I revoke canon status from all Disney Star Wars releases.

I would only keep Rogue One

Just for whom it might concern

Grrr, ! mrahil

IMDB ratings aren't worth tuppence while they still continue to rate Episode I as being worse than Episode VII and VIII. You can tell that this is the so-called 'critics' talking rather than the Fandom Menace. VII was an abortion of a set-up film, and VIII did some fun stuff to try and change it but also did some especially stupid things too.

Too much Disney stuff in there. I revoke canon status from all Disney Star Wars releases.

I would only keep Rogue One

Rogue One and Andor both deserve to remain in the canon, both add some much-needed darkness and maturity to Star Wars and are better than what the EU originally conceived for this sort of era. Moreover, with those who've seen both generally rating them highly, they've encouraged people to finally open their eyes and see that Star Wars can (and should) be something a lot more than a campy '70s Flash Gordon tribute as the Original Trilogy was.

I also personally still like Solo (though L3-37 can be retconned out), though it left a lot of loose ends that nothing and nobody did anything to resolve (other than Rebels in the case of ending Resurrected Darth Maul, which can also die). To be honest Obi-Wan Kenobi should have been devised a lot earlier and used to resolve the Resurrected Maul arc, rather than what we got which was largely needless except for helping out Hayden Christensen's standing among the Star Wars fanbase.

I get high ground. He loses three limbs and catches on fire. Great success.

Interesting how at 8:40 the Drinker has spotted how the mindset of a good amount of the fanbase even today both stamps out all the genuinely bad stuff we've seen come from Disney (quite understandably), but also starves them of actually genuinely good content like Rogue One and Andor that has the balls to do something different (and more mature) to what has always been considered the 'core' Star Wars philosophy, to the detriment of the franchise as a whole.

Though with him mentioning fans willing to ignore everything post-2005, I wonder if he realises that this attitude problem started before that when the Prequel Trilogy came out - it was the same petty narrow-mindedness of Original Trilogy fanboys dissing the Prequels for being more serious and having their neo-Shakespearean flair, in contrast to the Original Trilogy's '70s campiness and simpler story, that began to start strangling the franchise's options for creativity.
