    He became irrelevant the moment he sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney, and it’s all been downhill from there (both for him and the franchise). Fuck him.

      The franchise already went downhill with him still in charge, Disney just finished the Job.

        Could be because I’m old then. The last Star Wars movie I enjoyed was episode 3 (all first 6 episodes are great, in my opinion), every movie after that has so much politically driven bullshit and so little ro do with the original lore that the last movie I watched was “The last Jedi”. When I watched “The force awakens” I knew it was already getting ridiculously fucked, but still gave “The Last Jedi” a chance, only to end up regretting it. Haven’t watched any of the movies since. I keep all 6 original movies in my Jellyfin server and binge them about once a year or so.

          While I agree that Disney Star Wars makes the prequels look good, they certainly weren’t great.

          I keep all 6 original movies in my Jellyfin server and binge them about once a year or so.

          I keep every singe Star Wars movie (even multiple edition for the OT) and TV show on my plex and haven’t watched any off it since the Mandalorian S3 (which was quite bad).

            I only watched the first season of the Mandalorian. I think it was a massive waste of my time that would have been better spent watching more anime, lol.

      Lol I love how tone death Disney is with SW series tho. Andor is a anticapitalist and antifa story, told through the lens of some kid who was kidnapped when the Empire was ravaging his homeworld. I think the best storyline is when Cassian is wrongfully imprisoned and escapes within a week while stirring up revolts and enlightening prisoners.
