I grew up watching Star Wars a few years before the prequels came out.
I loved it! I was a big Star Wars fan. I honestly almost completely lost interest in it after I became an even bigger Trek fan.
I’ve been playing Lego Star Wars and it’s been fun, but it made me realize that the stories all seem surface deep to me.
I get the movies from the 70s were not going to deep dive in Luke’s training, but in each film it’s just like, “And… you’re a Jedi master now.”
There are other races and we do not get to really learn much about them. I guess the Mandalorian filled that out some, but I couldn’t get into that show.
I guess this is more of a rant about how Star Wars feels like and empty shell of a series than something with more substance.
I really wish, that there was something that went deeper.
I have not watched all the Disney+ shows yet, but I might start Ahsoka or Andor tonight. I watched Obi Wan and liked it, I tried Mando 2 times and did not like it one bit.
I loved the Shadows of the Empire book.
The Palpatine origin books were pretty great
I realized that the “sky walker 9 movies was just palpatine the whole time.
I found a site somewhere that listed a large number of the star wars books in chronological order and started working my way forward from pre old republic. I took a break somewhere pretty soon after Darth Plagueis and then got side tracked and didn’t pick it back up. Most of the ones I read were pretty fun.
