Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

  • Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
  • Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
  • Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

Acolyte trailer certainly looks repetitive/derivative.

Acolyte trailer certainly looks repetitive/derivative.

Still trying to keep an open mind to it, but from the trailers it does have a feel of being written by people who don't get Star Wars.

I'm hoping it's more of them just trying to grow Star Wars in a certain new direction. Hopefully a direction that fits the Star Wars universe.

That's a very polite way of saying it looks like an extremely expensive pile of hot dog shit, and I agree with that sentiment.
