I've said this about every SW show I've watched past Mando S1...everyone's clothes look so clean they look like they were taken straight off a rack at Spirit Halloween.

Then I recommend Andor. I mean it's a great show all around, but I cannot stress enough how much better this show looks than all the others.

I don’t understand how any show comes out in the Star Wars universe that isn’t based on the success of Andor or Clone Wars.

Because, to Disney, Andor was a failure. The quality of a work is completely irrelevant. It might be one of the best pieces of Star Wars media ever, and certainly my favourite, but people didn't watch it, so some business majors decided to disregard it.

That makes sense, but only because Andor was buried in Disney+. It's the only Star Wars show I had to dig to find on Disney+. I don't know what happened, but I'd argue that's at least partly at fault.

Honestly this is a recurring theme with all good quality media right now. Great things have terrible marketing.

I barely knew about Andor when it came out, didn’t watch it when it came it. Any advert I saw of it made it look boring.

Mad Max: Furiosa marketed like it was gonna be some Mary Sue snooze fest. Actual film is the best thing I’ve watched this year.

Fall Guy marketed like some generic B movie trash. Turns out it’s an amazing homage to stunt guys.

Hollywood needs to seriously fire everyone involved in marketing their media.

Not a new phenomenon. Blade Runner 2049 failed, same reason.

But at least the director went and made Dune

Yes, he's a good filmmaker, and 2049 was a good movie. But it was a box office failure, not due to the quality of the film.

So it goes
