I'm not reading the article. I'm just going to say how *****ded the writing was for the sequel series. If you have to make a comic or whatever 7 years AFTER a movie to explain a pivotal point... it's garbage. Cold, floating garbage.

Andor is a prime example of giving a talented writer and director a 2 sentence prompt and saying to make it in rogue one theme and then leaving them the eff alone. Surprise!! It was excellent.

Sequels were so bad

Ok. And how do you crew the biggest fleet ever assembled when you're other half is literally having to steal children to fill roles and your secret planet has absolutely no infrastructure for a large population.

Answer? Sequel trilogy was and is trash. They benched the great writers in LF and those from EU, and put in money grubbing bean counters. So the story went to crap despite having a great cast of actors, music, and cinematography.

Hollywood should have learned from this and GOT ending. You throw the story to the wind, people don't care about the other crap no matter how good it is.

No amount of comics and other material can salvage it. Comparing EU to the original and then the garbo sequel to these comics isn't apples to apples.

Ex) Palpatine knowing about an extra-galactic threat immune to most tech weapons and defenses before anyone else? WOOO, just added nuance to a guy portrayed as wanting a big gun for the sake of power. Now it's framed in a bigger story of how the Sith would deal with a big problem.

But no. Rose was a worthless and badly written character. Her sister was cool. No comic version of her, now an auditor????, figures out OH THAT'S HOW I'D BUILD A SECRET FLEET!!! HEEHEE.

Still garbage. Quit defending it

Yoooo did you even read the books? Author played KOTOR and read a few comics.

At least make a small mention the thought bomb was also Bane's way of eliminating a Jedi army AND any potential Sith from his new rule. Guy played the Sith like a fiddle.

And, um....0 mention of the SUN CRUSHER? That should be #1. Only takes 1 person to fly it/do it, and can implode stars and fly through capital ships bc the armor is indestructible. put it in a gas giant to get rid of it? Nah, someone force pulled it out and blew up Carida. They had to shoot it into a black hole to finally get rid of it bc too OP. That's next level.

Don't have an entire childhood to read all the legends books like me? An hour on Wookiepedia would have sufficed....
