I should rewatch it sometime soon. I'm looking forward to season 2. Then I plan to do an Andor + Rogue One marathon.I've been talking a lot about this in the Acolyte thread. I really am not happy with how the canon portrayal of the Jedi has made them so fundamentally wrong ... it's almost like they're the bad guys now and not the Sith, which is just nuts. And of course Disney didn't allow Luke to create a new Jedi Order. Instead they just had him attempt (and fail) to recreate the fundamentally wrong old one. Same with Leia and the New Republic.I think Star Trek (including Discovery, which I know not everyone likes) does a much better job of providing flawed characters working for flawed organizations that nevertheless still aspire to be better people building a better future. As much as I love Star Wars, I feel like under Disney's stewardship, it has lost what it was originally all about - hope. Star Trek, however, still has that in spades, and that's really what I need right now: hope for a brighter future in which the better angels of our nature come out to play. Not the bleak "everyone and everything is flawed and corrupt and doomed to failure" that has been Star Wars for some time now ...So to answer [USER=6716779]@Zardnaar[/USER]'s OP: What I want to see is more Sith who are clearly evil and bad and, no matter how seductive they might seem to the protagonists, the audience can still plainly see that they are the wrong choice. That they don't represent yang to the Jedi's ying or whatever but that they are, as George Lucas once said, like a cancer.</blockquote>
