    So what you want is like, Battlestar Galactica if they maintained the old 70's sets and charms lol

    Or at least until the new show shat the bed with the plot

    Also that just plays into my favourite pet theory on Star Wars, which is that it gets more interesting the fewer Jedi are actually involved with the plot

      Basically yeah.

      My theory on great Star Wars media is this: take a "Genre" plot, add a sci-fi coat of paint, and give it just a little bit of mysticism. The OT is a hero's journey with some cool force bits. The Mandalorian is a western with the cool Mandalorian culture/religion. The good episodes of Star Wars Visions are just Shounen Anime and/or Samurai movies with the force, and the same could be said of the good plotlines from The Clone Wars.

      The prequels and sequels all fall apart because despite the billions of dollars dumped into their special effects, bad writing is bad writing. Seriously every single one of those movies feels like a first draft, I have no idea how they kept making this mistake over and over again after Episode I George Lucas should have had his typewriter taken away from him and Disney should have found somebody to write the sequels that wasn't involved with Batman v Superman.

      fuck yes. thats what made star wars galaxies so fun to play before they made it too easy to be a jedi. its much better when a force user showing up somewhere borders on coming across an eldritch horror or some shit

      One of my favorite pieces of star wars anything is the one where a zombie outbreak happens aboard an imperial prison ship. It was gripping, violent and there wasn't a single jedi around to nerd it up. Also zombie wookies
