Star Wars - Is it a mess? (lemmy.ml)

Does anyone else think Star Wars is a bit muddled? This may be a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I haven't delved into much of it outside the OG 4-6, 1-3, Mandalorian, and a couple games. It just seems that there is sooo much out there. Are they cohesive?

Star wars is in a very bad place. The controversial release of TLJ and the flip of Solo, caused a bit of concern. After the release of ROS, that became panic and Disney slammed the brakes on movies. They also distanced anything new from their trilogy. The pivot to streaming releases was an attempt to repair the franchise with. Outside Mandalorian, the series were intended to be movies, and most of them were a bad 90 minute movie stretched to a bad 4 hour show.

Some of the shows are cohesive, but there's several groups. Bad batch follows the clone wars animated series. Rebels leads into Ashoka. Andor leads to Rogue One. Boba Fett is a partial season of Mandalorian, which is the closest thing to the Disney trilogy. Obi wan and Acolyte should be forgotten.
