In response to In response to 5


  

          

There are four films that I genuinely enjoy:

1. The Last Jedi.

-Far and away the best SW film. It's not close IMO.

2. The Force Awakens.

Good, if flawed, start to the new trilogy.

3. Return Of The Sith

-The only good prequel, IMO, but the high points of this are excellent, regardless of the low bar set by the prior episodes.

4. Rogue One. No real commentary here. I just enjoyed it.

The rest is a mess of good ideas and terrible execution. The OG trilogy is pretty bad, surviving on the strength of the overall mythology, and the gravitas of Darth Vader, to my tastes.

I mostly enjoyed the 5 or so episodes of Mandalorian I watched last season, but once I fell off, I never had a desire to get back.

So I couldn't care less about these ten seasons.

Thing is, the brand is a big deal. SW fans are deep, and from what I gathered doing my wiki's on the overall mythology, there's a ton of great material to mine. I dig a lot of the shit that I've wiki'd, but half of this shit is a chore to get through.

I haven't gotten into the books. I started Plaguius joint from Audible, but just didn't care. But from what I've seen of the overall story, there's 20 series worth of material in there. Ten is nothing.

*we* may not "need" ten series, but that doesn't mean the actual market isn't there- particularly from a streaming service.
