Just humor me, hear... Maybe it's not the quantity. Maybe it's the quality.
EDIT: I'm 37 years old. I've been watching star wars since I was old enough to form memories. The Mandalorian is passable and entertaining. I've ignored the animated series aside from the original Clone Wars mini series, much to the chagrin of the elitists. I felt the most recent film trilogy was awful. I'd grown tired of star wars... Until I watched Andor. God, it was amazing and it's just the type of story Star Wars needs to be modernized. Star Wars doesn't need less.. it needs more stories about the darkness surrounding idealism and revolution. Extreme times are cruel on all sides and black and white good vs evil doesn't really exist in modern storytelling, anymore. We're in the post-modern era of storytelling and Disney has entrenched itself in modernism.

I'd take as many seasons as I can get if the 3 part arcs stay this solid.

I haven't played it yet so can't comment but it seems like needlessly edgy and pseudo-deep from my outside view....which I get why a bunch of teens would think it's a masterpiece. I'll have to wait till I play it to weigh in.

And what confuses me even more, is that one of the most beloved modern Star Wars adaptations is KOTOR.

Works fine on Plex. Just set up season passes with Sonarr and have the files downloaded to your computer.

I get it as a Prime addon. Amazon's UI is somehow better and their streaming experience has always been pretty good.

I have apple TV. It's chatGPT compared to this thing.
For real though. Shudder has the best of every UI

I honestly wonder if streaming will even still exist in 10 years. It seems like all of these companies are struggling to make it work.

My roommates been watching it so I’ve catched bits and pieces and joined her for some. Thought it was very funny when the speedy guy picked the strongest guy thinking he could outrun him with the “be the last one holding onto the ball” game only for the strong dude to lay on the ball for almost three minutes lol

I only use it for soccer and it’s so annoying that I usually have to work semi-hard to get to the games. Additionally, it’s insane to me that there is still no PS5 app.

I think that's partly the case but at the same time hamstringing the plot into this overarching narrative has been the main issue I've had with Phase 5. You have to stop the drama to go and introduce this new hero and give them an origin or talk about it.
It's just lame because it undermines the new character and the media they are in.
They did that before but we lived to see it come to fruition in later phases.
Imo, just introing another Thanos wouldn't keep people watching...been there done that.
If Kang is bigger than just Quantumania then maybe they can pull it off but Kang is a deep cut villain mostly as a bit in the animated media.

I mean I cancelled my Disney+ subscription because there hasn’t been new Marvel content since the Guardians Christmas Special and we still don’t have a date for Secret Invasion. Not worth paying $11 a month to occasionally watch an episode of The Simpsons or an old Marvel cartoon.

They can still space content to be regularly available.
The problem is that there were periods that 2-3 shows were going at a time from both.
And 2 of the 3 were bad.

Clone Wars writing was like 60% terrible so idk how it can be that much worse.

Which sucks because half their problem is the built relationship fans have with the core saga.
If they moved on past it in the timeline the ability to undermine desire would be a lot less.

I'm hoping Andor gets renewed and maintained as a passion project because it's the only prestige thing to come out of Star Wars since the Disney acquisition. It's the only meaningful fuckin thing come out of Star Wars since TLJ....only less controversial because it doesn't involve the franchises favorite Marty Stu.

I thought we got like....2 good ones and 1 meh one out of this phase.
I just think standards are higher because that's about my opinion of every phase but like...3 and 4.

I trust James Gunn on Guardians....the problem is I just don't trust Marvel as a machine to do much of anything with their movies except cut half of it out to plug a new character.
What happened to solo movies?
All these new heroes are getting these forced origin stories in the middle of a plot that has nothing to do with them...which undermines their character and origin AND the movie they are in.

I've had poor experiences on the Fire stick app, but not nearly as bad as you describe. It's definitely the worst one I use, but I think Prime is worse. It baffles me that Netflix was so functional 12 years ago and nobody has yet to meet that in terms of UI.
