    Disney's model is to take already-created characters so they can spend less time on character development and more time on whatever story they are trying to tell.  The problem with that model is (1) the character development part is often just as good if not better than the new part of the story and (2) it restricts the potential universe of stories to characters that the audience is already aware of (Boba Fett, Ashoka, Obi Wan, etc.) or characters one step removed or directly related to characters the audience is already aware of.  Disney paid so much for the IP that they are terrified to take the risk inherent in starting with a blank sheet of paper.  This is why the JJ Abrams/Kathleen Kennedy films were so bad, they started with new and interesting heroes and villains, but everything ultimately revolved around Luke/Leia/Han/Chewie/Palpatine and made a hash of it. 

     

    This seems like a disingenuous argument when you complained about the Acolyte series earlier. Or did I read that wrong?

     

    As an aside. As a Star Wars neerd, I don't get the hate towards Boba/Mando series. Or Ah Soka which was fabulous to see the characters in live action. Many of which the casual star wars fans had no grasp of. 

     

    Obi Wan was boring and sadly was a big miss for me.

     

    Andor was fantastic. 

     

    Waiting to watch Acolyte this weekend, I hope..but it being so far removed from the movies it will be nice to see something different.

    As odd as it is, I am leaning for Boston. As a Wiz fan, can't help but feel like Porzingus and Gafford are reppin.  But, I am not leaning that hard and a   Come a long way from the Darko Milicic era.
