It is fan fiction, plain and simple. They very obviously improvised the story for each film with no overarching narrative. I think JJ had (derivative) ideas, but RJ shot the series in the leg
Thanks to Johnson’s work my interest fell off a cliff into a ravine of marzipan. Abram’s stuff always feels like it’s built from the top down. Nice on the surface but lacking in any real depth. I expect it will be be enjoyable, riveting even, but ultimately quite forgettable.
Forbes is calling ROS the worst Star Wars movie ever... I'll catch it somewhere down the line on Dis+ or something. No Way I'm supporting the current creators.
Mando has no over-arching theme, there's no White Walkers or Daeneris and her destiny, no mystery of John Snow... something happens one week, something happens the following week, each week is a nice little episode, but not feeling anything epic like I would have hoped for from Favreau and Star Wars
I'm willing to bet they are planting seeds right now for post - season 1. Point taken on GOT foreshadowing, but all that was for shit in the end. Huge fumble.
For Sure on how GoT ended, but the show was at its best when those overarching themes were in full play. Other than Baby Yoda, who doesn't really represent much in terms of story so far, aside from ep 2, I feel like Mando is one self contained episode at a time. Hopefully you're right about the seeds but with all of the SW universe to work with, I'd have thought they'd already have plenty to work with.
