While I have little personal affection for the sequels or the Disney canon generally, I make an effort to avoid spiraling into negativity.

If Star Wars has something good come out under its Disney control, then so be it. If it’s something bad, then I think the healthiest response is not to engage it obsessively.

There is always the old EU. Sure it was officially de-canonized by the current legal owners, but they can’t unwrite Heir To The Empire. The old EU had lots of good to keep somebody busy for a long time.

Circling back to Andor, I find healthy discussion and criticism to be a good thing (and encourage it here), but Mike in the video barely touched Andor. He seemed too busy venting what he wanted to stop and engage with what he got. Despite enjoying it, he had little to actually say about it.

I'm glad someone else is saying this. I find the constant toxicity surrounding Disney era Star Wars to be much more tiring than the actual Disney movies and shows - and that's with Rise of the Skywalker being quite possibly my least favourite Star Wars thing ever.
