Popular Post mstrox 6,680 Posted April 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2023 All of these shows are fun. I liked the weird punk kids on the swoops. I liked wacked-out-looking Luke doing a bad job at training. I liked Obi-Wan and a six-year-old racing around on an unlikely adventure. I don’t think any of them are as good as the best Star Wars movies or as Andor, but they’re much better than every Star Wars novel and most comics.

Have you even read at least 30% of the novels or comics in either the old or new canon? If not then that’s a rather meaningless claim All I know is that the writing quality in a good chunk of the old and new canon I’ve read far exceeds the shows, and I can point towards what those works are if necessary. Even Andor is just on par with some of the old canon stories I’m going to start coining this argument ‘the tyranny of fun’ because it seems to implicitly assume we all have the same standards for what is fun or enjoyable, whereas for me at least nonsensical storytelling and characters works extremely counter to any feelings of fun. Therefore, an appeal to fun often feels like an excuse to not put together an actual argument for why these elements are good Trope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovygoth666 736 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Well I've not watched anything Steven Knight has written, but a lot of people seem to enjoy Peaky Blinders at least, so who knows maybe this film could actually be good. I also wonder in a post Sith, New Republic, First Order galaxy what will be the main conflict in rebuilding the Jedi order? I don't think we'd get an Adam Driver cameo, but I'd bet Mark Hamill makes an appearance. I also would bet that Rey will have a 9/10 year old daughter, Ben Solos daughter, just so they can say the true Skywalker line didn't die in TROS.

Groovygoth666 736 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Sorry you're right, for some reason I thought it was set 10 years after TROS. So she'll be 14/15 year's old instead .

Ah yes, this makes sense -- she's made a successful Hollywood career making "male fantasy" movies, climbing the ladder that way for decades, all so she could suddenly pull the ole switcheroo and finally have her revenge on men! Can't believe I never saw this before.

I hope that’s not true, not even for political reasons, but the pragmatic fact that talent is already in such short supply that if you start filtering out half the population then you’re throwing away a bunch of potential talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterTech 996 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I really wouldn't know if talent is in short supply, given that studios have either mainly been hiring those who haven't been able to fully stretch their legs on a bigger production, or those that just follow the explicit instructions given to them. It's somewhat especially evident in the case of SW, given a production like Andor (done by veterans of the medium) is far more polished than Obi-Wan (which despite having those who've done work on previous entries, reeks of mistakes that would be made by the inexperienced normally). Granted, this probably makes it a bit easier for them to experiment on a smaller scale after TLJ proved so divisive. But it does also make it easier for it to look like they're just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
