They just say that. I don't know why, they don't either. And you're right, they make consistently uninteresting slop. They managed to make Star Wars boring, and this is coming from a massive Star Wars fan lol Same thing with Marvel, I stopped watching any of it after Secret Invasion.

I know the saying, I just can’t help but rant when Star Wars is brought up. Disney as a whole has been so terrified of offending anyone that they can’t help but offer the safest, least interesting garbage they can. They made me dislike Paul Rudd. How’d they even do that? I miss when Finn looked like he’d be the main character.

And somehow they made Andor in the mix. I’m no big Star Wars fan, but both seasons were absurdly good. And political. And not so subtle.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. With the amount of Star Wars media Disney were/are pumping out they're bound to create something worthwhile eventually. It's like that thing with the monkeys and typewriters.

Eh, first season was great, second season was good. Just a whole lot of nonsense from that anti-war senator that pulled me out. Establish that she’s not the brightest bulb before you show her lack of shine. Had they done that, I’d have loved season 2, rather than liked it.

Yes. Though I can’t recall many of the particulars, only my exasperation

The show gave her a lot more depth than she had in the original trilogy. In the original trilogy, she was kind of just a random rebel leader, in the animated stuff, basically the same. I think they captured the essence of rich white liberals still fighting within the system in vain until they have no choice but to stop. It made sense to me at least.

I dunno, I might have given her the Skyler treatment. When I rewatch it in a few years, I’ll be able to assess that.
