I have many criticisms of tales of the jedi, but the main one is… why ? What’s the point of rehashing the comics and novels that much ? If that was to answer questions, people could look for the comics. Lots of these anecdotes felt redundant, things we could already easily deduct from previous media to me.

Also I’m not gonna lie I love the prequel era as much as the next guy but I’m tired 90%of the animated shows being set in it and recreating scenes of it. Feels like nostalgiabait more than a genuine exploration of the time period. I am also getting tired of lines being added for the sole purpose of getting people to point and shout like master like padawan !! Meaningless repetitions driving a point already made many times. The history of the Jedi spans so much more time than those 13 years we already have 3movies and hours of shows about, and harbours so much more diversity than the 6 members of the disaster lineage can ever exemplify, but it’s their stories that get told over and over the highest budget projects of Star Wars. Tell me a tale of high republic jedi, tell me about Luke’s student at his temple, tell me something long after the sequel trilogy, tell me the myths of the old republic. Why call it Tales of the Jedi as if it was about the Jedi as a whole if it’s gonna be tales of that one specific lineage

#dishing filoni a very stop making all your fictions so repetitive #the soundtrack did slap and some scenes hit but. aside from that #voice cast and clone model suck etc etc #not tagging totj cause i don’t want to add to it trending #the contrast with this week’s episode of Andor is startling. something with a message and nuance and perfect execution #vs filonis usual insensitivity #and stealing interesting concepts of the comics while executing it so poorly the point gets lost and the attempts at nuance fail #sam speaks #star wars #i watched it illegally and I advice you to do the same #tales of the Jedi felt more like prequel/tcw cutscenes than worthwhile stories #and with it airing at the same time as Andor it’s just even worse #all this hype and the fandom preferring it and racial insensitivity….. for unnecessary stories 2pretty shots and meaningless callbacks #I feel like this show treated me like I was stupid. as if repeating the three same lines in the same episode was gonna make me cry #as if I was incapable of coming up with explanation for dookus fall by myself. as if I needed to see it him delete kamino #as if they needed to straight up add the s7 o66 scene for me to understand that’s what the episode recontextualised #I digress. I’m disappointed and the good parts are not overweighting the mediocre and the fucked up racist context #people call Andor a pointless spin off when the way it’s done gives it purpose and teeth and nuance. #filoni has been making pointless prequel spin offs noone initially asked for and unnecessarily filling gaps since 2008 #I will give it that there were attempts to add nuance to Jedi identity. a lot of it fell flat tho #it’s so blatant filon just wants to make more and more prequels and that’s what drives what gets made #stoked for the acolyte series. finally something in a new time period
