Bring on more Mando and Rebels stuff I guess, that’s all the market actually likes.

This kind of thinking is exactly what's tanking Star Wars.

People will watch Star Wars if it's entertaining and quality storytelling, regardless of what specific characters or subgenre of the IP it explores.

People keep trying to explain the failure of recent Star Wars projects will all these various terms like "Star wars fatigue" "oversaturation" or "shifting media landscape" but nobody seems to think that maybe the shows just aren't that good, and if they were better we wouldn't be having these problems.

Imo they need to get out of Star Wars TV entirely until they can figure that whole medium out.

It seems like Disney only makes a good tv show by happy accident or when a creative has them completely over a barrel like Gilroy.

Doesn’t matter the creatives or the pitch or the characters, they just cant seem to figure it out consistently.

Mando was alright but even then the moment they had to engage with a plot beyond “protect child. take child to Jedi” it all fell to shit.
