched it 😂

I mean you’re right. I still say you can’t say it’s “the best Star Wars has ever been” because the OG trilogy was genre defining and ground breaking. Andor is “just” a really good show.
