Part 7/9:
The conversation around The Mandalorian highlights a broader dissatisfaction with Disney’s handling of the franchise. The narrative that Kathleen Kennedy’s influence is to blame is challenged by the belief that issues run deeper—rooted in scripting, characterization, and the franchise's creative direction under Favreau and Filoni.
Critics argue that the creative decline is evident, as even heavy commercial and character-driven cameos cannot salvage the series from its mediocre to poor writing. As ratings continue to slide, the fanbase is forced to confront the sad reality that what was once a flagship property has devolved into a spectacle-driven shell of its former self.
