Transcript by OP

Look, I love Andor. And I'm enjoying Darth Maul. But to say they are more Star Wars than Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, or the Sequels is just silly. Have those people actually watched the OT? The OT isn't dark, isn't starring antiheroes, and always remains hopeful. Even ESB. I feel like the haters don't actually understand Star Wars.

Star Wars is a lot of things. And I'd argue that Andor is helping to set up the hope of the OT, just showing more of what it takes to actually get there. I do find all the hate of the sequels tiring, though.

I don't get the need some SW fans have for everything to be dark/mature/gritty/whatever. I like when SW is a bit fun and silly and cheesy sometimes.

Why am I having trouble parsing this secret?

[finlaena]

If I could like a secret, it would be this one.

The people who want Star Wars to be dark, grim, gritty, and adult are fundamentally missing the spirit and point of the series. Hell, some of the first non-book expanded universe stuff made were the Ewok telefilms and the Nelvana cartoons (Droids and Ewoks). Having it be grimdark goes against everything. Like yeah, there are moments of seriousness, but Star Wars is best when it embraces sincerity and a little bit of camp.

I've found, more often than not, the ones who bellyache about Star Wars not being dark/serious enough are the ones who are often embarrassed to say they're fans when Star Wars embraces what it is (i.e. the episode of The Mandalorian with Lizzo and Jack Black as guest stars, or the goofier episodes of The Clone Wars). They want things to grow up with them rather than admit that maybe, just maybe, they've aged out of it or that they misunderstood what it was supposed to be all along. If they want grimdark, bleak and hopeless sci-fi, there's always the Battlestar Galactica reboot from a few years back, I guess.
