Totally agree. I feel the same about Indy, Henry, Sallah and Marcus riding into the sunset. Thankyou. We’re done now. That was fun. Goodbye!

Yeah and in ROTJ when Obi-Wan's ghost was sharing all the dirt on Anakin he didn't say "plus he got married and had you and your sister which is a big no no." The whole celibacy thing just randomly became a thing with AOTC.

We'd have had even more content on Tatooine than we already do. New Star Wars is already so reliant on the OT era and nostalgia. It'd be even worse if we never moved out of that bubble at all. As far as I'm concerned Disney Star Wars has been more good than bad overall. Lucas didn't have a 100% trackrecord either.
Yellow lightsabers didn't make Star Wars woke.
Disney didn't ignore anything. It was already established in canon before they bought it.
Personally I preferred when the lightsaber colour reflected the personality and role of each Jedi, as was established in KOTOR. Now they don't really mean anything, aside from in TCW where only Jedi Temple Guards seem to have yellow exclusively.

George Lucas 1977-2005: Jedi failed cause they had a blind spot they believed absolute selfless love for all living beings, meant letting go of personal connection to any one, and with it the fear of losing them. It took Luke who never surrendered either, to bring about their return.

Why is this not talked about more?! Does my ******* head in.And, when you look at any of the old "making of videos" of ROTJ, you see Lucas telling Hamill (during a costume fitting), that the costume he's wearing (the back outfit and robe) is a traditional outfit of the Jedi.

Broke and happy
Yikes!
From the showrunner dude:
“Barely 30 minutes”
Pathetic

Just goes to show you all these people that make these D+ shows are clueless and not experienced enough in TV. Shows like this that need to be story driven should be like 50 - 60 min. Instead of more episodes and shorter run times, make them longer runtimes and less episodes. That's why I choose to wait and binge these shows nowadays, if I even watch them at all. I'd rather watch a couple hours in a row, like a movie, instead of 1 30 minute episode week to week. Or wait altogether till the series is complete and watch them back to back.
But all they care about is making content. For the tik tok & YT shorts generation. Their attention span barely makes it to the 30 min runtime..
I'm beginning to hate watching Movies & TV shows with my kids. They have to pick up their phones like every 10 minutes, then I spend 5 minutes yelling at them...

Sadly, I just wish SW would **** off and die for a while... I'm so sick of seeing the name and logo that I virtually want to puke every time I do. Like the MCU, it's lost it magic through over saturation and abysmal content.
Hopefully, time will heal the wounds
Yeah it doesn't exactly make this sound like an epic SW story they're telling, but more just a series of quick throwaway adventures. Which is fine for something like Mandalorian, but not for what this was promised to be.

I'm guessing it has some to do with being more mindful of the over bloated budgets they give their shows/films, which as of late has not seen a healthy return on that investment.
I'm sure they're aware this show, the next show and the next few films they release are basically going to flop. They aren't that stupid. They realize the majority of the public aren't into their stuff.
But the people that run things at Disney aren't too concerned with putting out stuff that will flop and cost the company money. The messeage is what's important. And doubling down on putting it out there probably makes them feel like they're fighting the good fight.
I'm not watching this or any other content that gets created by Disney. Because I am not the audience they're making this crap for. So there's no point. Disney shareholders must love it. There seems to be very little push back from them.

Agreed.
Surprised the shareholders haven't started selling off.
I would have done so just after Endgame.
Despite all of their movie bombs this last year, their theme parks are still making a ton of money.

Yea the spring break made so much money
Well maybe not in power per se but they were the right hand of those (the Chancellor, the Senate) who were in power. You don't slide into leadership roles in a military without having a significant/privileged place in society. They even had the prerequisite ivory towers.

And that's the key difference you are ignoring, to ignore that is to completely misconstrue their role.
Though I recognize Lucas visually conflated those lines putting them in a frikin CG office building, should have left them as wanderers, who only convene in a more natural place.
Things like puting the Jedi in an office, bothered me more than firkin JarJar everyone complained about.
Barely 30 minutes? I guess if you grew up watching TCW cartoons and are using that as your template but TCW was made primarily for children - and even it had episodes that exceeded 30 minutes.
But because Lucas conflated those lines in the PT it's now canon that the Jedi were players (or maybe pawns is a better word) within the corridors of power. Regardless, I don't think we should throw the show runner under the bus just yet based on her "in power" phrasing as it may just be a matter of semantics.
