Star Wars, like most multimedia franchises with long histories and multiple writers, varies in quality from project to project.

Some people on this board claim Star Wars is a religion, so does that make topics like this "hate speech"?

It's not really that people expect a super smart story or something. They just want it to carry the tone of the original trilogy or even the prequel trilogy. A lot of people have found new appreciation for the prequels not because they're great stories even but they still carry the Star Wars tone that George Lucas sets. Disney Star Wars is so far removed from the Star Wars feel and that is why people are so torn on it.

I would say there's dozens if not hundreds of extended universe content they could have pulled from. They could have polled the Star Wars community to see which stories were the strongest and adapted the must popular works. There's already so many great stories about terrifying sith lords. Stupendous Wave does some great videos on it.

But if we know anything about modern adaptations, writers hate using source material and only take "inspiration" from it.

The problem I have with Star Wars is that it take a long time for nothing to happen.

Look at just Episode 4 alone. Some army guys chase after two robots, then some other people come in and blow up a space thingy. That took 2 hours to do?

Andor is more intelligent than basically anything else in Star Wars and it gets overshadowed by the bounty hunter baby Yoda show and the silly Obi-Wan show with returning actors.

Fans get the content they deserve.

It is but so are most things sometimes. What matters is how interesting and fun it is. Something not taking itself so seriously and being dumb and being able to laugh with and at it means it's entertaining, and considering it's all entertainment, then it's done it's job.

There isn't much that doesn't get mutilated when it's adapted these days.

Anime is pretty consistent but even then sometimes there's some bunk adaptations.

OT was great (minus the teddy bears nonsense).
Then Ep 7 was ok-ish and relatively competent.
And finally Mando S1 was great, true SW.
All the rest is either bad, crap, a dumpster fire or a loud noise nightmare.
I have spoken.

Imagine hating on the ST so much that you start to think the PT is now good.
