Liking Star Wars in general should be met with immediate suspicion. Andor good. First movie good. I accept people really enjoying empire even if I think it's just okay. Anyone who cares about anything else maybe isn't awful but there's an over fifty percent chance they are. I accidentally made a reddit on the andor board and the reply made my fucking blood boil:
Precisely why writers SHOULD NEVER EVER EVER respect the fan base. Tie in merchandise shouldn't be canon. That's insane. Is this canon then?
Are the Dr Pepper cans with Sebulba on them part of the deep lore of Star Wars? Cause it seems fucking everything is fair game with this bullshit franchise.
The thing that annoys me the most about star wars' "deep lore" is that 99% of it is the most shallow and obvious shit imaginable. Greedo was a Rodian and a Bounty Hunter - so the Rodians are an entire alien species whose culture revolves around bounty hunting. Chewbacca was Han Solo's friend and first mate - so every wookie you meet until the end of time is attached to some non-wookie by means of a life debt (which we will retroactively apply to chewie's relationship to han as well). There was occasionally something interesting mixed in there, but almost all of it was sandblasted off in order to make the franchise as smooth around the edges as possible (a process that started with that fucking cgi cartoon long before the mouse bought the franchise).
You ever become so alienated you need to use an old rascist trope to explain the process of friendship and or trauma bonding?
