The wider internet is starting to wake up to how bullshit and sexist the term Mary Sue is now at least.

I do know that RJ takes a long ass time to write a script.
So he might have given them a timeframe when he could deliver a overarching narrative for his trilogy.

I'm down for whatever after IX honestly. Glad they're taking their time with it as well. Exciting to think that these next films could be very different as well. With the main saga, it's always had a certain tone to it, even RO and Solo had a similar Flash Gordon esque tone to it. Would be interesting if there was a departure from that sorta feel with RJ's and D&D's films.
Cassian show to feature K2SO sprawled on the hood of Cassian's speeder confirmed.
I am just excited for more Star Wars.
I just plain love Star Wars. And no amount of bitter fanboys will change that excitement I feel for new films.

Arya is a Mary Sue? I thought the whole argument was based around female characters that didn't "earn" their skill? Arya spends like most of the whole series training. Soooo...?
It has become a term used by guys who are mad when women characters are allowed to do something cool instead of a male character who "deserves" it.
Sometimes I forget the Cassian Andor prequel is a thing. I loved Rogue One but I feel like this will meet a similar fate as Solo because, even if it's decent, no one asked for a Cassian origin story.
Solo had Lando too, played by Donald Glover even, but it wasn't enough to carry the film.
But this Cassian prequel is a TV series at least, so it might be better received than a theatrical film.

The showrunner of The Americans is doing Cassian Andor, and Americans is one of the best spy shows ever. I have complete faith.
One of the showrunners I think. The Americans had multiple showrunners.
I'm banking on it being more of a pure spy shenanigans show. Y'all liked when they dressed up as the bad guys in 60% of the movies? Well have I got a show for you.
I've mentioned this before, but I firmly believe that for a majority of people Star Wars = Lightsabers. I'm very wary of going all in on a Star Wars future that doesn't include at least some lightsabers. Maybe that's my own bias, but this idea that expanding the universe without some sort of Force elements is a winning one is an idea I'm not convince of yet.
If no lightsabers, give me lots of space battles at least.

I do wonder what Star Wars looks like ten years from now or how popular it is. Kids now-a-days are all about the MCU and Star Wars is way more popular with adults than it is with children.
One of the really amazing things about the MCU is that it allows them to not just do different genres for each film, but they can be completely different from each other in terms of what's on screen. You can have something like Winter Soldier that's somewhat grounded and then have a raccoon and talking tree out in space and then have a movie about alternate realities and literal wizards and then have a movie about god vikings. It's like World of Warcraft where literally everything is smashed together.
Star Wars can't really go that insane because then it doesn't "feel" like Star Wars.
It'll be a challenge for LucasFilm to figure out how to implement new stories that can make Star Wars feel 100% fresh but also feel like Star Wars.
Because he's Mexican?mfw I'm the guy in the thread who didn't care about Andor
Andor was fine, I liked him but it's not like I thought he was a great character, but I think that can be said for most of Rogue One's cast. They were fine.
It's honestly a weird choice for him to be the second lead for their Disney+ shows. Like, if it had been a rumor before it got revealed, I would've thought for sure it was bullshit.

I think there's something to be said about the diversity of power fantasy now. For (male) children, mythological power fantasy is an important vector for popularity. In the 70's, SW really resonated because there weren't that quality of mythological power fantasies on big screen. But now we live in the golden age. Kids can pick the hero of their choice. The same goes for teens and adults.
Jedis are a form of superhero, and kind of the only superhero that exists in the SW universe. Focusing on soldiers and spies is cool, but the SW future needs superheroes to compete on a mass scale, imo.
Baze & Chirrut show, please! They were the most interesting Rogue One members, hands down.
