Definitely 100% done with the resistance era, and any canon material that comes after it.
Kinda done with the clone wars era stuff, but at least there are still some niche avenues left unexplored.
Also definitely done with anything rule of two. The idea of it has ruined any chances of writing actually interesting dark side characters, because you’ll always see the same cycle of student-master power struggle.
It’s about time sith ideology was portrayed for what it is actually supposed to be, and not just “bad guys with red lightsabers”. Curious what this show will bring, but not quite convinced yet. Only thing that will definitely get that right is a truthful, both-sides, Old Republic era show covering all different factions of interest without presenting any one as morally superior.
I don’t know, the best movies and TV shows have just been the ones where they’re more free to do what they want. Rouge one, madalorian, andor were all able to define and build their characters how they wanted and only loosely tie into the bigger world. Bobba Fett, Ashoka, Obi-Wan, Sequels all had a lot of baggage to deal with.
The writing in Obi-wan was just absolutely awful. The sequels suffered from a lack of leadership direction for something that was planned as a trilogy. Boba Fett missed the fact that people loved Boba Fett because he was a mysterious badass. Ashoka I really enjoyed. It had flaws and it was definitely no Andor, but it’s no Obi-wan either. Ashoka’s biggest flaw was it was Rebels Season 5 and it was sold as it’s own series. I can’t imagine getting into that show without having seen Rebels prior to watching it.
I’m exited for something that doesn’t take place within the same 50 year window of time.

Agreed. Here’s to hoping it will be closer to Andor than Ahsoka in terms of overall quality.
I agree, but that’s such a tough thing to read.
If you had asked me before either came out Andor or Ahsoka I’d have picked Ahsoka 10 out of 10 times.
That isn’t to say Ahsoka was bad, it was just fine, but Andor was absolutely amazing.
This show would be my third pick, so based on how bad I am at guessing this will be amazing.
I think from the trailers it was obvious which of those would be better. This smacks more of Ahsoka. Dear god let it not be Obi Wan.
