After reading the spoilers for the past episode, it's as if the writers of the S.W. tv programs always need a gotcha character. Get original.

I'm not sure if this show has any silly social justice messaging, but I haven't tuned in because the reviews have been pretty weak.

I want to like new Star Wars content, but there's more meh than interesting stuff. I always liked Episodes 4, 5, and 6. I was 13 when Episode 1 came out and enjoyed the prequels. I read a bunch of the old (now called Legends) SW novels when I was young. Loved Rogue One, so I had high hopes for new content. But I was wrong.

Solo was fine. Episode 7, 8 and 9 were all weak. Mandalorian seems like just fan service stuff at this point. I watched Obi-Wan but it just ok. Andor was GREAT and I'm waiting for the next season, but I know that's going to end. This show sounds like I'm not missing much.

Andor got really good the last few episodes… the earlier episodes were kinda meh.

Honestly, the last two episodes were good. I'm getting good at ignoring any kind of SJW shit

Most of these star wars disney spin offs are not lighting my candle. The book of Boba was just terrible. Kenobi, was too far fetched that left a lot of gaping plot holes that honestly just didnt make sense or flow with the star wars story. Its like they were forcing a story. Mandalorian was ok but could have been way better.
Andor was so boring I couldnt make it through any of the episodes. It felt like groundhog day.

The only star wars movie that felt good and stayed with a simple script was rogue one.

Ahsoka's character was never relevant enough to expand on...no one cared. Even in revenge of the sith, her death scene was cut from the release because no one knew who the hell she was. Why make a series based off a character no one gives a crap about.
You’re too critical. The bad Jedi dude is great. His Twinkie apprentice, not so much. The main character has potential, but she’s black so the Jedi hAve lowered their standards a bit much. She should’ve stayed in the Jedi whore house or kitchen - take your pick….

I actually really like the last one, just slightly annoyed that it took 6 episodes to see Thrawn.
Agree, also annoyed at the gut hes got now. Not really an intimidating presence at all. Guess the Witches been feeding his ass well on Dathomir.

The more I watch, the more I really dislike it.

It just doesnt make sense and honestly doesnt feel like star wars to me. 2 Dark Jedi working for a witch with no real ties to the empire that I can connect. Lightsaber duels where no one dies. Did you know you can get impaled by a light sabre and not die? Just ask Qui Gon. Its like no one dies anymore.

Its nearly an all female cast with green, purple and pink hair. We all know Ahsoka dies in the not too much distant future. The timeline doesn't make any sense. Ahsoka, originally was killed in episode 3 Revenge of the sith by General Grevious. That scene was cut, but it is still part of the story. There are scenes with Aniken, before he was chopped and burnt and yet this is supposed to be taking place between episode 3 and Rogue One when Aniken had turned into vader. Makes no sense.

Dont get me started on the young blonde dark jedi chick doing Vaders signature force choke.

I turned it off when Ahsoka force talked to some large flying sperm whales in the clouds and flew into its mouth...then the giant sperm jumped into light speed to go to another galaxy. Jesus Christ.

Disney. Just stop. it hurts. Please stop.

This show takes place after Return of the Jedi. Anakin was a Force ghost when she saw him as creepily-deaged Hayden Christensen.

I haven't watched it but am reading the spoilers. I understand most of this stuff is from Star Wars Legends books, but the space whales are...interesting. Can't build a ship to get between galaxies? BOOM: space whales. Also, Palpatine is dead (or supposed to be. Spoiler alert: Palpatine returns...somehow) so we need a big bad with more powers than everyone. BOOM: space witches.

So....did Ahsoka come back to life after being impaled by Grevous 30 some odd years earlier? Ahsoka has 2 storyline going on and it doesn't blend well.
