Star Wars was always bad scifi, because it’s actually a space western. I think there is a lot of recoverable potential but I think it’s cursed to be “who knows what kind of death star the next movie will be about!!!”
The sequels are basically just as much remakes as they are “true sequels”.
I think at that point GRRM never actually wrote the books for the last few seasons (fans are still waiting lol) but be might have said what he was going to do in those books to the TV show writers. But since it was never fleshed out, the TV show writers apparently decided to make the last few seasons “not fleshed out”. Or, they just weren’t capable of original writing that wasn’t copying the (allegedly good) source material.
I think districts ruin Civ6 for me, I just keep going back to Civ5 over that.
