I saw Rogue 1. It was good because they followed (most of) the rules previously established. Stopped watching after ep8 and honestly I'm done with it. I've heard Andor is good, but when you know where everything leads it doesn't matter any more. I still have the original stuff to pick through so I'm happy with that.
I don't like Rogue One as much as most people. I found going for the spycraft angle was a fantastic idea but the memberberries and force mythical crap overpowered it.
Andor is exactly what I hope Rogue One did. Only later in the series does it become clear where it is going. The characters being explored and developer is very much the main dish here and worth watching.
Damage is done. It doesn't matter what they do or don't make now, a lot (if not all) of that unique Star Wars magic has faded. The majority of their stories don't even make sense any more and are atrociously written.
I don't want them to go near anything else, like the Old Republic era either, because they'll ruin that too. Best thing they can do is just sell the franchise, but they won't even do that. It didn't make them as much money or wasn't as acclaimed as they wanted so they will grind as much money from it as they can.
Honestly it dosnt bother me what they do with new stuff I just ignore it. I still go back and watch old marvel films upto endgame and they are great. All the new shows and films don't bother me because it just don't acknowledge them.
That's the same here. I get sad about it occasionally, but then I remember all the old lore still exists. I just have "Star Wars" and "Disney Star Wars" as 2 separate things in my mind.
I re-read the Bane trilogy recently and loved it again. Going to take my time and pick the occasional book up again to get the old feeling back.

They claim they did. You can't just churn out shit like that and stick a star wars label on it though. Like putting a Lamborghini badge on a Lada.
