I cannot believe you people huffing copium here. Star Wars has fallen so far in quality that people pining for a fucking whiff of nostalgaia will rationalize themselves into watching something that is 99.9% sure to be terrible because it is going to be better than Obi-Wan. I would say that is a low hurdle but that would be giving Obi-Wan too much credit.
Everything Star Wars has been shit since the the opening scene of Phantom Menace.

I have the opposite problem, anything with the Star Wars name has to work extra hard to get me even remotely interested.

Same with me. I used to be a super fan and read almost the entire Expanded Universe. I had opening day tickets to Phantom Menace as a senior in high school and I was fucking pumped for it. I left that theater feeling sick to my stomach. I have hated every Star Wars movie and show outside of the first few episodes of the Mandalorian because they have all failed to live up to the standards of the original trilogy.

Except for large chunks of the first two seasons of The Mandalorian and Andor, you mean.
(Jedi isn't that great either, to be honest.)

How are these things opposite?
I feel like you don't even bother to read posts.

I actually enjoyed the opening scenes in Phantom Menace. It went to shit very quickly when the Jedi went down to Naboo.

some people refuse to admit their favorite franchise is complete trash now, run by people who hate the IP and most of all, they hate you.
you wont lose your nerd card if you say Star Wars is no bueno these days. its going to stay bad til Kathleen Kennedy exits the company and all her DEI disciples exit with her. is that going to ever happen? probably not, but until a miracle happens, Star Wars is trash.

For the people actually planning on watching this, why? For real, I'm curious. Besides the first half of the first season of Mando, what gives you the confidence that they will do Star Wars right this time?

Mando even 3 was good. Varying levels for sure season 2 was highpoint. But yes asohka and obi Wan are fuck trash. Bad batch is OK.
Andor is God tier

See, this feels like cope about new Star Wars. Was Andor actually good, or was it just the best of a bunch of totally worthless trash that they told you was Star Wars? If it was really good Star Wars, then why hasn't it become massively popular? Did they do too much damage with the dumbass trilogy so too many former Star Wars lifers like me refuse to take part now regardless of the relative hype?

Nah it was actually good. They created new lore which was on point, had stellar acting performances, filmed in real world locations and had a story which finally showed the Empire as an actual terrifying force instead of a band of useless fucks.
The filthy underbelly of Star Wars has always been a prime target for good stories but it takes risks and a vision to pull em off.

Andor was good for a total of about an episode and a half's time over its run. It was boring as fuck the entire rest of the season. The Imperials were actually the most interesting part of the show. Or did everyone forget three episodes of droid making prison? It wasn't woke and did not shit on the cannon, which I guess is cause for high praise these days. But holy shit was that show like watching paint dry.
Until they somehow manage to purge the wokesters, this entire IP is irrevocably fucked.

I was OK with the gungans. I knew the formula he'd used for every film thus far. Gotta have something cute for the kids and he'd been ramping it up every film. They lost me at the fucking pod race.
Wait, andor was actually filmed on Ferrix, Kenari, Coruscant, etc? Holy fuck how does disney have that kinda budget?

Did you miss the payoff of those episodes with the very last scene of the finale?
You're making a convincing early run for this year's annual inaugural
