Part 7/10:
The continual focus on characters like Maul, Ahsoka, and Lando Calrissian signals a troubling trend: Disney’s reliance on proven properties rather than cultivating new characters or innovative stories. While these characters have value, their overuse diminishes their impact and risks stagnating the franchise.
The frustration extends to the broader creative process. For example, the uncertain future of series like Obi-Wan, whose filming was delayed, and questions regarding the Cassian Andor series, reflect an underlying struggle to develop compelling, new narratives outside familiar territories.
