See AllOne Rise Of Skywalker Scene Is So Much Better After Andor Season 2
I'm sorry, but nothing can make the Sequels better besides retconning them into oblivion.
One Year From Today, Star Wars' Next Movie Will Finally Hit Theaters (& It's Everything The Franchise Needs Right Now)
The franchise needs a reboot back to just Lucas's 6 films. As unfortunately everything Disney has made ties into the Sequels, which completely undermines Lucas's two trilogies.
Eight Years After The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson Gives Disappointing Update On His Star Wars Future
this is a director who has itted he gets his kicks from upsetting half the audience. Not to mention he made an entire character based on a girl he stalked in high school.
Rian Johnson is a certified creep.
"I'm Not Missing Anything": Andor Showrunner Addresses Original Five-Season Plan, Insists Show Is Better For Major Changes
I would have preferred less TIE Advanced. It was basically a bad plot mcguffin the way they used it. If it had been used again later it might have become a Chekhov's gun situation instead, but it was basically just a gag joke the way it was used.
Plus it and the TIE Defender being more advanced than Vaders prototype TIE Advanced X1, even though it's set before A New Hope... shows they really don't understand the timeline and are just going for cool over things making sense. They worked in Legends because they were developed afterwards, less op, and had a believable reason why they weren't yet in Return of the Jedi. It worked, here... it's far harder the believe the way they used it. It seems they just thought it was cool and didn't care if it worked or not.
Don't get me wrong. Rogue One and Andor are two of the very best Disney has done. But they're not even close to perfect, its filled with flaws. It's being graded on a curve vs all the other piles of Bantha poodoo that they seem far better than they are. It still be good in the Legends timeline too (ignoring the continuity issue of inserting it here), but here it just wouldn't be the pinnacle of the timeline but just a good entry with some flaws.
10 Star Wars Legends Moments That Still Live In Our Heads Rent Free
Luuke Skywalker was kinda setup since chapter 4 of the first Thrawn Trilogy book where Thrawn tells Pellaeon that the C'Baoth they met wasn't the original but a clone. The Clone pronounced his first name as Joruus, but the original was Jorus. The slight difference in pronunciation is some sort of mental instability.
So the clone Joruus later makes a clone of Luke, but then overrides the defenseless and basically newborn clone of Luke with his own mind. Now the Clone of Luke, also logically gets named Luuke by the mentally unstable Joruus C'Baoth clone.
Is it silly, sure. However it was absolutely set up and was far less annoying that seeing the word Clone ad nauseam.
The issue with Luuke's silly name is more in how overblown people make it out to be. This is a franchise where we have sound in space, Lucas thought a parsec was a measure of time and not distance thus leading to massive lore explanations of what Han Solo meant, we gave a goofy type character named Jar Jar Binks, and we has a teddy bear army defeat a Galactic Empire. Luuke was just a writers choice done to try to make conversations in the scene use the word Clone less. Even he later mocked himself doing this with an April Fools story about Luuuke.

Ok, I get X-23 from the X-Men Evolution series wasn't as great as she later became... but her character became far better than any of these other entries.
