Didn't see the original trilogy until like 2010 and I saw it one time. I could understand why people would have liked it in it's time, but I wasn't a fan. Didn't see the prequel trilogy a part from maybe 30-45 minutes between the 3 when I was flipping channels and it was on television. And I went to see The Force Awakens with a friend who was taking his godson to see it. Meh.

I've always been intrigued by the lore and mythology though and I'm always attracted to stories about rebelling against an empire, but I've always found the writing in Star Wars to be pretty bad. It shows itself to be big and complex, but more often than not, it feels written for children.

Then last year, another friend wouldn't stop going on and on about Andor. So I watched that. It was okay. I enjoyed parts of it, but goddamn, the pacing in the middle was terrible.

As I was discussing Andor with some folks, they started talking about The Mandolorian. So I watched that. And then Boba Fett. I was damn near hate watching them by the end. There's some cool things, but so much fucking nonsense. I could go on and on about the things I don't like about those shows and Star Wars in general.

And I say all that to say, these first 4 episodes of Ahsoka, are my favorite piece of Star Wars media I've seen. And if it keeps this up for the whole season, to me (in my admittedly very limited scope), it will be the very best of Star Wars.
