    This is the truth, all this marvel and star wars expanded universe shit is too much for the average person. I just want one show with new characters that I can get into, I don’t want to have to research lore, I research things in my field and that leaves little time for researching things that are supposed to be brain dead entertainment.

      Imagine thinking a fucking Star Wars movie is too complicated lmao

        Wow dude I can barely see you up on that high horse, are you able to breathe? The oxygen must be thin.

        Honestly I’ve watched episodes 4-9 and I liked 5 and 7 the most, I’m not a star wars fan, just a fan of watching good shows, and being able to just jump into a sci-fi show.

        Your such a fucking elitist about literally a movie, I didn’t say it was complicated you asshole, I said I didn’t want to have to learn who a character is to enjoy a new television series. But yeah fuck the average guy for sharing his very relevant to this post opinion.

          I’m not being elitist. It was a ridiculous post. Star Wars movies aren’t fuckin Inception or Momento. They’re goofy Space Fantasy with a lot of heart. You’re not solving a whodunit. The bad guys are literally designed to look like obvious bad guys. There’s never been some big big Keyser Soze reveal in a Star Wars movie or show.

              If you just want to casually watch the newest movie / show there is no reason to even acknowledge that legends exist.

            Explain to me who ahsoka is using only context from the mainline movies… (I’m not counting the clone wars animated feature)

            And you see my conundrum with investing in most post Disney Star Wars content

              You only need to know Ahaoka from the Mandalorian, which she was just in, if you need to know anything at all.

              The mean people with the other lightsabers will be the bad guys.
