"Only more plain-Jane chix uggo'd up as much as possible, way gayer and as lame as humanly possible (cuz the overwhelming vast majority demographic of adult straight male fans will surely like and support that!)" Genius...
Kathleen is going to take all of the credit for the mandalorian movie then ride off into the sunset with her middle finger towards the haters. A perfect ending
@@AziaXtremeNFinity only if Kathleen Kennedy had nothing to do with it and Sam Whitwer gets to make all final decisions lol I don’t Disney to ruin Starkiller. But yeah a starkiller show would be sick lol
@Zovereign no he did not. He speaks about it often. You obviously have never listened. Just because he doesn't violently trash them means he liked them😂 he says he didn't like them all the time. Believe it or not, class and respect still exists for some folk
From the moment I heard Sam Witwer explain his pushback against the director over his Starkiller meditation scene, I truly believed he should be running Star Wars.
She was absolutely amazing as Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica. To those of you who haven't seen Battlestar Galactica, I HIGHLY recommend watching it. Really good sci-fi
@@navirbox4913 Yes but they had nothing for her to really work with story wise. It was just a bunch of talking and no showing. The entire season was the cast just sitting in chairs pretty much.
@@griswoldclark6835 Literally background tv for when ppl are doing laundry or banging smh (they want to make an all MCU/SW channel hoping that parents will just run it 24/7 for their kids smh). This is what these great IPs have become.
Met both Katee and Sam. They were actually the first 2 Star Wars actors I ever met, they're both very cool and kind (and know Star Wars). Got pictures and autographs with both. They would definitely make better Star Wars than a lot of the people they got making stuff at Disney.
I’ll never be able to stomach Bo Katan as a character tbh, and Kathleen Kennedy of course trying to make her a hero when she was a terrorist responsible for the fall of Mandalore and the deaths of her sister and countless of civilians is still outrageous. Disney going with that while nerfing Boba and Din just shows how far this franchise has fallen. Nothing against the actors. Just can’t stand how they’re writing the characters. I’m a huge fan of Temuera, and what they’ve done to Boba is unforgivable.
@@JangoNeedsSomeHead-o7zI mean, maybe this is just me, but I don’t think you can nerf Boba much more than he was in ROTJ. He got taken out by a blind man, by accident, and flailed his arms and screamed like a baby while doing so. You can’t really come back from that
@@JangoNeedsSomeHead-o7z I get what you're saying about Bo Katan but let's not forget that Darth Vader was basically deemed "Space little mustache man" and he was given the opportunity to redeem himself in Ep. VI Han was a a smuggler before he had a change of heart Lando sold the crew out before he changed his ways and aided the escape on Jabba's skiff Even Kylo had a change of heart and became a secondary hero in Ep. IX Star Wars is and has always been about redemption so I don't mind the direction her arc took in Mando
Some people didn't like it and that's fine, but I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, It got grouped in with all these other disasters, and probably will never see the light of day again.
I am one of those who enjoyed Andor a lot. It gives a world building and a compelling environment to why the Empire affected people more on a commen level. It’s not adventurous like the originals but more serious and bleak. I think this work as its own thing.
@@lucaschitwood4305 Exactly. So many people can't seem to separate good quality from having a SW feel. It's not even the fantasy elements, you don't really need the force, there's a lot going on that removes Andor a bit far from SW. It's still good though. People just don't get that and will jump down your throat for saying it.
When the very first Star Wars was about rising up against an evil Empire, and Andor being about the origin story of a rebel, freedom fighter, I just can't imagine something more true to Star Wars. But hey, I guess every story needs Jedi and lightsabers and force users for it to be "feel like Star Wars".
It’s unfortunate that because of their contracts and because they want to stay on Disney’s good side they can’t really speak their mind entirely, they’re so scared of the backlash
@@Figs4Fun bro, don’t do that. They do the best they can for what they can control. If you want more done do your best to get into Star Wars in that level.
Hard disagree with you on Andor. It’s a show that doesn’t need to use the star wars brand as crutches. I think it’s one of the better additions to the franchise that’s from Disney. It highlights the true cost of organizing a rebellion. It shows how this fight made idealists do things so unthinkable and out of character to them. The call that betrays their values, sacrifices themselves, or even burn everyone they care about. Then we see why they do it.
I think Andor more than anything, maybe also the animated shows, just tells you all they need to be is good and look like Star Wars. Those are the only two requirements. They can be anything at all as long as they're good.
I thought Andor was quite well made but it wasnt my cup of tea as far as star wars goes. I am just kinda tired of the underdog rebels take on the big empire story. I need some jedi and sith and the force for it to be star wars to me and we havent gotten quality in that area forbwuite some time
I understand people not liking Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, Acolyte and Mando S3, but I'm sorry anyone who says Andor is mid should definitely go and see more movies and TV shows that are actually good. Cause it's hands down THE best single piece of Star Wars media Disney and Lucasfilm have ever put out. Anything else they have done might be cool at best, but it's mostly blind fan service. And is that really what Star Wars fans deserve? Is that really the best storytelling they can give us? That's why Andor is so special and I can't wait for S2.
Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace, I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.
Sam witwer and katee sackoff sound so humble and honest. I like how well they get along and how they truly understand what goes on in and out of the star wars universe.
What r you talking about? Andor was way better than all the crap they've producing in these recent years, the acting and plot are better than the sequel trilogy. It's simply most underrated SW tv show ever.
I gotta say too, I love the episodes directed by Bryce Dallas Howard. She seems to have a good grasp of the simplicity of star wars and her episodes were more memorable for me as well.
Ah yes, she of the lowest rated episodes in the entire Mandalorian series fame, directing such gems as the unintentionally comical Lizzo + Jack Black team up. Her continuing to fail upwards totally has nothing to do with her dad...
@sixcrowsilver let me specify then, season 1-2. I agree that season three was a shit show and majority of the episodes didn't serve the plot at all and it felt like there were too many cooks in the kitchen. So we agree on that 🤝 didn't have to come at me like that lol. Specifically her episode from season 1 with the village and Cara Dune helping Mando take out the walker. Her episode in season 2 wasn't that bad either in my opinion.
@@darthmalek98 Fair enough, wasn't meant to go at you but you're right that's how it came off so that's my bad, genuinely. It was meant to criticize her, as I personally believe she's only still getting directing jobs because of her dad, which we can agree to disagree on. That Lizzo episode left a bad taste in my mouth lol but I do agree the scenes with Cara Dune were good.
Came to say the same thing. “We” loved seasons 1 and 2 of Mando. A lot of “us” loved Andor. Kenobi was hit or miss with the fan base. As was Ahsoka. But those were exponentially better than the rubbish they gave us in Boba, Mando 3 and Acolyte. We just want good Star Wars
@@AndrewDembouskiMando 3 was just sad. I feel like Jon has really lost the plot, and Dave has made me doubt any respect I ever had for him with Ahsoka. Rebels was an amazing show, but I firmly believe it was Simon Kinberg, and not Filoni, who made it so good
Seeing Sam Witwer bringing Starkiller/Galen Marek would be so damn epic. Not very literate on EU lore though... but I see it would be complicated... if they kept this as non-canon, they'd start splitting the shows into EU and canon as well, which has a number of complications. If they brought him onboard as canon out of nowhere... they'd have to nerf him greatly to fit LMAO. That would betray his lore.
Katie and Sam are thankfully still great people who see the views of not just the company but the many views of the fanbase…they don’t bash us at all…they listen and try to understand
I love the Original Trilogy. I really like the Prequels. I loathe the Sequels. The only two things George really did wrong were: 1) Adding too much spectacle to the Special Editions of the OT that harmed the story itself, or character identities. And, 2) Installing Darth Kennedy as head of Lucasfilm when he sold to Disney. I don't think anyone expected Disney to do what they've done to everything in their umbrella since acquiring Lucasfilm.
I feel Andor was the closest Disney got to George Lucas's vision. I think we need Sam Witwer to return to the universe as either Starkiller or maybe Kyle Katarn. Like, play Force Unleashed or Days Gone and you KNOW he has the acting chops for it!
Nope, Rogue One was the most Lucas Star Wars product Disney has given us....hands down. Andor was the least Star Wars feeling product they have given us....even Acolyte felt more like a Star Wars product than Andor....and no, I am not an Andor hater, I've watched it three times now and am very much looking forward to S2.
Andor was authentic to George Lucas’s Star Wars but was not his Star Wars. It is a spy thriller set in the Star wars universe and it’s amazing. None of the other Star Wars stories is like Andor imo nor was it supposed to be. The thing about Andor is that it is so authentic to the world George Lucas created that you can definitely get that feel of “omg this is Star Wars!”
I'm with you on everything. Though I think Andor was actually pretty good. And I really enjoyed Rogue One. Would love to see Andor & Rogue One style put together to do a Darth Bane series
Bane series would need to be rated R and they would also need to modify the orbalisk sub plot cause those things seem pretty disgusting and not really something that would translate well into live action 🤔
This times a million. We'll be happy the moment Star Wars is more focused on telling an engaging story than it is on using it as a vehicle to spread left-wing politics.
Lucas' Star Wars is firmly anti-authoritarian. It's not the political agenda that's the problem, it's the incapability of the writers to handle the topic well, show and not tell, and to wrap it all up in compelling stories and characters we connect with.
@bluemoondm8629 I believe that's what the OP was attempting to say. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with political themes in movies. The problems occur when the movie fails to naturally tie the political themes into the films narrative, and it becomes so heavy-handed that you feel like you are being preached to instead of entertained. Horrible advertisement also doesn't help. I don't care if a movie is gonna "own the chuds". I don't care if the movie's cast is incredibly diverse. I dont care if the movie features an LGBTQ character. NONE of those are selling points to me to get me interested in the film. So if those are a film's main selling point, I'm not gonna be interested. The only things I care about is a good plot and interesting characters. Those are the only two things that matter. If those things aren't center stage, your movie is a dud.
What’s hilarious and ironic is that the Prequels were a jab to George Bush, and Mark Hamill is out there like a doofus trying to get Bush to endorse Kamala Harris.😅
As a show runner, you can’t start a project with hate for the previous content. Hate begets hate. Start with love and your product will show that love.
I don’t think any show runners hated Star Wars. All of them are big fans, but you don’t have to understand something to like it. JJ Abrams is living proof of that
@@inefekt it's all about Rebels vs Empire. Doesn't seem to make sense for it to have Jedi as they are extinct (also Season 2 may or may not reveal something regarding this, so we will see). The Emperor is mentioned. I think in terms of tone/approach/genre it's very different from every other live action Star Wars project, but it does rather remind me of the old EU overall.
A friend on twitter told me this "Like I've said from the beginning: Your taste in entertainment is not dictated by your politics. Even if you *were* a leftist who likes Disney, that doesn't mean: "Oh, you like Disney, therefore..." You're free to like whatever it is you like, as regards entertainment!"
@amirrashidan3047 "Oh, you dislike the SW sequel trilogy? You must be right wing." "Oh, you like the animated Star Wars shows on D+? You must be left wing" "Oh, you enjoyed that Zootopia movie? You must be... Lefttard: a cop supporter. Righttard: a woke furry." Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
To a degree this is correct...but if something fundamentally goes against your base beliefs and ideals in a ham-fisted propagandist way your politics will most definitely come into it. When ppl make a traditionally pro-egalitarian pro-individualism IP or characters like from SW or Marvel into authoritarian collectivist propagandist drivel like The Acolyte or She-Hulk or Agatha All Along ppl will 100% boycott that garbage (as we've seen). Nobody in their right mind wants to watch bad writers fail at justifying evil things and bad people while expecting you to clap and cheer like it's some meaningful accomplishment. The Joker films are a great example of this. Ppl liked the first one cuz it did the work to make him a tragic villain and set up to do the character the justice it actually deserved so he could become the Clown Prince of Crime we know and...find so compelling (
@@amirrashidan3047 Thats true but everyone liked the original trilogy. Even the critics back then. Because that trilogy was made in a time where people didn't give a shit about political agendas in the first place. People were BASED back then. Entertainment used to be escapism but now its not anymore. Entertainment is being taking over by political extremists that want division in different communities and only make content that benefits them.
@@TheBabyCaleb acolyte was definitely shit but doesn't change the fact Andor pacing was that of a snail. It wasn't boring because it didn't have lightsabers and blasters every five minutes it was a slow burn show that drags until episode 3 before actually picking up and ends with a good payoff but getting there is like watching paint dry but at the end it is a good painting
The problem with Bo Katan is that Pedro Pascal doesn't want to do the Mandalorian anymore because he knows he can be better in other products, so for S3, they tried to transition his story to become Bo's story while also adding several loopholes for letting Bo continue taking off her helmet so we can see the actress' face (ah Mando is our leader because he is literally holding the Darksaber but he took off his helmet in a life or death situation therefore he is not our leader anymore. But you saw our equivalent of a unicorn so not only are you our leader but you may also take off your helmet too)
@@shotszvgaming6974 I would argue differently. After nearly two decades of taking small roles on stage and television, Pascal had his breakout role as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones (2014). He gained further prominence with his portrayal of Javier Peña in the Netflix crime series Narcos (2015-2017). He went on to appear in the films The Great Wall (2016), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), The Equalizer 2 (2018), and Triple Frontier (2019). and Joel Miller in the HBO post-apocalyptic drama series The Last of Us (2023-present) propelled him to international stardom.
@@halomultiplayermomentsCopy pasting from IMDB doesnt change the fact that he became a safe staple actor for studios. He's never been that type of actor whose performance heavily elevates a production. Yet he's everywhere now. He's not BAD. He's not ugly, he's not handsome. He's just part of the club. You can find local theatre actors with more emotional range than him.
@@halomultiplayermoments Game Of Thrones is ok if u are into dragons and goblins and shit, I never watched it so I didn’t know that, I believe he certainly didn’t reach fame through Kingsman though, I only recognised him in that after I’d seen him in Mando.
5:48 I don't think you understood what she just said. She said "They'll hate me" she did not said "They hate me". There's a difference there. She's saying "They(the fans) will hate her" she's not technically saying people hate Bo Katan now.
Can't believe Theory didn't appreciate Andor. I was the first one that didn't think it would be interesting at all but it turned out to be some of the best Star Wars story!
I don’t expect actors to always be super interested in the fandoms of things they worked on. When they do however, it’s always super cool and just makes you love those people even more for it because you know they care! This was a really great listen! Thanks for posting this!
I do agree with you about most points, but I do think there is room for more variety than the grand space opera style of the original movies. I think you are right in that those stories need to remain the center of the universe, but the world of Star Wars is incredible. I know you didn't like Andor, and I see where you're coming from, but I think Andor is a great example of variety done right. They fit the story in a place and time where the story they wanted to tell made sense, and just set out to tell a compelling, character driven narrative. Where various other shows go wrong, at least in part, is they fit the world to the story without regard to canon, logic, or character. Instead of letting the world define their story, they let their story define their world (like Book of Boba Fett). I'm not saying Andor is the future of Star Wars, but it absolutely demonstrated that a wide variety of stories can be told within this universe without breaking the world around it.
only path forward, i can see, is to throw the sequels into legends, and redo ep 7-9 with a recasted luke, leia and han. They'll never have more than 15 mins screen time in the future due to how expensive deepfaking is.
I'm 54, saw the OT in cinemas and was happy over and over again, I was happy with the prequels too. I wish it was done then. I miss the original EU too. As for Disney? It's not interesting enough to watch again, None of it.
I liked s3 of mando in general and I know I’m probably one of the few pp who liked it. The reason I liked s3 was because of the look it gave in SW world at that time but I agree it was not really a Mando show at that point.
Star Wars canon was something that I wasn’t aware of outside of the movies when I was younger. I met my best friend who was a Star Wars fan who educated in the expanded lore and universe, what was canon BEFORE it was called “Legends”, blew my mind. There was a lot of cool stuff, but I could honestly say that Kyle Katarn and how much he influenced the continued story after episode 6. I think what Star Wars lost was the ability to tell a story that could have characters that didn’t need to be good for the sake of being seen, either for relatable or identifiable for an audience member rather than the audience as a whole. Katarn had a wide and colorful character arc throughout his adventures as well as many vital involvements for the continued story. Kathleen being axed would be good, but it wouldn’t fix the problem if the person who comes next doesn’t have a passion for Star Wars outside of just trying to claim impact monuments for the franchise or for just seeing cash flow in overabundance just cause a character looks cool. Passion is what Star Wars has, but currently not for telling a story that promotes the characters to be anything more than cardboard cutouts.
I tried with Andor, I really did. It’s just so boring. I feel like the build up every episode was awesome, then nothing happened. I’ve always been curious about what people love about it. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
Republic Commando was already remastered, Aspyr did that. Same with the first KOTOR, and they did that with the Wii version of The Force Unleashed… Remaster is one thing, a Remake is different, which is what a lot of people would like to see with Republic Commando.
Those weren't remasters at all just straight up ports. A remaster is where they bring the game up to playable modern standards by upscaling the graphics, changing controls to work with controllers or expand upon them further, and also just making sure the game runs on modern systems without any modding or tweaking to get it to work like FO3. A great example is the Dark Forces remaster by Nightdive
@@daftpunk672 Wrong, those were remasters. Aspyr even said that exact phrasing. If you didn't, go look at the Aspyr versions of those games, you'll see exactly why they are. Even the marketing materials for them call the games remasters.
Den of Nerds literally today said in his D23 Brazil stream that he enjoyed Acolyte more than Andor, these dudes and their bias against Andor is fucking wild
Theory not even slightly praising Andor has me wondering if he actually just hates every Disney Star Wars piece of media they put out just for controversy sake and easy views It's so weird and forced
It's not the greatest Star Wars that's ever been produced. The first 6 movies are, as a whole. Andor was good, great at parts even. But it will never not be a small side story about some small name characters, serving as a break from the main plot, which is the Jedi and the Sith. And while many of us recognize Andor was objectively good and a super nice surprise after the horrible projects released before and after it, it was still slow and boring at parts, and ultimately didn't feature any main players. Andor had a cool ruggedness to it, but it was never meant to be the main event. Hopefully it opened the doors for more serious projects though, now that Acolyte has firmly crashed and burned.
Katie puts in the work when it comes to the characters she plays. I was (still am) an original BSG fan but also the remake BSG with her playing Starbuck. I'm confident in stating that Her performance was one of the reasons people could accept the remake, that and it was written well.
My wife and I watched through all of Rebels before the recent shows came out. Sabine is a great character with lots of spunk and personality and then in live action she is a block of wood incomparison. The actors they have chosen are, from what i've seen in other projects all talented but under the directors they all seem to come across subdued and dead inside. I kind of doubt their performaces will be looked back on in 20 years as anything better then what they are right now.
Nah, what I got from Sabine is that she was lazy, cut corners, and never wanted to do the hard work. The Ashoka series actually illustrated that about her in the beginning and then chose to do a 180. Too many Mary-Sues at Lucas Films.
Because Filoni never created her character. It was Simon Kinberg who created Rebels and wrote the show for seasons 1-3. Sabine (the real Sabine) is a great character. Live action Sabine is horrible, and really isn’t talked about enough. For me, it was seriously on the level of Jake Skywalker character assassination
People hated the way they made Mando look like a Doof and propped up Bo in season 3. Fans are cool with Katee in general though, they like her as a person and an actress. The show just needs better writing, period. And don't lower a character in order to raise another up. Show everyone respect.
yeah i also dont understand people who say George doesnt know what he is doing ? what do u mean, he created it so whatever he does is literally what it is, thats the only person on the planet who can tell anyone what star wars is , there are probably plots in his head that he still hasn't shared with people about this thing he created. prequels, originals, clone wars are simply just Starwars. anything outside of that is fan fiction really.
The Prequels would've benefited from someone being able to tell him No every once in a while, but agreed. It's his stuff so he can do w/e he wants, and he did. For better or worse.
@@HybridSnake no. its his creation , we as fans love something he created out of his own mind, we dont get to tell him what the prequels should be because no one really knows that world more than he does. so yes for better or for worse, u either like the product or u dont , 40 years later it was the most loved IP of all time still till he sold it to Disney
Unfortunately miss "women are better than everything" made Starkiller and the real Luke and Ben Skywalker post Ep 6 non canon immediately after she had control over Star Wars because they were powerful fictional men and that threatened her womanhood
@@AndrewDembouski Lol dude no he isn't, he doesn't have to be the exact same age. He looks damn good anyways, plus they can rewrite his character however they want. It's their story
i quite enjoyed andor. For as much as i love the big names / lightsabers / etc it was nice to get more into the little people and everyday struggles behind the scenes
I haven't been pleased in a long time and I don't even consider myself hard to please. I haven't read many but every Disney book I've read I've loved (New Dawn, Tarkin, Thrawn), I consider the main 3 2015 comic series (Star Wars 2015, Darth Vader 2015 and Doctor Aphra 2015) to be the best SW comic offering of all time alongside the KOTOR comic series. Loved both EA Star Wars Battlefronts, the second one being an all-time favorite pew pew game of mine. I loved LEGO SW TFA, loved their mobile MMO that's long shut down now, liked Squadrons, loved Freemaker Adventures, loved Rebels, loved Andor, liked Mando, liked Resistance even. To this day I still defend TFA and think it's solid despite its sequels, Rogue One and Solo are also great. The expansions that have come to SWTOR after the Disney takeover I've thoroughly enjoyed. Why am I hard to please? Because Fallen Order felt meh and I called it such? Because The Bad Batch are bad and bland characters so the show was boring to follow? Because Omega contradicts lore which I inherently don't enjoy? Because I found Book of Boba Fett, Acolyte and Obi-Wan Kenobi bad on a literal production level alongside the rest of their problems? Cause I thought LEGO SW TSS was way too large with way too little value and almost no levels of traditional platforming? The new LEGO SW films, they lack the heart. Freemaker Adventures told a great tale in a comedic way, the new ones tell a barebones 'funny' tale in a comedic way, they don't have a point, or am I just hard to please? Visions was a wasted opportunity, a nothing burger. The High Republic, which fits in-between Knight Errant and TPM, feels disjointed and contradictory, it feels weird. LucasFilm is the Nintendo of cinema, they actively don't want you around. I'm easy to please, they're not making good stuff.
I thought she felt a little flat. Maybe she was trying to match Bo in the animated shows, but I thought she could have gotten away with a bit more expression. That's really the only criticism I could level at her, though; she fits the part perfectly.
This is an example of why I have loved Theory for going on 8 years. I watched this clip myself earlier today, but have no friends who are really into Star Wars, so Theory has always been my only friend I can share Star Wars with - even before I saw his face.
Revisionist history is not only applied to the Original Trilogy, Theory, and all the criticisms of the Original trilogy are still valid, in my opinion.
It's really not that hard to make fans happy. I m just amazed that disney is so try harding not to make fans happy. Also i think you're right about all of your points except mentioning Andor. I think Andor had the best intrigue and best balanced characters in Star wars content. There were no "good" or "bad" characters there, just characters. That was unique and i loved it.
I’m pretty sure there will be more people who liked the sequels in 20 years because I bet there was people who grew up with the sequels just like there was people who grew up with the prequels so there will more likely be more not less
@@adriandenton6637well the original trilogy is to good to be forgotten so that’s not going to happen every Star Wars fan love the original trilogy anyway I’m pretty sure I’ve always said it ill say it again it doesn’t matter what you like prequels , originals , sequels , if you like Star Wars in any way you’re a Star Wars fan it’s impossible for original trilogy fans to die out because every Star Wars fan is a original trilogy fan , if you don’t like what Disney are making then that’s fine you can talk about it and explore it with other people who feel the same way same thing if people do like what Disney are making I’m sure there will always be people who like it and people who don’t what’s important that we respect everyone’s opinion if Disney want to ignore the original movies then they will just louse money if they don’t ignore it but fuck it up because the people writing the story don’t understand Star Wars then they will lose money but if they have a writer that understands Star Wars then they will succeed the fans will be fine no matter what Disney decide!!!
Andor is a good show but it's a pointless show. Everyone knows what happens to the main character and all events in the show are inconsequential to the plot of star wars universe. Andor doesn't need to be star wars and star wars doesn't need Andor. All I'm saying is if you're going to make a good show, make the obi wan or boba fett shows good. Or anything good that isn't between the 1st six films. There are so many other more interesting things in star wars than some rebel cells that we've already explored to death in Rebels and Rogue One.
I read the Catalyst book now on the events building up to the construction of the death star. To then seeing how good Andor becamr and also the Rogue One movie is nothing else than a Masterpiece in bringing the story to the big screens. The scene in the end of Rogue One with Jyn and Cassian is one of the best in Star Wars history, not far from Vaders end scene trying to get the Death Star plans. I dont wanna see some starkiller cameo, that belongs to a game nothing more. I look forward to Obi-wan season 2 and Quinlan Vos. That is an interesting character bring to the big screens.
As much as I am fed up with the current state of Star Wars and the bastardisation of the the legacy characters and Lore, I genuinely loved and believe Andor was the the most engaging and well written properties in recent SW history. So hyped for what they do with S2. Theory, I know you weren't the biggest fan but if you were to give it another shot, you'd appreciate for sure the storytelling and character development. An actually sincere property that tells a compelling story. Also Luthen was the best Charcter we've had in years.
I really liked Bo Katan when she debuted in Clone Wars. She was great in Clone Wars season 7 and Rebels. However, I started to dislike her when they focused on her so much in Mando season 3 and made her the leader of Mandalore for a 2nd time with no backlash from anyone. You'd think that someone, especially Mando's group, would call our the fact that she has wrongfully taken the Darksaber, aka the throne of Mandalore, two times now. And why didn't anybody question the fact that she terrorized her own people with Pre Vizla, failed to take back Mandalore from Maul, was responsible for the night of a thousand tears, and GAVE Gideon the Dark Saber. But everyone is cool with her just taking the reigns of the mission to free Mandalore and the throne. Oh, and don't forget that she got the Dark Saber, which has survived for thousands of years, destroyed in a stupid move against Iron Gideon. So yeah, Bo Katan was once a cool character with potential. But she has been ruined due to inept writing and pushing feminism.
Bo suffered from major character regression in Season 3. She was also, y’know, doing the thing Disney+ does where it makes the central character a background player in his own show. I don’t blame Katee, btw. My understanding is that there was a lot of studio interference in S3.
@ no they aren’t they are legends only the names of the characters are canon but their stories are all legends there’s not been a canon Force Unleashed or Old Republic movie yet so therefore they are not canon
I'll be happy when the sequel trilogy is fully decanonized and they bring back the version of the SW universe that doesn't have grizzled hermit and attempted nephew-killer Jake Skywalker drinking blue space cow titty milk.
Lucasarts was one of the best gaming studios. They cared about quality and their user base. It's so sad that Disney shut down that division. Saying that Sam Witwer understands Star Wars is an understatement.
Absolutely love Sam Witwer, first saw him in Force Unleashed (as I'm sure a lot people did) and later found out that he was multiple voices in Clone Wars and then later a huge Star Wars fan. Katee Sackoff, I will admit, I have a small crush on her, but not from Clone Wars or Mandalorian but instead Battlestar Galactica due to her playing Starbuck, watched that show for the first time either just before or just after Season 2 of Mandalorian and so I was pretty hyped seeing her in two things that I loved and playing two characters I find interesting, because yeah, I'll be honest, I like Bo Katan, but I don't she should have been the main focus of Season 3 of Mando, if they wanted to do that, then give her her own show. Not replace the main character of his own show.
At the end of the day as much as we may like them, these people are actors and are paid to be liars for a living and benefit off playing with the emotion of the audience 👀
@@halomultiplayermoments so…. You look to people who are professionals a pretending to be someone else to tell you what to think? If so, have fun with that.
I LOVE THAT YOU SAID WHAT YOU DID. I believe that...except... if not for others influence, friends and family, only a few people will dislike anything you do. But they'll never know if people stop influencing. Unless to say STOP INFLUENCING! Let's all experience things for ourselves, decide yourself. Never let your decision be influenced, "oh it got bad reviews".... trust yourself.
Been a Katie Sackhoof fan since Longmire! I love her as Bo both animated & live action. Perfect example of an actor who understands the weight & appreciation of depicting Star Wars
Yea it was not the most loved game on release especially by critics and it underperformed. I honestly think theory is a bit wrong in his take that Star Wars shows are not more liked as time passes sometimes it feels like he forgets that Star Wars should always be for the kids first
@@davidfrederiksen3185 can we stop the "star wars has always been for kids" nonsense? An example of media made for kids are Peppa Pig, or Bluey or Dora the Explorer.
@@marcogenovesi8570 no that is for small kids. A kid is a person from the age of 1-18. Kids does not mean kindergarten it refers to all people who are not yet adult. That is why it’s a hero’s journey it’s a story about growing up
I didnt mind too much on the focus of mandalore in season 3. What i hated was the celebrity cameos that immediately took you out of it being star wars, and really hated that they immediately reunited Mando and Grogu. I think a lot of fans would have been up for Mando going solo for a season or 2 with a meaningful reunion with Grogu who has some training with Luke. But no... Grogu sells plushy so he had to immediately come back...
Disney be like : “let the past die kill it if you have to “ Star Wars fans be like "If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
100% agree with everything you say. I just rewatched R.1 & the original trilogy last week. R.1, great characters, casting, attention to detail & great writing. The original trilogy is timeless, I still get the same feeling when watching them today as I did as a kid. The chemistry between the characters, the humour, everything! Until they get writers in who actually know about Star Wars, and care, it will continue to fail
bro thank you. I haven't been watching star wars recently because of the directions they've been going in. Thanks for being a voice that actually calls out low effort when it arises in the series. I say this as a pansexual man, it is not any flavor of phobic or -ist to call out bad story writing or incorrect direction. I've seen you get accused of dumb stuff online when you call those aspects out specifically.
@@mmmaiamm3078 because it’s widely received as some of the best Star Wars since 1980 - which, spoiler alert, it absolutely is. Writing ✅ acting ✅ messaging ✅ music ✅ world-building ✅ lore ✅ - the show is literally sensational. That being said, it’s clearly not for everyone. But that’s the point I’m making - just because you may not personally ‘like’ something, it doesn’t take away from its CLEAR greatness. I’m not the biggest fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it’s clearly a great film.. it’s just not for me. It’s all about having a reasonable approach to things. Something Theory is lacking more and more in the last few years, unfortunately.
I think Witwer is right. It really can take 10-20 years to know if it made a real impact on the fans or not. Sometimes you can tell right away but how we treat the prequels now vs how we did in say 2008 is night and day.
I live in the UK and I don't remember anyone losing their head over the prequels. I still like them despite their faults. Now because of the internet I can see the 'mixed' response in the 00s in the US.
They did a rerelease of KOTOR 1 and 2 for switch. I had never played it back then, so it was the best 50$ I ever spent. They also did Force Unleashed 1/2 and another compilation. All worth the money to play great older games on a new system.
I’m so happy Sam mentioned Republic Commando. I made a UA-cam channel for it back in the day and made a lot of mods for it. It died a long time ago but he’s right. Everyone loves it like crazy to this day!
Disney and others seem to think that slapping the Star Wars tag on anything and everything will automatically make it a great piece of Star Wars media. It doesn’t. It needs to be authentic, respectful of the lore, and true to the fans.
When will fans be happy? When Kathleen Kennedy is fired, that's when.
We need a sea change
Exactly! When KK is gone and her woke agenda
@@brokenwrench404 Lol, what?
Her replacement will be the same, it's Bob Iger. He's got to go, too. It starts from the top, down.
I heard her contract ends at the beginning of 2025.
Meanwhile at Disney headquarters.....
Kathleen Kennedy: alright let's make another 3 movies about rey
whoever spread the next 3 movies being about rey was mostly incorrect.
"Only more plain-Jane chix uggo'd up as much as possible, way gayer and as lame as humanly possible (cuz the overwhelming vast majority demographic of adult straight male fans will surely like and support that!)" Genius...
@@CalebByRamenit was gonna be a mini series first then got pushed down to 1 movie. And I’m pretty sure it’s canceled now
Kathleen is going to take all of the credit for the mandalorian movie then ride off into the sunset with her middle finger towards the haters. A perfect ending
They aren’t about Rey, at least we don’t know that. I have extremely low expectations but I don’t think it’ll follow Rey.
Sam Witwer definitely needs to be involved in more projects. He knows so much about Star Wars, and he gets it
Agreed
He is the savior of Star Wars that we really need
Oh absolutely. He even did a video about his take on getting starkiller back into canon
yeah give us a Force Unleashed TV show or movies
@@AziaXtremeNFinity only if Kathleen Kennedy had nothing to do with it and Sam Whitwer gets to make all final decisions lol I don’t Disney to ruin Starkiller. But yeah a starkiller show would be sick lol
Sam Witwer is not only an actor. But he's a HUGE Star Wars fan.
He liked the sequels, not that much of a fan after all.
He’s a staunch defender of the Sequels and uses the DUMBEST reasoning behind defending every Disney has done
@Zovereign no he did not. He speaks about it often. You obviously have never listened. Just because he doesn't violently trash them means he liked them😂 he says he didn't like them all the time. Believe it or not, class and respect still exists for some folk
@@themisfitbrigadehe hates the sequels. We clearly watch two different twitch streams lmao
he’s also an idiot haha
From the moment I heard Sam Witwer explain his pushback against the director over his Starkiller meditation scene, I truly believed he should be running Star Wars.
Can y'all stop with that already? Sam cannot run star wars he's literally a voice actor..of course I love him but what are you on about
@@ExpertAssass1n Why cannot he? People change careers all the time. He may not want to, but that's not the same thing.

katee is an amazing actor.
its a shame disney doesnt appreciate her and give her a story worthy of that talent
Well they botched Mando S3 to make her the main character so there's that.
agreed
She was absolutely amazing as Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica. To those of you who haven't seen Battlestar Galactica, I HIGHLY recommend watching it. Really good sci-fi
@@navirbox4913 Yes but they had nothing for her to really work with story wise.
It was just a bunch of talking and no showing.
The entire season was the cast just sitting in chairs pretty much.
LMFAO
I’ll throw a party when they clean house at Lucas Film, starting with KK
The fact Kennedy has reduced Star Wars to strictly TV should be more then enough to get her fired
She won't leave until she has destroyed it to the point of no return...hateful woman
@@griswoldclark6835nobody noticed this except you.
I'll bring the blue milk to the party.
@@griswoldclark6835 Literally background tv for when ppl are doing laundry or banging smh (they want to make an all MCU/SW channel hoping that parents will just run it 24/7 for their kids smh). This is what these great IPs have become.
Met both Katee and Sam. They were actually the first 2 Star Wars actors I ever met, they're both very cool and kind (and know Star Wars). Got pictures and autographs with both. They would definitely make better Star Wars than a lot of the people they got making stuff at Disney.
I’ll never be able to stomach Bo Katan as a character tbh, and Kathleen Kennedy of course trying to make her a hero when she was a terrorist responsible for the fall of Mandalore and the deaths of her sister and countless of civilians is still outrageous. Disney going with that while nerfing Boba and Din just shows how far this franchise has fallen. Nothing against the actors. Just can’t stand how they’re writing the characters. I’m a huge fan of Temuera, and what they’ve done to Boba is unforgivable.
@@JangoNeedsSomeHead-o7zI mean, maybe this is just me, but I don’t think you can nerf Boba much more than he was in ROTJ. He got taken out by a blind man, by accident, and flailed his arms and screamed like a baby while doing so. You can’t really come back from that
@@JangoNeedsSomeHead-o7z a redemption arc for her could have been amazing. Unfortunately that requires complex writing that Disney is unable to do.
@@JangoNeedsSomeHead-o7z I get what you're saying about Bo Katan but let's not forget that Darth Vader was basically deemed "Space little mustache man" and he was given the opportunity to redeem himself in Ep. VI
Han was a a smuggler before he had a change of heart
Lando sold the crew out before he changed his ways and aided the escape on Jabba's skiff
Even Kylo had a change of heart and became a secondary hero in Ep. IX
Star Wars is and has always been about redemption so I don't mind the direction her arc took in Mando
Andor was excellent in psychological tension and has more world building and immersion than any other Disney project
Andor was peak Star Wars I don’t care
🎯💯
@@abenasinec6777 yeah Andor was trash, 'peak' hahaha🤣
Andor is trash dude, what are you smoking
Some people didn't like it and that's fine, but I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, It got grouped in with all these other disasters, and probably will never see the light of day again.
I agree with most of what you said but honestly Andor was amazing
I am one of those who enjoyed Andor a lot. It gives a world building and a compelling environment to why the Empire affected people more on a commen level.
It’s not adventurous like the originals but more serious and bleak. I think this work as its own thing.
True
Empire portrayed as an efficient, organised regime, not joke villains.
@@FelixTheory it was great science fiction, but didn't feel like star wars, but I'm more into the fantasy element of SW.
@@lucaschitwood4305 Exactly. So many people can't seem to separate good quality from having a SW feel. It's not even the fantasy elements, you don't really need the force, there's a lot going on that removes Andor a bit far from SW. It's still good though. People just don't get that and will jump down your throat for saying it.
When the very first Star Wars was about rising up against an evil Empire, and Andor being about the origin story of a rebel, freedom fighter, I just can't imagine something more true to Star Wars.
But hey, I guess every story needs Jedi and lightsabers and force users for it to be "feel like Star Wars".
It’s unfortunate that because of their contracts and because they want to stay on Disney’s good side they can’t really speak their mind entirely, they’re so scared of the backlash
I mean, when backlash means never working on something you’re passionate about again….
... Bull.... Stand up for the fans...
@@Figs4Fun bro, don’t do that. They do the best they can for what they can control. If you want more done do your best to get into Star Wars in that level.
@@Figs4FunStand up for the fans only to get fired and end up changing nothing. Sounds like a great idea
What makes you think they’d trash anything? Why do you think they’d have the same opinion as you?
I was once a Star Wars fan like your father; before the dark times…before the MOUSE
Hard disagree with you on Andor. It’s a show that doesn’t need to use the star wars brand as crutches. I think it’s one of the better additions to the franchise that’s from Disney. It highlights the true cost of organizing a rebellion. It shows how this fight made idealists do things so unthinkable and out of character to them. The call that betrays their values, sacrifices themselves, or even burn everyone they care about. Then we see why they do it.
Its the most un-star warsy, star wars content ive ever seen and in the current star wars climate that actually works in its favour
I think Andor more than anything, maybe also the animated shows, just tells you all they need to be is good and look like Star Wars. Those are the only two requirements. They can be anything at all as long as they're good.
Andor sucked.
@@Stevie8654 I find your lack of faith disturbing.
On a serious note, to each their own man.
I thought Andor was quite well made but it wasnt my cup of tea as far as star wars goes. I am just kinda tired of the underdog rebels take on the big empire story. I need some jedi and sith and the force for it to be star wars to me and we havent gotten quality in that area forbwuite some time
I understand people not liking Obi-Wan, Boba Fett, Acolyte and Mando S3, but I'm sorry anyone who says Andor is mid should definitely go and see more movies and TV shows that are actually good.
Cause it's hands down THE best single piece of Star Wars media Disney and Lucasfilm have ever put out.
Anything else they have done might be cool at best, but it's mostly blind fan service.
And is that really what Star Wars fans deserve? Is that really the best storytelling they can give us?
That's why Andor is so special and I can't wait for S2.
Well, the people who dislike it can console themselves that there is only one season remaining. I'm looking forward to that season very much.
💯🎯
It was good, but it wasn't better than the 6 movies, dude.
Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace, I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet.
was gonna like this comment but the likes were at 69
I will stand by my praise for Andor. That is the best writing along side the first two seasons of Mandalorian.
100% agree beautiful written show
great writing shit star wars show
@@randalthekidd7006 go play with your lightsabers. kiddo
Sam witwer and katee sackoff sound so humble and honest. I like how well they get along and how they truly understand what goes on in and out of the star wars universe.
We will be happy when you make good Star Wars!!!!
What r you talking about? Andor was way better than all the crap they've producing in these recent years, the acting and plot are better than the sequel trilogy. It's simply most underrated SW tv show ever.
Doesn’t have enough force, Jedi and lightsabers for some “fans”.
It is good but it just doesn’t feel like Star Wars.
🎯💯
Andor is not a star wars story it is a Star Wars side story's side story. That doesn't even feel like star wars
By far. It's not even in the same league as the rest of Disney's sw....and most of the eu
I gotta say too, I love the episodes directed by Bryce Dallas Howard. She seems to have a good grasp of the simplicity of star wars and her episodes were more memorable for me as well.
She’s not the best actor in my opinion but a great director, she should explore her directing career more
Ah yes, she of the lowest rated episodes in the entire Mandalorian series fame, directing such gems as the unintentionally comical Lizzo + Jack Black team up. Her continuing to fail upwards totally has nothing to do with her dad...
@sixcrowsilver let me specify then, season 1-2. I agree that season three was a shit show and majority of the episodes didn't serve the plot at all and it felt like there were too many cooks in the kitchen. So we agree on that 🤝 didn't have to come at me like that lol. Specifically her episode from season 1 with the village and Cara Dune helping Mando take out the walker. Her episode in season 2 wasn't that bad either in my opinion.
@@darthmalek98 Fair enough, wasn't meant to go at you but you're right that's how it came off so that's my bad, genuinely.
It was meant to criticize her, as I personally believe she's only still getting directing jobs because of her dad, which we can agree to disagree on. That Lizzo episode left a bad taste in my mouth lol but I do agree the scenes with Cara Dune were good.
@sixcrowsilver you good homie haha
We will be happy when we get something competently made. Just give us good stuff.
Your PFP is awesome!
Came to say the same thing. “We” loved seasons 1 and 2 of Mando. A lot of “us” loved Andor. Kenobi was hit or miss with the fan base. As was Ahsoka. But those were exponentially better than the rubbish they gave us in Boba, Mando 3 and Acolyte. We just want good Star Wars
@@rawswisher43 Thank you 💪🏻
@@AndrewDembouskiprecisely
@@AndrewDembouskiMando 3 was just sad. I feel like Jon has really lost the plot, and Dave has made me doubt any respect I ever had for him with Ahsoka.
Rebels was an amazing show, but I firmly believe it was Simon Kinberg, and not Filoni, who made it so good
I honestly have not a single bad thing to say about Katie Sackoff…love her vibe, personality and acting!
A "Starkiller" series would be legit, and could cross so many properties, especially since the guy is essentially a "ghost" off everyone's books
Kinda like "Vader's Hand" or similar?
Non cannon just like eu
Bro a Vader series would be awesome to I think people want a dark star wars film or series
Seeing Sam Witwer bringing Starkiller/Galen Marek would be so damn epic. Not very literate on EU lore though... but I see it would be complicated... if they kept this as non-canon, they'd start splitting the shows into EU and canon as well, which has a number of complications. If they brought him onboard as canon out of nowhere... they'd have to nerf him greatly to fit LMAO. That would betray his lore.
Katie and Sam are thankfully still great people who see the views of not just the company but the many views of the fanbase…they don’t bash us at all…they listen and try to understand
I love the Original Trilogy.
I really like the Prequels.
I loathe the Sequels.
The only two things George really did wrong were:
1) Adding too much spectacle to the Special Editions of the OT that harmed the story itself, or character identities.
And,
2) Installing Darth Kennedy as head of Lucasfilm when he sold to Disney.
I don't think anyone expected Disney to do what they've done to everything in their umbrella since acquiring Lucasfilm.
I feel Andor was the closest Disney got to George Lucas's vision. I think we need Sam Witwer to return to the universe as either Starkiller or maybe Kyle Katarn. Like, play Force Unleashed or Days Gone and you KNOW he has the acting chops for it!
😂 noooooooooo it wasn’t lol
@@randalthekidd7006womp womp andor haters are the minority
Nope, Rogue One was the most Lucas Star Wars product Disney has given us....hands down. Andor was the least Star Wars feeling product they have given us....even Acolyte felt more like a Star Wars product than Andor....and no, I am not an Andor hater, I've watched it three times now and am very much looking forward to S2.
I think it was the opposite, but thats 1 of the things i love about Andor, shows you the other side
Andor was authentic to George Lucas’s Star Wars but was not his Star Wars. It is a spy thriller set in the Star wars universe and it’s amazing. None of the other Star Wars stories is like Andor imo nor was it supposed to be. The thing about Andor is that it is so authentic to the world George Lucas created that you can definitely get that feel of “omg this is Star Wars!”
I'm with you on everything. Though I think Andor was actually pretty good. And I really enjoyed Rogue One. Would love to see Andor & Rogue One style put together to do a Darth Bane series
Bane series would need to be rated R and they would also need to modify the orbalisk sub plot cause those things seem pretty disgusting and not really something that would translate well into live action 🤔
When there’s no political agenda forced into Star Wars and people who deserve jobs on merit are hired at Lucasfilm and Disney.
This times a million. We'll be happy the moment Star Wars is more focused on telling an engaging story than it is on using it as a vehicle to spread left-wing politics.
Their only response ever is "Star Werz always has politicz brooo" and and proceed to tell you what to think
Lucas' Star Wars is firmly anti-authoritarian. It's not the political agenda that's the problem, it's the incapability of the writers to handle the topic well, show and not tell, and to wrap it all up in compelling stories and characters we connect with.
@bluemoondm8629 I believe that's what the OP was attempting to say. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with political themes in movies. The problems occur when the movie fails to naturally tie the political themes into the films narrative, and it becomes so heavy-handed that you feel like you are being preached to instead of entertained. Horrible advertisement also doesn't help. I don't care if a movie is gonna "own the chuds". I don't care if the movie's cast is incredibly diverse. I dont care if the movie features an LGBTQ character. NONE of those are selling points to me to get me interested in the film. So if those are a film's main selling point, I'm not gonna be interested. The only things I care about is a good plot and interesting characters. Those are the only two things that matter. If those things aren't center stage, your movie is a dud.
What’s hilarious and ironic is that the Prequels were a jab to George Bush, and Mark Hamill is out there like a doofus trying to get Bush to endorse Kamala Harris.😅
As a show runner, you can’t start a project with hate for the previous content. Hate begets hate. Start with love and your product will show that love.
I don’t think any show runners hated Star Wars. All of them are big fans, but you don’t have to understand something to like it. JJ Abrams is living proof of that
I see so many people saying that Andor "isn't Star Wars" what actually defines Star Wars?
I see no other reasons given other than its boring. Which tells you a lot about the majority of Star Wars fans
At this point people some viewers just get over excited by key jangling easter eggs. See Deadpool. The new geek 'fandom' is awful and vicious online.
@@TheDartho900 Star Wars can include infinite perspectives, tones and genres. The Visions anthologies are another example of this range.
1. Jedi & Sith
2. Rebels & the Empire
Those would be the main ingredients....
@@inefekt it's all about Rebels vs Empire. Doesn't seem to make sense for it to have Jedi as they are extinct (also Season 2 may or may not reveal something regarding this, so we will see). The Emperor is mentioned. I think in terms of tone/approach/genre it's very different from every other live action Star Wars project, but it does rather remind me of the old EU overall.
A friend on twitter told me this
"Like I've said from the beginning:

@@amirrashidan3047 we need to limit what people says in the industries
To a degree this is correct...but if something fundamentally goes against your base beliefs and ideals in a ham-fisted propagandist way your politics will most definitely come into it.
When ppl make a traditionally pro-egalitarian pro-individualism IP or characters like from SW or Marvel into authoritarian collectivist propagandist drivel like The Acolyte or She-Hulk or Agatha All Along ppl will 100% boycott that garbage (as we've seen).
Nobody in their right mind wants to watch bad writers fail at justifying evil things and bad people while expecting you to clap and cheer like it's some meaningful accomplishment.
The Joker films are a great example of this.
Ppl liked the first one cuz it did the work to make him a tragic villain and set up to do the character the justice it actually deserved so he could become the Clown Prince of Crime we know and...find so compelling (
@@amirrashidan3047 Thats true but everyone liked the original trilogy. Even the critics back then. Because that trilogy was made in a time where people didn't give a shit about political agendas in the first place. People were BASED back then.

Entertainment is being taking over by political extremists that want division in different communities and only make content that benefits them.

@@TheBabyCaleb acolyte was definitely shit but doesn't change the fact Andor pacing was that of a snail.
It wasn't boring because it didn't have lightsabers and blasters every five minutes it was a slow burn show that drags until episode 3 before actually picking up and ends with a good payoff but getting there is like watching paint dry but at the end it is a good painting
The problem with Bo Katan is that Pedro Pascal doesn't want to do the Mandalorian anymore because he knows he can be better in other products, so for S3, they tried to transition his story to become Bo's story while also adding several loopholes for letting Bo continue taking off her helmet so we can see the actress' face (ah Mando is our leader because he is literally holding the Darksaber but he took off his helmet in a life or death situation therefore he is not our leader anymore. But you saw our equivalent of a unicorn so not only are you our leader but you may also take off your helmet too)
The irony behind that is Mando was probably what made Pedro famous
@@shotszvgaming6974 Pedro has a big Ego. He's another one of those people who want everything to be about them.
@@shotszvgaming6974 I would argue differently. After nearly two decades of taking small roles on stage and television, Pascal had his breakout role as Oberyn Martell in the fourth season of the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones (2014). He gained further prominence with his portrayal of Javier Peña in the Netflix crime series Narcos (2015-2017). He went on to appear in the films The Great Wall (2016), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), The Equalizer 2 (2018), and Triple Frontier (2019). and Joel Miller in the HBO post-apocalyptic drama series The Last of Us (2023-present) propelled him to international stardom.

I do agree with you about most points, but I do think there is room for more variety than the grand space opera style of the original movies. I think you are right in that those stories need to remain the center of the universe, but the world of Star Wars is incredible. I know you didn't like Andor, and I see where you're coming from, but I think Andor is a great example of variety done right. They fit the story in a place and time where the story they wanted to tell made sense, and just set out to tell a compelling, character driven narrative. Where various other shows go wrong, at least in part, is they fit the world to the story without regard to canon, logic, or character. Instead of letting the world define their story, they let their story define their world (like Book of Boba Fett). I'm not saying Andor is the future of Star Wars, but it absolutely demonstrated that a wide variety of stories can be told within this universe without breaking the world around it.
good comment
Let’s be real, this whole franchise is beyond cooked at this point
only path forward, i can see, is to throw the sequels into legends, and redo ep 7-9 with a recasted luke, leia and han. They'll never have more than 15 mins screen time in the future due to how expensive deepfaking is.
Yep. Its irrevocably damaged.
@@corruptsion3725 I just don't see that happening.
@@michbenny1363 neither but its the only way to regain interest imo. its working for the dcu, it would work for star wars.
@@corruptsion3725 Would a Vader film be a way to regain interest? If it goes well I feel that would bring back a lot of fans.
Looking forward to episode 2!
Well, yes, we are looking forward to episode 2 if Sam Whiter appears, if not, then it's up to him. Greetings from Mexico.
I'm 54, saw the OT in cinemas and was happy over and over again, I was happy with the prequels too. I wish it was done then. I miss the original EU too. As for Disney? It's not interesting enough to watch again, None of it.
I liked s3 of mando in general and I know I’m probably one of the few pp who liked it. The reason I liked s3 was because of the look it gave in SW world at that time but I agree it was not really a Mando show at that point.
Star Wars canon was something that I wasn’t aware of outside of the movies when I was younger. I met my best friend who was a Star Wars fan who educated in the expanded lore and universe, what was canon BEFORE it was called “Legends”, blew my mind. There was a lot of cool stuff, but I could honestly say that Kyle Katarn and how much he influenced the continued story after episode 6.
I think what Star Wars lost was the ability to tell a story that could have characters that didn’t need to be good for the sake of being seen, either for relatable or identifiable for an audience member rather than the audience as a whole. Katarn had a wide and colorful character arc throughout his adventures as well as many vital involvements for the continued story.
Kathleen being axed would be good, but it wouldn’t fix the problem if the person who comes next doesn’t have a passion for Star Wars outside of just trying to claim impact monuments for the franchise or for just seeing cash flow in overabundance just cause a character looks cool.
Passion is what Star Wars has, but currently not for telling a story that promotes the characters to be anything more than cardboard cutouts.
Andor was much more than just plain "exposition." It was the best Disney+ show so far.
Andor deserves more love imo. Gets better on rewatch
I tried with Andor, I really did. It’s just so boring. I feel like the build up every episode was awesome, then nothing happened. I’ve always been curious about what people love about it. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it.
@@samrice5912 nothing happened? Guess you missed the prison escape and the riot after Maarva’s recorded speech.
@@buncer don't forget the Eye.
it’s good cause it’s something else that’s not Star Wars
Republic Commando was already remastered, Aspyr did that. Same with the first KOTOR, and they did that with the Wii version of The Force Unleashed… Remaster is one thing, a Remake is different, which is what a lot of people would like to see with Republic Commando.
I’d love a republic commando remake in hi def
Those weren't remasters at all just straight up ports. A remaster is where they bring the game up to playable modern standards by upscaling the graphics, changing controls to work with controllers or expand upon them further, and also just making sure the game runs on modern systems without any modding or tweaking to get it to work like FO3. A great example is the Dark Forces remaster by Nightdive
@@daftpunk672agreed 😂 the only remaster the Wii could handle was Nintendo 64 games 😂
@@daftpunk672 Wrong, those were remasters. Aspyr even said that exact phrasing. If you didn't, go look at the Aspyr versions of those games, you'll see exactly why they are. Even the marketing materials for them call the games remasters.
@@brokenwrench404 It would be very cool to see
Andor is now single handedly carrying what is left of Star Wars on its back
Theorys dislike of Andor will never cease to frustrate me. That's the single greatest piece of content Disney Star Wars has ever produced.
strongly agree
Den of Nerds literally today said in his D23 Brazil stream that he enjoyed Acolyte more than Andor, these dudes and their bias against Andor is fucking wild
Theory not even slightly praising Andor has me wondering if he actually just hates every Disney Star Wars piece of media they put out just for controversy sake and easy views
It's so weird and forced
Andor was shit lol give it another watch
It's not the greatest Star Wars that's ever been produced. The first 6 movies are, as a whole. Andor was good, great at parts even. But it will never not be a small side story about some small name characters, serving as a break from the main plot, which is the Jedi and the Sith. And while many of us recognize Andor was objectively good and a super nice surprise after the horrible projects released before and after it, it was still slow and boring at parts, and ultimately didn't feature any main players. Andor had a cool ruggedness to it, but it was never meant to be the main event. Hopefully it opened the doors for more serious projects though, now that Acolyte has firmly crashed and burned.
Katie puts in the work when it comes to the characters she plays. I was (still am) an original BSG fan but also the remake BSG with her playing Starbuck. I'm confident in stating that Her performance was one of the reasons people could accept the remake, that and it was written well.
My wife and I watched through all of Rebels before the recent shows came out. Sabine is a great character with lots of spunk and personality and then in live action she is a block of wood incomparison. The actors they have chosen are, from what i've seen in other projects all talented but under the directors they all seem to come across subdued and dead inside. I kind of doubt their performaces will be looked back on in 20 years as anything better then what they are right now.
Nah, what I got from Sabine is that she was lazy, cut corners, and never wanted to do the hard work. The Ashoka series actually illustrated that about her in the beginning and then chose to do a 180. Too many Mary-Sues at Lucas Films.
Because Filoni never created her character. It was Simon Kinberg who created Rebels and wrote the show for seasons 1-3. Sabine (the real Sabine) is a great character. Live action Sabine is horrible, and really isn’t talked about enough. For me, it was seriously on the level of Jake Skywalker character assassination
People hated the way they made Mando look like a Doof and propped up Bo in season 3. Fans are cool with Katee in general though, they like her as a person and an actress. The show just needs better writing, period. And don't lower a character in order to raise another up. Show everyone respect.
Andor is great. It made me go watch the Bourne movies that Gilroy adapted in screenplay.
The only thing I didn't like about Bo Katan was that her and mando didn't end up bumping Helmets
0:11 That’s one way of saying it.
yeah i also dont understand people who say George doesnt know what he is doing ? what do u mean, he created it so whatever he does is literally what it is, thats the only person on the planet who can tell anyone what star wars is , there are probably plots in his head that he still hasn't shared with people about this thing he created. prequels, originals, clone wars are simply just Starwars. anything outside of that is fan fiction really.
The Prequels would've benefited from someone being able to tell him No every once in a while, but agreed. It's his stuff so he can do w/e he wants, and he did. For better or worse.
@@HybridSnake no. its his creation , we as fans love something he created out of his own mind, we dont get to tell him what the prequels should be because no one really knows that world more than he does. so yes for better or for worse, u either like the product or u dont , 40 years later it was the most loved IP of all time still till he sold it to Disney
Wish we would finally have Sam in a live action setting as Starkiller
I’ve wanted this for a decade
Unfortunately miss "women are better than everything" made Starkiller and the real Luke and Ben Skywalker post Ep 6 non canon immediately after she had control over Star Wars because they were powerful fictional men and that threatened her womanhood
He’s well past the age unfortunately and there’s no way for them to fit him into the universe
@AndrewDembouski bro said way past the age when Mark Hamill, Hayden, and Ewan were in Star Wars until recently and they aren't young by any means
@@AndrewDembouski Lol dude no he isn't, he doesn't have to be the exact same age. He looks damn good anyways, plus they can rewrite his character however they want. It's their story
I like Katee Sackhoff as an actress, and her show. Just putting it out there.
i quite enjoyed andor. For as much as i love the big names / lightsabers / etc it was nice to get more into the little people and everyday struggles behind the scenes
I haven't been pleased in a long time and I don't even consider myself hard to please. I haven't read many but every Disney book I've read I've loved (New Dawn, Tarkin, Thrawn), I consider the main 3 2015 comic series (Star Wars 2015, Darth Vader 2015 and Doctor Aphra 2015) to be the best SW comic offering of all time alongside the KOTOR comic series. Loved both EA Star Wars Battlefronts, the second one being an all-time favorite pew pew game of mine. I loved LEGO SW TFA, loved their mobile MMO that's long shut down now, liked Squadrons, loved Freemaker Adventures, loved Rebels, loved Andor, liked Mando, liked Resistance even. To this day I still defend TFA and think it's solid despite its sequels, Rogue One and Solo are also great. The expansions that have come to SWTOR after the Disney takeover I've thoroughly enjoyed.
Why am I hard to please? Because Fallen Order felt meh and I called it such? Because The Bad Batch are bad and bland characters so the show was boring to follow? Because Omega contradicts lore which I inherently don't enjoy? Because I found Book of Boba Fett, Acolyte and Obi-Wan Kenobi bad on a literal production level alongside the rest of their problems? Cause I thought LEGO SW TSS was way too large with way too little value and almost no levels of traditional platforming? The new LEGO SW films, they lack the heart. Freemaker Adventures told a great tale in a comedic way, the new ones tell a barebones 'funny' tale in a comedic way, they don't have a point, or am I just hard to please? Visions was a wasted opportunity, a nothing burger. The High Republic, which fits in-between Knight Errant and TPM, feels disjointed and contradictory, it feels weird. LucasFilm is the Nintendo of cinema, they actively don't want you around.
I'm easy to please, they're not making good stuff.
I don’t remember anyone complaining about her acting.
I thought she felt a little flat. Maybe she was trying to match Bo in the animated shows, but I thought she could have gotten away with a bit more expression. That's really the only criticism I could level at her, though; she fits the part perfectly.
This is an example of why I have loved Theory for going on 8 years. I watched this clip myself earlier today, but have no friends who are really into Star Wars, so Theory has always been my only friend I can share Star Wars with - even before I saw his face.
Revisionist history is not only applied to the Original Trilogy, Theory, and all the criticisms of the Original trilogy are still valid, in my opinion.
The mandalorian was also EPIC. Especially the episodes that had mandalorians in them, and the Bill Burr episodes. Gosh I felt like a kid again!
It's really not that hard to make fans happy. I m just amazed that disney is so try harding not to make fans happy. Also i think you're right about all of your points except mentioning Andor. I think Andor had the best intrigue and best balanced characters in Star wars content. There were no "good" or "bad" characters there, just characters. That was unique and i loved it.
Fun fact. She’s one of my clients. I do work on her home like 5 times a year 😂 first time I showed up I was like… wait
That’s a lot of coffins.
@ 😂
I’m pretty sure there will be more people who liked the sequels in 20 years because I bet there was people who grew up with the sequels just like there was people who grew up with the prequels so there will more likely be more not less
That's exactly what Disney wants when the OT fans start dying off. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug.
@@adriandenton6637well the original trilogy is to good to be forgotten so that’s not going to happen every Star Wars fan love the original trilogy anyway I’m pretty sure I’ve always said it ill say it again it doesn’t matter what you like prequels , originals , sequels , if you like Star Wars in any way you’re a Star Wars fan it’s impossible for original trilogy fans to die out because every Star Wars fan is a original trilogy fan , if you don’t like what Disney are making then that’s fine you can talk about it and explore it with other people who feel the same way same thing if people do like what Disney are making I’m sure there will always be people who like it and people who don’t what’s important that we respect everyone’s opinion if Disney want to ignore the original movies then they will just louse money if they don’t ignore it but fuck it up because the people writing the story don’t understand Star Wars then they will lose money but if they have a writer that understands Star Wars then they will succeed the fans will be fine no matter what Disney decide!!!
9:01 even though you didn't enjoy Andor, most people really liked it and is the best star wars since Clone Wars
Andor is a good show but it's a pointless show. Everyone knows what happens to the main character and all events in the show are inconsequential to the plot of star wars universe. Andor doesn't need to be star wars and star wars doesn't need Andor. All I'm saying is if you're going to make a good show, make the obi wan or boba fett shows good. Or anything good that isn't between the 1st six films. There are so many other more interesting things in star wars than some rebel cells that we've already explored to death in Rebels and Rogue One.
I didn't enjoy it, either. But I also had mixed thoughts leaning into negative on Clone Wars (2008).
@@Hurduriby that logic, the PT is pointless too
The frustrating thing about Theory is he acts like everyone (or the majority of people) share his opinion on everything
I read the Catalyst book now on the events building up to the construction of the death star. To then seeing how good Andor becamr and also the Rogue One movie is nothing else than a Masterpiece in bringing the story to the big screens.
The scene in the end of Rogue One with Jyn and Cassian is one of the best in Star Wars history, not far from Vaders end scene trying to get the Death Star plans.
I dont wanna see some starkiller cameo, that belongs to a game nothing more.
I look forward to Obi-wan season 2 and Quinlan Vos. That is an interesting character bring to the big screens.
As much as I am fed up with the current state of Star Wars and the bastardisation of the the legacy characters and Lore, I genuinely loved and believe Andor was the the most engaging and well written properties in recent SW history. So hyped for what they do with S2.
Theory, I know you weren't the biggest fan but if you were to give it another shot, you'd appreciate for sure the storytelling and character development. An actually sincere property that tells a compelling story. Also Luthen was the best Charcter we've had in years.
i believe all content like this NEEDS TO BE OFF CAMERA discussed in person, amongst friends. no internet, we all make real life friends.
I really liked Bo Katan when she debuted in Clone Wars. She was great in Clone Wars season 7 and Rebels. However, I started to dislike her when they focused on her so much in Mando season 3 and made her the leader of Mandalore for a 2nd time with no backlash from anyone. You'd think that someone, especially Mando's group, would call our the fact that she has wrongfully taken the Darksaber, aka the throne of Mandalore, two times now. And why didn't anybody question the fact that she terrorized her own people with Pre Vizla, failed to take back Mandalore from Maul, was responsible for the night of a thousand tears, and GAVE Gideon the Dark Saber. But everyone is cool with her just taking the reigns of the mission to free Mandalore and the throne. Oh, and don't forget that she got the Dark Saber, which has survived for thousands of years, destroyed in a stupid move against Iron Gideon.
So yeah, Bo Katan was once a cool character with potential. But she has been ruined due to inept writing and pushing feminism.
Bo suffered from major character regression in Season 3. She was also, y’know, doing the thing Disney+ does where it makes the central character a background player in his own show. I don’t blame Katee, btw. My understanding is that there was a lot of studio interference in S3.
@GrahamCStrouse Exactly bro. And I don't blame Katee either. She's great. It's definitely the studio, i.e., Kathleen Kennedy
I’ll be happy when we finally get force unleashed and the old republic as canon
They’re already canon
@ no they aren’t they are legends only the names of the characters are canon but their stories are all legends there’s not been a canon Force Unleashed or Old Republic movie yet so therefore they are not canon
I'll be happy when the sequel trilogy is fully decanonized and they bring back the version of the SW universe that doesn't have grizzled hermit and attempted nephew-killer Jake Skywalker drinking blue space cow titty milk.
Sam Witwer is honestly one of the best people that Star Wars has, he knows Star Wars more than the majority of producers, even the Jon faverou
Lucasarts was one of the best gaming studios. They cared about quality and their user base. It's so sad that Disney shut down that division. Saying that Sam Witwer understands Star Wars is an understatement.
Absolutely love Sam Witwer, first saw him in Force Unleashed (as I'm sure a lot people did) and later found out that he was multiple voices in Clone Wars and then later a huge Star Wars fan.
Katee Sackoff, I will admit, I have a small crush on her, but not from Clone Wars or Mandalorian but instead Battlestar Galactica due to her playing Starbuck, watched that show for the first time either just before or just after Season 2 of Mandalorian and so I was pretty hyped seeing her in two things that I loved and playing two characters I find interesting, because yeah, I'll be honest, I like Bo Katan, but I don't she should have been the main focus of Season 3 of Mando, if they wanted to do that, then give her her own show. Not replace the main character of his own show.
WHEN WE GOT ANDOR. Give us more of that kind of stuff!
At the end of the day as much as we may like them, these people are actors and are paid to be liars for a living and benefit off playing with the emotion of the audience 👀

Yea it was not the most loved game on release especially by critics and it underperformed. I honestly think theory is a bit wrong in his take that Star Wars shows are not more liked as time passes sometimes it feels like he forgets that Star Wars should always be for the kids first
@@davidfrederiksen3185 can we stop the "star wars has always been for kids" nonsense?
An example of media made for kids are Peppa Pig, or Bluey or Dora the Explorer.
@@marcogenovesi8570Star Wars is for kids. Doesn’t mean it should forego quality though. There’s a difference.
@@officialmonarchmusic No it is not. Some Star Wars tv series or spin offs were for kids (clone wars and ewoks movies).
@@marcogenovesi8570 no that is for small kids. A kid is a person from the age of 1-18. Kids does not mean kindergarten it refers to all people who are not yet adult. That is why it’s a hero’s journey it’s a story about growing up
I didnt mind too much on the focus of mandalore in season 3. What i hated was the celebrity cameos that immediately took you out of it being star wars, and really hated that they immediately reunited Mando and Grogu.
I think a lot of fans would have been up for Mando going solo for a season or 2 with a meaningful reunion with Grogu who has some training with Luke. But no... Grogu sells plushy so he had to immediately come back...
Valid response imo. I love reading different povs and thats what its all about, different povs
I really agree on this. 'Get Grogu back asap. We need to sell toys'. Jack Black and Lizzo was the final straw for me. Not even bothered anymore.
When will Star Wars fans be happy? When it gets back to being Star Wars.
Disney:
"Wow why didn't I think of that??"
Disney be like : “let the past die kill it if you have to “
Star Wars fans be like "If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
100% agree with everything you say.
I just rewatched R.1 & the original trilogy last week.
R.1, great characters, casting, attention to detail & great writing.
The original trilogy is timeless, I still get the same feeling when watching them today as I did as a kid. The chemistry between the characters, the humour, everything!
Until they get writers in who actually know about Star Wars, and care, it will continue to fail
bro thank you. I haven't been watching star wars recently because of the directions they've been going in. Thanks for being a voice that actually calls out low effort when it arises in the series. I say this as a pansexual man, it is not any flavor of phobic or -ist to call out bad story writing or incorrect direction. I've seen you get accused of dumb stuff online when you call those aspects out specifically.
I saw an interview with sackhoff where she said freedom of speech is ok as long as you dont hurt anyones feelings

@@GeekyMediawell if he doesn't like andor why would he acknowledge it as good? Are you slow or just don't think before you speak.
@@mmmaiamm3078 because it’s widely received as some of the best Star Wars since 1980 - which, spoiler alert, it absolutely is. Writing ✅ acting ✅ messaging ✅ music ✅ world-building ✅ lore ✅ - the show is literally sensational.
That being said, it’s clearly not for everyone. But that’s the point I’m making - just because you may not personally ‘like’ something, it doesn’t take away from its CLEAR greatness. I’m not the biggest fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it’s clearly a great film.. it’s just not for me.
It’s all about having a reasonable approach to things. Something Theory is lacking more and more in the last few years, unfortunately.
You can definitely tell these 2 love being in Star Wars.
bought a theory saber and it is amazing thanks so much!
You didn’t like Andor?
I think Witwer is right. It really can take 10-20 years to know if it made a real impact on the fans or not. Sometimes you can tell right away but how we treat the prequels now vs how we did in say 2008 is night and day.
I live in the UK and I don't remember anyone losing their head over the prequels. I still like them despite their faults. Now because of the internet I can see the 'mixed' response in the 00s in the US.
We’ll be happy when Disney hires people that care about what George created
They did a rerelease of KOTOR 1 and 2 for switch. I had never played it back then, so it was the best 50$ I ever spent. They also did Force Unleashed 1/2 and another compilation. All worth the money to play great older games on a new system.
I’m so happy Sam mentioned Republic Commando. I made a UA-cam channel for it back in the day and made a lot of mods for it. It died a long time ago but he’s right. Everyone loves it like crazy to this day!
Did he say andor wasnt good? I thought it was and alot of ppl did u also never mentioned badbatch
Andor was amazing I don't know why SWT doesn't like it
It doesn't have the force and lightsabers in it. It's definitely good but Star Wars couldn't continue with just Andor style shows/movies.
You forgot to credit Sam with his amazing Emperor performance as well.
Fun fact: in an interview awhile back (last year I think) George Lucas said that Kenobi is one of his favorite’s of the current era Star Wars shows
Disney and others seem to think that slapping the Star Wars tag on anything and everything will automatically make it a great piece of Star Wars media. It doesn’t. It needs to be authentic, respectful of the lore, and true to the fans.
