[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 8992118, member: 7035894"] I am [I]not[/I]. This franchise needs to start coming up with more fresh ideas. [I]Andor[/I] works because it actively avoids [I]Star Wars[/I] cliches and is instead real science fiction - what would it be like if the Empire was an actual thing rather than just a bunch of stock villains? How does an attempt to use technology to create a perfectly ordered society actually manifest? Why do some people with understandable, sometimes even positive motivations wind up do horrible things? Why do other people, sometimes with lousy motivations, wind up doing great things? How does "the tighter you clench your fist, the more systems slip through your fingers" actually manifest (it turns out, not without a lot of effort and violence). And I was so happy that Easter eggs were kept to a minimum, and only there in service of the story. The Emperor is just a cartoon supervillain, cackle and all. He was fine in the first trilogy where Lucas was working with archetypes, but at this point I need something more. [/QUOTE]
