I'm kinda down with this. He seems like a proper nerd. I met him one time at a breakfast place in Santa Rosa, CA and he was hella chill. Hopefully he can right the ship.

Is Kathleen Kennedy still clinging to power?

This is the real question. I'm not getting my hopes up for anything Star Wars until she is gone. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not a Star Wars fan anymore. It helps that Star Trek seems to have pulled its head out of its ass and turned itself around with Strange New Worlds, so I still have a good space Sci Fi series to enjoy.

I've been a star wars fan since I was a little kid. I've seen ever star wars movie on release day since the special edition releases, before the prequels. That was until the new trilogy. I skipped the rise of Skywalker in theaters and haven't seen it yet, and I'm in no rush. It's the first star wars movie I've straight up ignored.

Shit, I even saw the clone wars movie in theater, I think I was the only one in the theater watching it that day.

I didn't see Rise of Skywalker in theater. That point in my life, Star Wars was basically the only thing I would still go to the theaters for. I did watch it digitally. I hated it, but it was a good feeling of closure. I could feel like I was done with the franchise. Every once in a while, there is still a gem like Andor. I'm not going to be the one to find out. I'll let others slog through the crap and report back on the ones worth watching.
