#and it was lazy writing and a disservice to boba’s story

[catloverwhovian]

so many parts of this ep had Potential if only we’d spent more time with boba fett, getting to know the people on tatooine instead of a story that could’ve been told with a few cutaway scenes

STAR WARS IT IS THEN ! not sure if these are unpopular but

at this rate? i think ahsoka should have died facing off against vader. i don't care if filoni brought her back via time travel or whatever, her character has not only remained stagnant and useless in the media she's appeared in since the clone wars, but in having characters like her and like doing mcu cameos they're doing a disservice to the story as well. i love ahsoka but she didn't need to be in the mandalorian at all. why couldn't a survivor of the jedi purge instead of ahsoka? why couldn't they have been the "jedi" din was seeking, so that grogu could be returned to his people? why couldn't we see that even if that person was a jedi it didn't mean they belonged with grogu? they could have done just as much, if not more, if they'd simply introduced and built a new character with the necessary time and effort. i feel like it's an extremely lazy thing, to do "fan service" and insert characters like luke and ahsoka into the mandalorian when this show is supposed to be full of characters we've never seen before... a show isn't good just because a certain character appears or a certain event happens. it has to make sense. it has to be well executed.

not sure how people feel about filoni & co. but they don't need to direct any more episodes. they should definitely write less. like, obviously their input and direction has given the franchise a lot of media, i get that, but at this point? with the possibility (?) of the next season being the final season of the mandalorian, i don't want another cameo. i don't want some shitty cgi or makeup job just for fanservice. i want them to actually create and try. they can reference past characters and events without resorting to the laziest, shittiest moves in the book that does more harm to the show than good. at this point i'd say give bryce dallas howard the reins in directing and maybe have more writers come in that, like, don't depend on preexisting canon to prop up their show.

others have probably said this before but i really, really, really wish the creators would revisit old, classic media like kotor & kotor 2. i know that's pretty biased since i am a huge fan of those games but those are a perfect example of what you can do with star wars media that doesn't center around the skywalkers or related characters. kotor may seem rudimentary and dated by today's standards, but i think there are very few games, if any, that come close to the storytelling, worldbuilding, and exploration of the franchise that kotor did. was it perfect? no. but it created not one but two incredibly compelling narratives that included multiple characters, events, and places. it wasn't perfect, but there was imagination behind it. it was creative. it was made by people who at least managed to put together something that was both new and stayed true to "canon." know what can come of star wars (kotor) but seeing what they do with the material (the sequel trilogy, parts of the mandalorian and boba fett, etc) is just so incredibly frustrating because they can do SO much but accomplish so little.

star wars needs to stop doing live actions and return to 2D animation. i want more nonhuman characters, crazier environments, and more fun. they are COWARDS for not doing 2D animation. star wars is the perfect medium for it. why not use it!
