Was this the one everyone thought was boring? Or was it The Acolyte? Or the most recent season of The Mandalorian?
I do like me some Star Wars, but it's feeling like we're being oversaturating us with shows.
8 episodes every six months is oversaturation?
The fact that there is a constant stream of star wars content is oversaturation in itself.
TV shows traditionally run from fall to spring with a short break for the holidays. They used to be 23 episodes. That's a third more content in total and running over at least twice as much time. I don't recall anyone thinking the regular TV schedule was oversaturating.
Regular TV schedule is fine if there is some sort of prolonged break afterwards.
My point is that while star wars content is generally enjoyable, less is definitely more and if they would instead produce an occasional movie or season, released every year or two, people would get a lot less fatigued. And it would give the time needed to produce actually compelling content instead of deeply mediocre b and c plots with a star wars coating.
But thats no good as a subscription selling point I suppose.
If by prolonged break you mean 3 month summer, that's less than the average of 4 months we get now.
Also as a subscriber, yes I want new things. I'm paying for new things. It doesn't need to be new Star Wars and Disney (in this case) has plenty of brands that they can offer me a wide variety of content, new content, every month (ish).
Now in terms of quality, you can produce multiple things. Mando/Ahsoka, that's Dave Filoni & Jon Favreau. Acolyte, that's Leslye Headland. Skeleton Crew, that's by Jon Watts & Christopher Ford. They're not putting all this work on one person. It's spread out. These people are given the time to produce good work.
To be clear I have plenty to criticize about the content we're getting. But I don't feel fatigue. I think we're getting the content people intended and I think we're getting it at a good pace.
Oh no regularly releasing shows on a consistent schedule it's terrible
Star wars Episode 4 ist 125 min long. One Episode of A Life Action Series is c.a. 40 min. They are basicly releasing 2 1/2 movies every 6 months.
