I don’t understand how the creatives in the Star Wars universe think the solution for their inconsistency in quality is to always hold back the best storylines for later.
It’s like they go “well we have this in our back pocket, let’s just buy ourselves some time.”
But that doesn’t serve the story nor does it serve the audience.
Tell the damn best story you can, when you can.
It’s like the #1 lesson from Andor that they’ve failed to take away. Just serve the damn story.
Cut the fat. Cut the crap. Cut the wasted B plots and side character crap and just serve the story.
Audiences know when they are being manipulated. They know when the carrot is being dangled in front of them.
If the end game was always to bring in Thrawn, then why wait to “interconnect” two franchises?
Even the economics of it doesn’t work. If you lose 50% of your audience before serving the story, what’s the point.
