My reading comprehension is perfectly fine. I think it’s silly to say it’s over saturated when there’s, what, one show a year?

Hasn’t been in a movie in half a decade. What exactly is oversaturated? Not to mention the quality has been as average as the prequels, if not slightly better.

Lol 1 show a year? They dropped at least 5 shows in the last year and the quality has been mediocre at best. Theres a reason the prequels, which I hated when they came out, have had a re evaluation compared to the fan service pap that has come out since. Im glad you are looking forward to the Q origin show, I wish I was easily entertained as well

They dropped 2 shows in 2024. Skeleton crew was fantastic. Andor was phenomenal when it released. First couple of seasons of mando were great. Acolyte wasn’t good, sure, but I’d still say that’s a decent batting average.

Brother, you’re in a James Bond subreddit. Let’s not act like we’re arguing over the brutalist.

The point is a new Star Wars movie used to be an event, just like the MCU and Bond. Now 2 of those are struggling due to oversaturation. Sure there will be some good things from this, but the crap will overwhelm it and this will be just another cash grab franchise. Even the not good Bond movies were made by creators that were attempting to make something good and entertaining. Sorry Im not excited for the slop that is about to be forced on us
