In this conversation, my friend Gus from Triad of the Force and I discuss our thoughts on various Star Wars shows, including The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor. We explore the idea of storytelling in shorter episodes and seasons, and how it affects the overall narrative. We also touch on the importance of catering to different types of fans and the challenges of balancing fan expectations with creative choices. The conversation covers various topics related to Star Wars and fandom. We discuss the structure and pacing of shows, the importance of flashbacks, and the need for emotional twists rather than plot twists. Fortunately or unfortunately we also touch on the toxic nature of fandom and the entitlement some fans feel towards the franchise. Finally we express our appreciation for the uniqueness and unapologetic nature of 'The Acolyte' and the importance of taking risks in storytelling. The conversation highlights the need for open and respectful discussions within fandom and the dangers of relying on social media for information.
