Yes

As long as they keep shoving more stories somewhere in between some otherwise inconsequential aspect of the original trilogy it will just keep grinding to nothing. They’ll make an entire movie following the production of an intergalactic cheese pizza so you can understand why the lieutenant commander in the background shot of a scene in episode 4 farted. Tell some fucking new stories already.

I was quite looking forward to Star Wars: Skeleton Crew until I saw the first trailer. It looks like someone is trying to do The Goonies in space. The one image that really disheartened me is the shot of the suburbs, rows of houses and streets. Star Wars isn’t a place where I’d expect to see suburbs, it’s in a galaxy far, far away, a long time ago.

It’s very similar to when The Book of Boba Fett had their version of the 60s scooter scene. It doesn’t work and took me completely out of the episode.

Unpopular opinion: I think people are tired of disjointed big stories.

I mean, I know I am. Give me a story about a couple of people doing something that’s a good story, not a giant montage of short scenes about the fate of the galaxy.

I don’t CARE about the galaxy, I want a good personal story that has stakes that make sense on a personal level, and isn’t just some weird superhero story but happens to be wearing a Star Wars skin suit.

Also maybe don’t make a trilogy that’s the same damn story beats as the previous trilogy, but worse in every way you care to mention.

And, maybe, that’s not just me: Rogue One is such a movie and it’s been well received. Andor is a show at the same kind of scale, and hey, it’s also been accepted as good.

tldr: yes.

Not to say that Disney hasn’t mishandled this IP, but Star Wars had bad content before Disney bought it, and has since released projects better than anything Lucasfilm did with it.

The wide variances in quality aren’t doing the reputation of Star Wars any favors.
