It's just typical Disney. Take a popular franchise, and then milk it for everything its worth. To Disney it's not "bad" if it's bringing in more money than it cost to make it. Sure, some of it maybe didn't make as much money as they would have liked, but I don't believe Disney has actually lost money on any of it (ignoring the Hollywood accounting tricks). So expect Disney to just keep cranking Stars Wars stuff out until everyone is thoroughly bored with it.

Rogue one and andor were amazing. Which tells me, Star wars can be great if they hire passionate directors/writers and stay the hell out of their way
Lol, nobody got out of the way of the Rogue one director. A large portion of that movie was reshot and rewritten after the director was all but fired.
And despite its troubles, I also enjoyed Solo on a second watch.
But even The Mandalorian isn't perfect. Some episodes were better than others. It was fine for a TV show. Same with Ahsoka. It'll be interesting to see what they do with a bigger budget when the movie comes out.
Solo would have been a success if they didn't have to fire the directing duo and reshoot half the movie. It hugely inflated the cost of that film which made it a commercial failure in their eyes.
I still watch Solo with my annual star wars watchthrough. Is it a great film? No. But it's fun, and it's light, and if doing a timeline watchthrough it works well. Ep 3 just ends, you're feeling down because of the empire, but Solo brings you back up - right before the very very sad Rogue One
Now I want to watch Andor
Again? You mean again, right?
I have never watched it
It's a good show. Not amazing like some people say, but it's something you will probably enjoy.
I never thought about it again after finishing it though.
I just watched Andor. I enjoyed it more than the Mandalorian, and much more than the Obi Wan Kenobi series (so far).
They better mean again
Don't trust the hype it's not that good.
I still think mandalorian s1 is the only genuinely great star wars thing coming out of Disney.
I really don't know why people like Andor either. It seemed completely pointless and dull. Mandalorian was worth watching, though, tough it did get worse with time.
I dislike most Star Wars media and thoroughly enjoyed Andor. Andor is very much unlike most other Star Wars media and that's probably why a lot of Star Wars' core audience disliked it. To each their own.
It seemed completely pointless and dull.
I get the opposite impression. To me Andor is one of the few pieces of media produced within the Star Wars' IP to actually have a point at all instead of just being a series of flashy action scenes and nostalgia bait.
Rogue One is second only to Empire and I will die on that hill.
God forgive me but I might like Rogue One better than Empire. Is that a heresy?!
I love Rogue One, but only because of the third act, and the music. By the Force, it is a slow first two acts.
I'll take "no shit, Sherlock" for 500, Alex.
The worst part is that the article says that Wilson took the sequel trilogy on a sudden left turn, but then blames Abrams for not playing nice when he tried to clean up the mess. That's like blaming the EMTs for a car accident.
