Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi (www.yahoo.com)

Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

"Sanitized" is the best way to describe everything Disney puts out these days, whether it's Marvel, Star Wars, or even Pixar.

They feel designed-by-committee, unassuming, uncontroversial, flat, easy. There's little experimentation in story-telling, filming techniques, dialogue, and pacing. It's always the "conversation, action, witty remark between characters, action, conversation, witty remark" formula.

It's all so predictable and boring.
