      For all their issues, at least the Prequels tried to do something new and bring a completely new style and story to SW.

      The Sequels just feel like someone wanted to rewrite the OT because they thought they had better ideas.

          If Spielberg hadn’t convinced George to do everything himself, just imagine what kinds of stories we could have had…

            Yeah, that was the real problem with the prequels. The ideas were good, but executing them often took Lucas outside of his areas of expertise. He needed more help making them, but everyone he asked told him “no”.

      If you skipped Andor because of that, I’d highly recommend at least considering that one. I thought it was an incredible short series with fantastic writing, and that’s coming from someone who basically hates anything other than the OG trilogy.
