Star wars. I just have such a love/frustration relationship with it. This includes stuff produced by George Lucas btw.

I feel like it tries to appease all crowds. The family friendly crowd, the autistic nerdy crowd, the politics obsessed crowd and so on.

Andor for example is peak star wars, because it's made specifically for one audience. No one's taking their 6yo to watch this.

The problem is when a kids' show has the prerequisite plot for a show with a totally different audience.

Take the clone wars for example. It started as nothing more than a kids' show. Then, it ended dark. Same with rebels. Look at episode 3. Amazing amazing plot with the transformation of the Republic into the empire. And then you have jar jar binks.

Let's not even begin to talk about Disney.

Star wars just has so much potential due to its huge world and the Jedi/sith stuff. But it's just so frustrating to see how such art can be wounded by the will to earn money.

I know this isn't "the most unforgivable sin" or whatever, but I suppose it's definitely up there. It's the sin of painting an angry face emoji on top of a beautiful and detailed painting of an unimaginabley cruel monster, just so that more toys can be sold.
