Something I've been thinking about lately regarding #streaming is that a show needs to be a breakout HIT on its first season or its at risk of getting canceled. Shows like #TheAcolyte I think deserve more than 1 season. It was certainly miles ahead of the #kenobi series yet because that one had fan service its probably gonna get a 2nd season it didn't even plan on doing yet the show with NEW ideas, a NEW setting, NEW characters but with all the same structural problems gets cut short. #starwars

Wow! If I had a nickel for every Disney+ miniseries that is a spinoff of a movie series, where one character is a Black woman who wears black armor and has sci-fi-esque superpowers, who starts off as an antagonist but ends up working with the white male lead toward a shared goal, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but isn’t it weird that it happened twice?

We're re-watching the older #StarWars movies and just finished II: Attack of the Clones. While even as a teenager I realized that the Empire was clearly fascist and modeled after some combination of Rome and the Nazis (among others, perhaps), I'd never realized how horrible the younger #Kenobi was and what a #cult the #Jedi were -

"You can love only us - no family connections, no looking out for anyone not in our elite club, no feeling anything we don't teach you to feel - and if you show any individuality, we will belittle and chide you until you have no choice but to go apostate."

Seriously, I was rooting for Anakin by halfway through the film.

Just rewatched Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return on #DisneyPlus. I got tears in my eyes. Again.

My most very favorite couple is #ObiWan and #Anakin and I get so sad thinking about Anakin’s fall to the #darkSide, though I do love #DarthVader. But oh, the cost! What #Padme went through, too…

I’m so glad for #TheCloneWars because I got more of these characters together on the #lightSide. Might be time to rewatch them again for the 4th time!

Since this isn't #Twitter I'm probably just blowing smoke into the wind here but... I find it interesting how many so-called #StarWars "fans" shit on Kathleen Kennedy by attacking her for the sequel trilogy or #BobaFett or #Kenobi or #Solo. But when #RogueOne or #Andor or #TheMandalorian are brought up, they act as if she had very little to NO input.

The reality is that the ST & Boba & Solo were conceptualized by George before he sold to #Disney. RO, Mando, & Andor were Kennedy's projects.
