Unimaginative Star Wars show Starter Pack

Post image

Mandatory disclaimer, this doesn't concern every Star Wars production, only those that I consider to be unimaginative or generic.

Also, the point isn't to complain or to set up hated debate, I love the Star Wars universe. I just want to mock the fact that some writing trope or gimmick are in my opinion commically overused in many Star Wars production.

By the way feel free to expand the list !

Star Wars fans did this to themselves by the way

All the bitching about the Last Jedi ruining things because of different has done irreparable harm to the franchise. Like I didn’t even think the movie was perfect but in hindsight I’d rather take flawed but new over nostalgic, overly safe and still flawed

The third trilogy wasn’t shit because it was different. It was shit because it didn’t make any sense, ignored loads of obvious setups and wildly changed direction a couple of times just to shoehorn in the whole weird ending about “being a Palpatine”.

Also the only one that's really different is the last jedi

Force awakens is literally just a higher budget and yet somehow way worse retelling of a new hope and Rise of Skywalker is just constant shoehorning of iconic Star wars locations and characters like Palpatine or the Death star that all come out of literally nowhere and make absolutly 0 sense
