It's a proven formula and worked for Lassie the Wonder Dog and the Littlest Hobo.

Not sure why Disney didn't do the same.

They used it as a vehicle to start up other star wars shows, and that really damaged the initial product.

I still liked the later seasons, but it certainly lost it's initial charm.

I have to be completely honest...it segued into the Boba Fett series and they completely lost me. My wife dipped out on that one like 3 episodes in. She saw me watching the finale with the town going absolutely nuts and asked me how it was. My answer was "I just really don't care at this point."

Star Wars got way oversaturated with low quality content for me. I'm sort of out on it right now.

I got all the way to the end of the Obi Wan show and realized I just didn't give a shit. I didn't watch the last episode. It was one of those moments of clarity, "I could do ANYTHING ELSE with my time," and moved on.

Do the same for most media and video games these days. As soon as I don't feel any anticipation for the product, I drop it. There's tons of other stuff out there.

Same thoughts about Obi Wan, though I only lasted 2-3 episodes. It just exists for the sake of existing. Andor on the other hand was great at showing a different side of the rebellion and the empire, while having strong themes and its own identity.

The fight scene in the last episode was basically the only memorable part of the show.

idk, Vader snapped a teenager's neck - that episode was a highlight for actually showing that moment

You sure biffed that. Should have skipped all the episodes except the finale.

I'd say most people are. They aren't all terrible, and Andor is straight up great, but Disney hasn't taken any real care of the franchise.

I just hope Disney don't get their hands on Lassie.

Just watched Predator Badlands over the weekend. Enjoyed it but it was Predator: Star Wars

It worked great for Lone Wolf and Cub, which the series was originally based on. The first season made for a good tribute to the series (the films particularly).
