It reminds me of the Star Wars content thats come out recently - before there was the Original Trilogy which we all watched many times and the lines became iconic. Since then it's all become a mismash and blur of mediocrity due to over-exposure.

(except The Mandalorian, and I can't believe I'm using the word "content" :/)

edit: Totally forgot about Andor & Rogue One sorry, great film and two seasons of top-notch storytelling.

Rogue One was very good, to the point that I consider it on equal standing to the original trilogy and prequels

It's a blur of mediocrity due to its mediocrity, not its overexposure

To each their own, but I think Andor is, by far, the best post-ROTJ output.

Andor is fantastic. The good content still stands out. Mediocre content will have to compete with AI slop at an increasing rate.

That is something that annoys me with fandoms

You could ask "how many more movies should we make?" and the answer would be "there is no limit, I always want more"

"I like this thing therefore more of it is obviously better"

I think it takes maturity to say "I like this thing and I don't want more of it."

Mandalorian started strong, with cool spaghetti Western vibes, and then ended up devolving into mediocrity too. In my opinion.

Haven't watched Andor yet.
