    “Universe shaking” is what fits more to the whole disastrous influence and hamfisted policy Kennedy and crew had since episode 7. It just got worse and worse after that, creativity and quality was bled out because certain concepts had to be forcibly injected in the product. And it is clear they can’t leave things alone as they are, everything has to change from the success it was.

    Both the IP and the fanbase were shaken violently by a rabid dog like a small bunny it preyed on.

      I’m not very Star Wars litterate and I quite enjoyed the Ahsoka series.

      Could you explain the concepts you mentioned in your post so that I get what is wrong with this series ?

        Ashoka was okay, but to be honest, the light saber battle scenes felt like the camera was WAY to close.

        I couldn’t appreciate the battle choreography because the camera was pointed at whatever facial reaction they made every time their lightsaber got stuck.

        Which also gives the impression you are watching a light saber fight from a keyhole.

        The night sister battle was much better because of the wider camera angle.

        Writing was fine, characters were fine, Thrawn was rushed out a little fast, most of my family didn’t know who he was and it didn’t feel like they had time to process him before he was yanked out of the story again.

      What are these ‘certain concepts’ ? I was able to enjoy Andor even though you could call it '“less star wars-ey”. It felt like it had an intersting story to tell and not just trying to fanservice.
