Nothing is ever allowed to be flawed, to eventually fulfil its potential.

Everything has to be everything to everyone right away or else it’s trash and gets piled on, contributing to its cancellation.

Book of Boba Fett, The Acolyte, Kenobi, even The Sequel Era to a certain extent.

And I’m not saying those things didn’t have obvious flaws or that there aren’t other issues with how Star Wars is being handled as a property. There are many. But nobody ever seems to acknowledge that those shows might have been part of a wider plan that consequently gets abandoned.

But the paralysis we’re experiencing where nothing ever gets to the screen and there doesn’t seem to be a cohesive plan for Star Wars is because of the fans. If you demand someone changes direction every time you see something you dislike, we’re never going to get anywhere.

I’m assuming this is just me, but I have sensory issues with certain sounds, and for some reason the sound they use for the drink section of the pod fills me a terrible sensory disgust and rage, and every time I listen to the pod I forget it’s coming and get the ick again.

Part of the art of adaptation is putting your own style and choices on it, and obviously respect and replication of the material comes into that as well. But an adaptation isn’t a museum exhibit. It’s another artist engaging with a work and interpreting it through their own sensibilities, medium and time.

Once you’ve seen it, you can dislike the choices they’ve made. You can think they’ve misunderstood Lewis, or that certain changes weaken what made the original special. Those may turn out to be perfectly legitimate criticisms.

But the mere fact that something is different from the book isn’t, in itself, evidence that it’s disrespectful to the book.

I’m not sure why, but having completed it now I really don’t feel an urge to replay it, which is unusual as I’ve replayed 7 and 8 many times.

After years of relentless hate, I'm suddenly seeing loads of positivity about them.

I’m seeing ads for it constantly and I’m wondering if anyone actually enjoys playing it.

Anything can be improved with a long-running tv series made years after the fact which is deliberately trying to rehabilitate the movies they’re set between.

When talking about the prequels and how they stand up as movies, the only things that are relevant are the movies themselves.
