Part of the reason I never rly returned to try the game again was the queues, it was just constant queues in EU for hours...

You may have seen this already, but I can't stop laughing at it.

Well...
Just finished the Kenobi show and...
What complete garbage lol.

I am sure the fanservice will get to a lot of people but a couple of fanservice scene doesn't make a whole show good.

Takes quite awhile to be able to post again, after not logging in for the 14-days. Logged in to finish the event last minute, as per the usual.

I used to like Star Wars quite a bit. I grew up with the prequels. The nostalgia bait is probably the only reason I'd watch that show. Even SW games were pretty good back then. It's a disappointing what has been done with the SW name. I have no faith in anything 'Star Wars' being good anymore.

I enjoyed Mandalorian a lot and Boba Fett when it became a platform for the Mandalorian. lol That show helped to alleviate the sting I felt after watching Rise of Skywalker. I didn't hate the Obi Wan series, but it certainly fell flat in more than a few ways. I've seen better, but I've seen worse. The main thing I liked about it was that they opened the door and left it wide open for Cal Kestis from Jedi: Fallen Order to make an appearance some day. I really hope that becomes a reality, and only if Cameron Monaghan is the actor. Fallen Order and the upcoming sequel are probably the most enjoyment I've had (and that I'm going to have) with anything Star Wars related in years.

Tbh I got kinda bored of Mandalorian very quickly, it was alright the first episodes but got repetitive.
I kinda feel like these shows get carried entirely by being Star Wars, if they weren't then I don't think anyone would care about them at all.

Mandalorian had potential but it really got bogged down by '' baby Yoda '' imo and a bunch of fanservice from cartoons that I really didn't care at all about.
I wish it had just focused on a Mandalorian bounty hunter just being out well, bounty hunting.

I used to be a massive Star Wars fan as a kid, came home from school every single day and watched the original trilogy, read a lot of the novels and played all of the old games etc got really into the lore and all that.
But I kinda feel like none of it is actually new anymore, it's just rehashing of the same stuff.
The Old Republic era was interesting because it was different, the movie era has just been done to death and yeah Vader is cool but it just feels like Vader for the sake of Vader solely for the sake of fanservice which is fine I guess but I personally get really exhausted by it.

Stuff like the Darth Bane novels come to mind too, that stuff was interesting and different to me.
Funnily enough when bringing in old stuff actually would be cool and matter imo they just don't and they retcon it.
Mara Jade is probably the most baffling case of this to me, especially with Disney so desperately wanting to have their big female protagonist they can brag about.
Mara Jade is awesome and I was actually expecting her in the new trilogy and was really disappointed when she wasn't there, they were handed her on a silver platter but just erased her from the canon...

There were scenes in the Obi Wan show that kinda got to me on a nostalgia level, but at the same time it only lasts for a moment and then I am just meh about it again.
The whole nostalgia thing just doesn't work for me and it feels cheap when it doesn't stand on its own legs without it.

Yeah, and I bet they are going to butcher the remake or whatever they are doing with KOTOR (I think it was officially shown this month - the logo at least).
