    One of the problems is that the TV series are starting to look and feel like TV, even when they’re telling galaxy-spanning stories of huge in-universe importance. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi missing from the production values that even the most garbage of the movie offerings (pick for yourself which those are) still did right. Star Wars fans, including me, are always overdramatic, but as a franchise it’s also getting small.

    Meanwhile, the plans were for there to be at least one movie a year, yet nothing since Solo 6 years ago has even made it into production. Something is off. Whether it’s as simple as a bad media strategy of announcing their “inside baseball” pitches to goose corporate earnings, or an actual dysfunction in the studio, it’s worth talking about.
