And Star Wars. Complete train wreck. Disney just has so much money to burn from live action remakes they can limp along.

Andor was really good and only finished in 2025.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor was also highly enjoyable.

The big films have been sad except for Rogue One.

But there is some Star Wars stuff that is out there and is really good.

Yes, I agree on Andor. But that was a quiet side-project done by good people, and not the main focus of Kathleen Kennedy and her recruits. Both it and Rogue One were made by Tony Gilroy.

Main line Star Wars is a train wreck, unfortunately. I was one of the apparently few people who was looking forward to something new, even deconstructive, in the sequel trilogy. I'm so sick of Palpatine vs. Skywalker chosen bloodline nonsense you can't even imagine, and the last thing I want is to have my nostalgia pandered to.

The ancillary stuff is a lot better however. I hear good things about Star Wars Visions but I haven't seen it.
