The problem is, they gave us Rogue One and Andor.
Star Wars almost used to be its own genre when it came to written dialogue. Most lines were very simple, straightforward, and sometimes cheesy. You had gems like “fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.” and some of the smarter characters had smarter lines, which sounded interesting because of good acting. But mostly it was just one-note, one-dimensional dialogue. “Join me.” “Never!” That sort of thing.
THEN THEY STARTED DOING THIS:
“I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or a light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!” - Luthen Rael in Andor.
The depth of the writing weirdly all of a sudden caught up to the depth of the story?? And then this long, meticulous, carefully-constructed show is released right before we’re back to simple, fast action and dialogue that goes no deeper than:
“For some, hardship. For others, a new beginning.”
“And for us?”
“Power.” - Baylan Skoll in Ahsoka
We’re back to “war bad, power bad, that’s why the bad guys are saying it.” How am I supposed to watch both of these types of shows and believe they’re in the same universe?!
WITH TRUST IN THE FORCE AND POPCORN.
