DUNE 2 is the realization of everything I've ever dreamed genre filmmaking can accomplish. Not since I was 10 years old and witnessed STAR WARS during its opening weekend have a felt this way about a motion picture. Proof positive that filmmakers can still conjure up magic.

While I'll watch LOKI, I'm now completely disinterested in MARVEL, STAR TREK and STAR WARS. Five years ago, if you'd ever told me I'd feel that way, I'd have said you were insane. But here we are. Three franchises die...all for the same reasons...writing.

The OBI-WAN KENOBI series is a massive disappointment. What could've been a tremendous character study is just a lackluster retread of tropes we've all seen countless times before. Do they really need a tracker to tell them Kenobi will take Leia back to Alderaan? Seriously? C'mon

I love STAR WARS. I saw it opening weekend. It changed my life. BACK IN 1977. Today's STAR WARS is a corporate product produced by a company who, by definition, makes a PRODUCT designed to appeal to EVERYONE. That is antithetical to great storytelling. STAR WARS is compromised.

This is nonsense. STAR WARS literally begins with the Opening Crawl's line, "It is a period of CIVIL WAR." Describing Rebels, the Empire's Sinister Agents, and Princess Leia. No mention of Jedi, The Force, or anything at all about the Sith. ANDOR is ALL ABOUT that Civil War.
@OKane_98
Andor is not Star Wars. It's a world building show. It doesn't compete with actual Star Wars, Jedi, Sith, the force, etc. It's just a good sci-fi show, nothing more.

Hearing someone say, "It wasn't made for you" may be the most inane phrase in fandom. They've completely diminished and dismissed your own fandom, opinion and whatever else you have to share, and at the same time trying to tell you they understand something when you do not.
I'm tired of hearing about Star Trek "Well, it wasn't made for you".
I've been a fan for FIFTY YEARS. If not me, then who? If not now, WHY? You don't get to decide one morning that I'm not allowed to like it anymore. All the complaints about "gatekeeping", that's GATEKEEPING!
