   @feld @Moon This wouldn't be a problem if they hired people that could write a compelling story. Especially when Star Wars already had an extended universe which is criminally underused for the crap they came up with for example.

     @sim @lnxw37b2 @feld the old extended universe had a bunch of crap but a bunch of gold too and they easily could have pillaged it years of good movie stories instead of the crap they invented.

     For some reason, they de-canonicalized most of the previous universe. I haven't watched all of their new stuff, but I honestly enjoyed the cartoon Star Wars Rebels. And I was pleasantly surprised to find The Mandalorian to be enjoyable.
     
     Prior to last year, I'd only seen the movies, so I can't compare the quality of the previous universe, but the two shows I watched are better than nearly all of the Star Wars movies.

     @lnxw37b2 @Moon @feld I don't understand their reasoning behind de-canonising the extended universe when they couldn't even replace it with something better in the main films. Or make good on the nostalgia baiting they were using to get us to watch them. I don't know where they were even going with the characters.

     They did bring in some characters from Chuck Wendig's books written a few years ago. Specifically Cobb Vanth

     @sim @Moon @feld @lnxw37b2 this is literally the reason btw. They had to hire the guy that wrote Thrawn as a "consultant" just so they could throw all of his ideas out anyway.

     @sim @feld @Moon @lnxw37b2 that's simple. If they used the extended canon they would have to actually pay the writers.

     @triodug @feld@bikshed.party @sim @lnxw37b2 @Moon I really liked the old "Fate of the Jedi Series" from the now non-canon "Legacy Universe"
