you know what screw it i'm gonna say it:

every time i come across a post claiming that andor is the only good live action star wars content we've gotten since 2005 it makes me want to fight someone. i'm ready to start throwing box sets of the hobbit lotr and the silm at people. i am going to Scream

#gonna rant in the tags #turning off the reblogs bc i hate confrontation #'all the other series have been hollow corporate--'#WHAT EXACTLY ABT OBI-WAN KENOBI FELT HOLLOW TO YOU #the narrative about hope and healing and letting go and forgiveness and grief and learning to live again????#'there's no jedi and no magic so there are no cop-outs'#star wars is science fantasy!!!#there has always been magic and it's not some deus ex machina that ruins the plot!!!!#it's woven into the very fabric of their universe!!!!#complaining about cameo-driven plots in the mandalorian makes no sense to me!!!!#it's called tying it into the larger plot/universe!!!! bc it's literally abt a side character!!!!#'it's the only overtly political content we've gotten--'#MEDIA DOES NOT HAVE TO BE INHERENTLY POLITICAL IN ORDER TO BE VALUABLE #star wars has always been about hope and love and family with a side helping of revolution #but some of y'all are acting like it was always the main course #the biggest problem being that i actually LIKE andor #but good and important do not mean perfect #they aren't exactly doing great with their female characters #most notably dedra in the finale #'i should be saying thank you'????#girl should be hitting him over the head with the nearest heavy object and getting back to her base #i feel like there's a lot of trivialization of fantasy of a genre and escapism in general woven into this as well #don't make me quote jirt at you #every time i see one of those posts i'm like #have you maybe considered that you don't like star wars all that much actually #you just like what a specific part of the fandom has chosen to interpret from it #and they aren't necessarily wrong #they're just focusing on a relatively small selection of the story and themes #anyway i'm ready to throw hands #tumblr better not ruin this show for me
