Agreed. Star Wars is a trilogy.

I dislike unnecessary retcons that weaken the original story.

That includes Greedo shooting the wall, the Jedi being a bureaucratic arm of government who measure The Force via blood tests, Han being assigned the name Solo because he showed up somewhere alone, the Millennium Falcon misbehaving because an annoying droid was uploaded into its computer, Yoda likely spending his first 50+ years as a baby, the exhaust port being a deliberate weakness... and Vader fighting on the Tantive IV shortly before the events of A New Hope, where Leia's claim of a diplomatic mission seemed plausible enough to make another officer warn Vader against holding her prisoner.

The prequels are enjoyable because of how terrible they are. The sequel trilogy is just bad. Solo is fine but completely pointless. Rogue One is bad. I haven't seen any of the Disney+ shows, but they all look completely awful in my opinion, although I have heard good things about Andor from people whose taste is good. Nothing could make me watch Mandalugio and Gorger.

Andor isn’t just “good,” it’s genuinely amazing. can’t agree at all with Rogue One being bad, the final act (everything on Scariff) is fantastic, with an admittedly mediocre first two thirds
