Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

  • Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
  • Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
  • Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

I guess you just don’t really understand Star Wars as well as you think you do 🤷‍♂️

You really don't have to keep attacking me you know? We could just discuss the points instead.

it’s an aesthetic and a setting

So is Traveller TTRPG, or Babylon Five, Warhammer 40K, etc., etc.

But none of them are Star Wars.

if you define it as a narrative you can’t step outside the first three films

I'm not, you keep assuming I am, but I'm not.

I'm talking the unique points of the world building/lore. You can have different narratives in story telling for the same world (or in this case, galaxies).

buddy i literally just took what you said and changed a few words around. if it feels like attacking you then maybe do some self reflection?

where have i attacked you?

So is Traveller TTRPG, or Babylon Five, Warhammer 40K, etc., etc.

put literally anything from 40k next to literally anything from star wars and it becomes painfully obvious that they're two distinct properties

you're aware 40k essentially also has the force too, right? i'm not sure what point you're trying to make here

I’m talking the unique points of the world building/lore.

what unique points?

jedi are reskinned samurai, and the force is just a reskinned magic system combined with reskinned buddhism
