I donāt know if this counts as a hot take or not, but does anyone else feel that āAndorā is the geekiest of the four live-action Star Wars shows? I know that sounds strange since Andor is the most serious of the four and features the least cameos/easter eggs, but hear me out.
Mando, Boba, and Obi-Wan weāre definitely going for more of the nostalgia factor with the cameos and easter eggs. But Andor, because the show is so serious, feels like an actual exploration of the Star Wars universe. They actually took the time to explain the stuff that we would just see in the background, such as the mapping system, how civilians live on Coruscant, and the various factions of the Rebel Alliance. Also, the series managed to blend in aspects of the Prequel and the Original Trilogies in a way that feels natural. The show doesnāt call out stuff from either trilogy (āHey look fans, itās Mon Mothma! Clap that sheās here!ā), they just treat the Star Wars universe as any other fictional universe.
I guess what I mean is that Mando, Boba, and Obi-Wan, at times, feel like they were written by an exec who wanted to cash in on peopleās nostalgia for Star Wars, whereas Andor feels like it was written by a genuine fan who spent years developing the lore for the universe.

the acolyte shares plenty of weaknesses with the rest of star wars (broad dialogue, some odd pacing, and as of late: that disney sheen) but it also has some of star warsā best fights in ages, a fresh roster of characters, and plenty of good choices + ideas, which makes it disheartening to see it so violently rejected by the same people who hooted and hollered for any kenobi flashback
#have been trying to sort out my mixed thoughts on the new ep here#itās not for everyone but itās the first time since andor iāve felt genuinely excited by a new star war#none of acolytes choices are killing sw or devaluing it. so far iād say the acolyte is a bold step in the right direction#(that unfortunately may never b fulfilled because of filoni taking on such a prominent role)#the acolyte#star wars

I feel as though casual misogyny in not having many favorite female characters over male characters and the fact that many female characters aren't written well and made to service male character development in most mainstream media are two ideas that can coexist
#thoughts that keep me up at night#would be nice to see more women written as their own people above all else#instead of simply the motive for a male character#mon mothma in the andor series was amazing. love the admin in tf2 also#glados? a queen really#but then you see characters like princess peach that were literally designed as the damsel in distress in her beginnings#idk. would be nice to see more nuanced women in general

so i am a jar jar binks apologist. like, let's get the obvious complaint out of the way. we all agree that the accent was a regrettable and distracting mistake that is hard for many to overlook for valid reasons. but if you are willing to set that issue aside and think about the character's function in a broader context of the trilogy, i think you'll agree that he is very necessary to communicate the tone that lucas wants, especially in the phantom menace.
the phantom menace is the first in the prequel trilogy, and by necessity for the overall three part story structure, it is childish, bright and whimsical, sweet and hopeful with an underlying malice that will only grow. anakin is still just a boy, a kind and generous and playful boy, who lives in a galaxy that is not yet twisted by war. the movie communicates this in a variety of ways, through the color story of the film, through the music, through jokes, through jar jar.
remove jar jar and you have a different film entirely, you know? he is an essential part of the mixture. he lightens every scene he's in, a necessary clown, with slapstick and low humor, to adulterate the high drama of the political world. his role gets smaller and smaller over the course of the trilogy, as the world dives into suffering and strife. he's forced into a respectable position, forced to play along with the adults, unfit for his position but doing his best, but his innocent clownery in phantom menace is essential first.
like do i wish ahmed best was able to use a different accent that would have drawn less ire? of course. do i wish jar jar gone? absolutely not. i like the genre of star wars, it's a silly and sublime space opera, high drama mixed with little jokes, watchable and fun, and the entire dramatic arc of the prequels depends on the gold and green of the phantom menace ending up in red and black on mustafar. without the warmth and humor of jar jar, the later tragedy wouldn't hit so hard.
#jar jar binks#he's so loathed by the adults who wanted to watch andor#the prequels aren't andor#they had to wait for someone else to make andor#that's not lucas's game#sw#just thinking thoughts

Iām gonna be honest. The more I think about it, the more Iām believing that the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy couldāve been better than the Original Trilogy if the script was tighter (a lot tighter). But George needed to let other people handle the script and he needed way more help with bringing his vision to life.
I mean, just think about it. The OG trilogy was a fairly straightforward, good vs evil storyline. Jedi and Rebels good, Emperor and Sith bad. Amazing storyline, but fairly simple. In comparison, the Prequel trilogy is far more complex in terms of what it was trying to achieve. If you look past the shitty dialogue and questionable storyline choices, the story that George came up with deals with:
1) Duty vs. Desire (Anakin trying to remain a Jedi but wanting to pursue Padme)
2) Questioning the Jedi Code instead of just blindly accepting it as gospel. Because despite how much Anakin was struggling with his complicated emotions, the Order doesnāt notice. In fact, the Order encouraged him to bury his emotions, which we see led to disaster since that led him right to the Dark Side.
3) An actual attempt at more complex politics rather than just evil empire versus good resistance. For example, itās a meme that Anakin made an argument in favor of fascism, but in the hands of a better writer, that couldāve been a really good moment. We get an idea of why the Empire would have its supporters, despite being the obvious bad guys. It humanizes the Empire in a way that it doesnāt make you sympathize with them, but makes you understand how someone could end up on that path. Thatās more true to life than just evil people being evil. (Andor is probably the one Star Wars media that understood this, which is partly why itās one of the best Star Wars content out there)
4) The hero is genuinely a tragic character. Heās a child prodigy who was freed from slavery with the promise of a better life. But as he grows up, he becomes frustrated with how his life is turning out. Heās powerful, but not powerful enough to save his mom. He falls in love, but canāt be with Padme since itās against the Jedi Code. Obi-Wan looks over him, but Anakin doesnāt feel heās respected. The Order assigns him dangerous mission after dangerous mission, but he doesnāt get the rank of master. Anakinās arc is about a man who feels like heās not in control of his life (which is doubly sad when you remember he grew up in slavery) and, in his lowest moment, turns to a man who claims to be able to give Anakin everything heās ever wanted. And that becomes his downfall since he ends up losing way more than he gained.
Iām sorry, but, that storyline is way more interesting than Luke and Leiaās story. No offense to Luke and Leia, but their dadās story sounds like a Shakespearean tragedy. What messed it up was that George Lucas needed someone else to write the script.
