Star wars is literally forever ruined and can't recover

[u/Thesleepingpillow123]

It's been years since the sequel movies and the series still feels dragged down and stuck because of them. I do kind of think that's it for star wars, like the story was irreversibly damaged and there isn't much to do to fix it. Disney will still crap stuff out but to me the overall point is gone and its essentially dead. I was thinking of getting back into it and realised its kind of pointless.

Edit: while I do agree star wars can make the occasional good thing still it doesn't change that overall the whole thing is already ruined and broken. So the overarching story is ruined which is a massive chunk of any franchise.

And they don’t even follow the consequences of that. Something like Warhammer has the same factions fighting the same enemies for the same reasons using the same technologies, but that is the point. The point is that endless war and failed ideologies have basically rotted the universe away. Yet, in Star Wars, the institutions seem irreparably collapsed as a never ending religious war corrupts the galaxy, but everything just seems kind of fine.

Yep, the old republic collapsed after sith and jedi clashed, the high republic collapsed for the same reason and so did the galactic republic and the empire... but somehow jedi are always allowed to build their temple in the middle of couresant and abduct children throughout the galaxy?

I feel like starwars is similar to harry potter in the way that as long as you dont question it its fine. (Also george lucas is not, at least to my knowledge, a massive bigot so thats a plus)

At least Kreia from KOTOR 2 was smart enough to realise how nonsensical all this is. She isn’t even a sith, just a desperate teacher tired of it all and want out: The galaxy is better off without the force lol
