    I wish, as a Star Wars fan, I didn't have to be afraid of every new series Disney comes out destroying something I love. That's not how you treat fans. You don't make them nervous anxious followers of a franchise for your own agenda. It's super annoying. Hoping the best for the show though

    It doesn’t matter whether a person had read and watched everything in an IP, it matters whether they understand what they watched/read. We have plenty of examples out there of people claiming solid knowledge of an IP and then justifying utter travesties (Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, etc.).

    I think what will make the most difference to me is how likable an/or compelling the characters are, whether they're sanctimonious vessels for some ideology or ego trip or not. I can take poorly executed story to a high degree if there's good and interesting world building, and I can ignore some poor or nonsensical world building if the story is good, such as in the Mandalorian with the mystification of the Mandalorians and the helmet rule and such. But if I can't stand a character, as was the case with Holdo or even Luke in 'The Last Jedi', nothing can salvage it - and Leslye Headland, the showrunner, seems the type that could write that sort of pathetic and/or infuriating character, though I admittedly haven't seen her work to say whether she's prone to that sort of writing or not.
    Otherwise, who knows, if they put as much effort into the action as they seem to be saying, maybe that will make it watchable regardless of the story and world building. I'm still reserving judgment, but also still not particularly optimistic.

    My biggest concern is the army of negative nancys who sway hordes of people to go into watching something for the first time with a preconceived criticism against it.
    I was guilty of jumping on this bandwagon a few years ago, but hearing all of the bad publicity about ‘Solo’ and going in with low expectations only to end up loving the film enough to go buy a few figures after I saw it in theaters…
    I’ve since learned to make the assessment myself and not get swept up in all of the pre-release hating.
    As a content creator, I’m sure it’s a huge struggle to walk the line of being skeptical, but also not drawing people away from a subject.
    Thor, I think you do a great job and really respect all the work you and Naboo have put in these last 5 years.
    Keep up the good work!

    I was one to not care about this show. But this show can do so much. And even tho I may not like the director choice ima give her a chance for sure. Yoda and Mace could have very well kept a secret from the rest of the council in the prequels. How did Yoda know the rule of two? Last time sith was around, there were hundreds, now they magically have knowledge that they rule as 2? At the time it may have made sense until legends and Canon books came out describing the past as different than the prequel era, leaving plotholes.
    The fact this dark force user is wearing a suit likened to the knights of Ren is a good opportunity to connect the sequels as well. Kylo was never a sith and neither was snoke.
    I'm interested as to what they will do. And I hope they succeed and prove many wrong because I want more high and old republic Era projects
