My hot take:
The Chosen One prophecy was a dumb addition to the saga. Anakin's story is better without it, when he is just a father who saves his son out of selflessness and it has nothing to do with fulfilling a prophecy or restoring balance to the Force.
@Torgan616 To me, everything is canon unless contradicted by new official canon - and so far, we don't know what FOTOR will say about the era. Hopefully it keeps SWTOR intact, because I very much love the story flaws and all.
@isabellaamidala It's really depressing that no one has the patience to give stories time to fully breathe and expand anymore. Not immediately a viral sensation? FLOP! 🥴
I think the funniest think about how new canon re-contextualizes the OT, Luke & Leia discussing if they remember their mother is kinda funny when you remember that Mon Mothma literally was friends with her.
#Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy praises Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy
"She has protected the show and protected me ... When we started challenging Kathy, Kathy just kept saying yes. 'Oh, I’m going to put the first scene in a brothel.' 'Okay.' 'I’m going to have them kill two cops.' 'Okay.' 'We want the production designer from Chernobyl.' 'Okay, good idea.'"
"She backed our play and got everything that we were doing. We’ve been through everything, she and I, on this— all the good and all the bad. There’s no show without her."
"For all the shit that she takes online, it’s just insane. This show exists because she forced it to happen. What a tough job she has, man."

Nobody is talking about how #andor S2E10 finally gave us another canon appearance of an "ET" Asogian. This time an elderly female version. Looking at it side by side it's obvious. The same skin and features. No way it's a coincidence. Awesome!
Not a character or line of dialogue wasted. Andor sets a bar that all others will hope to reach in terms of production, acting, writing, and emotional weight. Give them all the awards. And they they sure weren’t kidding when they said how it will forever affect how you watch Rogue One. #andor #rogueone #starwars #lucasfilm
