I grew up watching Star Wars a few years before the prequels came out.

I loved it! I was a big Star Wars fan. I honestly almost completely lost interest in it after I became an even bigger Trek fan.

I’ve been playing Lego Star Wars and it’s been fun, but it made me realize that the stories all seem surface deep to me.

I get the movies from the 70s were not going to deep dive in Luke’s training, but in each film it’s just like, “And… you’re a Jedi master now.”

There are other races and we do not get to really learn much about them. I guess the Mandalorian filled that out some, but I couldn’t get into that show.

I guess this is more of a rant about how Star Wars feels like and empty shell of a series than something with more substance.

I really wish, that there was something that went deeper.

I have not watched all the Disney+ shows yet, but I might start Ahsoka or Andor tonight. I watched Obi Wan and liked it, I tried Mando 2 times and did not like it one bit.

I loved the Shadows of the Empire book.

    Glad you like it!

    If you haven’t previously seen Rogue One, it’s also great. Watch it after Andor, as the story basically just continues directly. I love the originals, but Rogue One might be my favorite Star Wars movie. I’m much more captured by the idea of the rebellion as regular people striving for freedom than the light sabers and magic.

      Yeah, I’ve seen rogue one and it’s been my favorite Star Wars movie since I saw it in the theaters. I would love it if Star Wars focused more on this world building.
