More like no-one in Disney knows what to do with its future.

They know that Sequels are extremely unpopular (as a whole) and waiting for the situation to cool off, before they can continue, but without ST stench around. Which means no Rey, no Finn and, probably, any acknowledgement of the ST as a whole.

Which is why they stuck with OT timeline and prequels.

Personally I hope they just make it, so ST never had happened and belongs to the alternate timeline or something to that effect, which is unlikely, but who knows.

So is Andor worth watching? What I've seen of it was a bore, but I'm hearing from people whose opinions I respect that "no no, just keep watching, it gets amazing," yet I'm having trouble imagining how that could possibly be.

I've seen Andor in it's entirety. I couldn't wait for the series to be over. People that loved Andor saying this is what Star Wars should be, clearly don't understand what Star Wars is.

I loved it, it showed what was going on behind the scenes outside of the films. If you are a lover of pure action stuff, no it’s going to miss a few marks. It’s more like a crime drama with action bits dotted along the way. The Narkina 5 stuff has a pivotal connection to ANH and such a brilliant trilogy of episodes to boot. Also a couple of familiar faces there too…

I honestly found the series really boring. I did not understand the praise at all. Maybe if it was condensed to 3-4 eps I would have liked it more.

So the attempted rape scene in episode 3 has the internet up in arms. Star Wars fans are outraged.

[IMJ]

Well apparently there is an entire generation of outraged young people who have been raped and "biased" against so they need the "counseling" for it in their art to pull through.

Show some sensitivity you bastard - everyone a victim of the bed intruder up in here.

[Andrew NDB]

I don't know that we need to get raped in *Star Wars*, but I do hate the idea in principle that bad guys are not allowed to be bad guys and there need to be some limits on what bad things they can fictionally do.

And this is generally the same school of thought that makes it toxic to make fictional black characters commit crimes and so on.

Well... I understand where you are coming from, but people go blind until confronted with something from within their own lens to shake them back into reality.

For example - for the intellectual millenial yuppies who argue for this content in Star Wars I'd say, okay well you're focused on "Star Wars" for this deeply logical argument about "an evil Empire". And so I say by that logic then Rita Repulsa showed be shown beheading miscellaneous enemies for body parts, and cooking and eating the remainder in her tyranny because she's basically an Evil Voodoo Priestess and that's basically what she'd actually be doing.

And yet the intellectual clown parade would push back on that for their beloved franchise-for-the-simple-minded because "well that's not what that world is about". Star Wars isn't about Social Justice or the social-plights of women. It's about resisting tyranny through Galactic Conflicts with space wizards. But even that is unacceptable to these pieces of $#!( because depicting an Evil Voodoo Priestess eating people might be "istaphobic" somehow, but depicting a man raping a woman? Well that? That's the world outside your window apparently.

A world of rape victims who were never raped and a world of slaves who were never slaves.

Also the actress is hispanic and the Imperial officer came asking her about her Visa and said she was here illegally. Then he tried to rape her until she fought him off and killed him. This is in the Star Wars universe, mind you.

Ah. A parallel to modern America where South American immigrants are beaten and raped daily by the vile American-empirium all the time, by their logic.

I sincerely want to be there when the people with these sensibilities actually have to deal with a thing of some kind...

[Andrew NDB]

Oh, are we doing the Terminator: Woke Fart ICE revenge fantasy again? Ugh.

[CyberCubed]

All the citizens were gunned down by Stormtroopers as the riot broke out. Also the robot they captured in the end is the same one from the Rogue One movie.

Overall I do think this season is better than the first, but the lack of any real humor or adventure or even aliens makes it feel like anything else. If you didn't see Stormttrooper uniforms you'd forget you were watching Star Wars.

[Andrew NDB]

Are we expecting to see Donnie Yen show up in this at all?
