Wow, George Lucas bashing is back in vogue. Who would have seen that coming?
Blah, blah, blah...
Probably same Journalist that praised Andor for being Peak Star Wars, but which was to me Glacial and utterly boring.
Where Ahsoka has me literally on the edge of my seat sometimes and is PEAK Disney Star Wars to me.

The author's a little too in love with his own snark, but his conclusions are spot-on.
That would be literally every journalist.
I enjoyed both. Andor is a slow drama, Ahsoka (and Mando) are action-adventure
One of the things I enjoy most about Star Wars in general, and modern Star Wars in particular, is how varied it is in tone and content.
I've very much enjoyed how pulpy and fun Mando & BoBF have been, digging right into the Flash Gordon meets John Ford & Akira Kurosawa of it all. I loved Andor for everything it did with the serious tone, plotting, intense focus on character & themes, and the overall very grounded approach. Right now I'm enjoying Ahsoka's more nuanced, kind of middle-ground approach with the focus squarely on the core Jedi philosophies, the Campbellian mythic themes, and a healthy dose of Samurai pulp.
I look forward to some noir style intrigue and a brand new setting from 'The Acolyte', and some classic 80's Amblin kid's adventure storytelling from 'Skeleton Crew'.
Call me crazy, but I prefer to define my fandom by the things I like about it.

I enjoy all that has been put forward in Star Wars in some capacity, even the things I don't like.
The PT gave rise to some amazing tech and ship designs, as well as having Ewan McGregor rock it as Obi-Wan.
The ST gave some of my favorite characters in Star Wars period.
Clone Wars gave a lot of humanity to the clones.
Andor did a lot more to expand upon the politics of the galaxy.
Book of Boba Fett humanized Fett in a way that I found deeply refreshing.
Mandalorian made Mandalorians not just insufferable one note warriors. Gave them depth. Plus Grogu.
Each piece has a lot of fun, and I see the influence of Star Wars' influences all over it. I might not like it all, and Ahsoka is a bit too derivative for my tastes but I'll judge it more when the story is done.
Nah.
I'm surprised he's not at the A.V. Club.
New to the internet?
'Cause I've seen this with Star Wars fans since the Ewok movies, and even worse with Trek fan friends.
3d printed fan replicas coming in 3...2...1...
That's awesome! I already wanted that prop but now I want it even more!The map ball seems to be based off a real puzzle ball
Give Etsy & TheRPF about a week, and you can probably get a conversion kit . . . Though if LFL have any sense they'll just licence that product and run off a cheap replica run for themselves before all the Ahsoka cosplayers make their own.
