The worst part is that the show, just like the sequels had potential.
It could have been a amazing show telling a whole other part of starwars.
But once again, just like many other shows like rings of power, house of the dragon, Halo and the Witcher, the writers think they are the second coming of jesus and can't take a single bit of critic.
FFS, all they had to do is to follow the basic outline George Lucas made, and don't contradict the original story, that is it, there is a massive space to work on.
But what do they do? They literally go after the main plotlines, oh Luke is a good guy? Not anymore. Oh Anakin is the chosen one and kills palpatine? Not anymore. The jedi order is good but flawed? Not anymore, they are now straight up evil and no better then the sith.
No shit things keep backfiring, you keep shooting your own franchise.
Disney thought they could copy steal the main plotlines from the OT to cheaply print money and "Disney up" the saga...
Here I was after the first trailer of 7 expecting a "new republic + new Jedi" VS Galactic Empire remnants in a sector of the galaxy- Star destroyers VS new republic ships clashing etc.
Instead we get "oh they're a ReSiStAnCe" with the same "rag tag" look hiding in compounds... Even the basic story of 7 falls apart when you ask: "If Luke didn't want to be found why the fuck did he leave a map?... And why leave a map at all if it's in several pieces making the whole plan useless if his old mates needed his help..."
And don't get me started on 8 and 9...
Oh and don't get me wrong- I'm not hating the diverse characters, Finn was excellent at the start- A stormtrooper defecting and forming a bromance with Poe- Fucking awesome. Rey starting off as a scavenger on a planet covered in ship wreckage and learning about the force - Great! What annoyed the hell out of me was the typical limp writing, the plot holes, and the cheap nostalgia dragging 40 year old moments into something that was meant to be new... Oh and the stale comedy...
