      If it’s a quality show, I’m down for it. It’s only an issue if it’s low quality. We could have stopped a while back and never got Andor, but I’m damn glad we got it.

      Hopefully Lando will be good as well.

      Never enough of lando. This is the one I was most excited for since they announced it. Andor is my favorite but lando is what I really want to see.

      Seriously wondering when people will get light saber fatigue.

      Marvel seems to get phased out by now, so I’m guessing Star Wars is like five years behind?

        Star Wars can also learn from Marvel’s mistakes. It can all be avoided. Besides, in my opinion, Star Wars shows have been higher quality than Marvel’s.

    Assuming Disney stays out of their way this has potential. We might finally get a second Star Wars show that’s actually good after Andor.

      If it gets popular at all then Kathleen Kennedy will want more control and ruin it. That’s basically the cycle for anything Star Wars.

          I’ve seen rumors, but nothing confirming. Her contract will be over next year if it doesn’t get extended again. I honestly think getting rid of her could do to Lucasfilm what firing Steve Ballmer did for Microsoft. Get rid of the legacy that is trying to force what they want the consumer to buy and instead bring in new talent that will make what the market actually wants.

      Atlanta is one of the slowest releasing shows I’ve ever seen, and it’s so simple. 4 seasons in 7 years, god damn.

      Idk what Glover spends all his time doing, he left community early because he was so busy but has pretty much only released Atlanta, Solo and one album since 2010.

    I always thought that a guy living in a perpetually flying city being called Lando was kind of funny.

    Plus, Lando sounds like a pilot Elf from Disenchantment.

    NGL i’m kind of bored of retreading the same period of the Star Wars universe - I’d really like to see something new.

      Yep, The Mandalorian showed they have a whole universe of characters they could use but they just keep recycling the same central cast/time period. Those stories were nice and even great at times but we can move on to something new
