    I really don’t think that:

    1. Andor
    2. Rogue One
    3. The Clone Wars

    belong with the group in the second panel. I love Star Wars and I’m also very critical of how much it reuses concepts and content across its (mainly film, but in other mediums occasional as well) catalog. There’s a whole fucking galaxy of shit out there – approximately 50 million populated worlds and 100 quadrillion sapient lives in known space alone (according to the EU, so take it as you will) – and we see like two dozen planets and one family in the movies. It’s frustrating.

      The point is that the star wars films draw inspiration from Star Wars and nothing else. It’s like a loss for the industry as a whole that new big studio scifi films aren’t being written or produced aside from one single intellectual property. It doesn’t matter at all if some of them were decent.

        No one missed the point. The fact of the matter is the three properties I mentioned drew upon traditions, stories, and storytelling methods outside of the Star Wars franchise. The fact that the produced a result far beyond their peers in the catalog is evidence of the actual artistry in their creation, not the point itself.
