Critical Review of Recent Star Wars Series: A Meltdown of Expectations and Production?
The latest series in the Star Wars universe, ambitiously priced at around $180 million for the entire season—about $22 million per episode—has spawned a flurry of reactions, ranging from enthusiastic anticipation to outright ridicule. The show's premise promised to delve into profound themes such as identity crises, the nature of the Force within a spiritual and possibly matriarchal society, and societal oppression. However, viewers and critics alike have expressed disappointment, citing nonsensical plotlines, questionable character development, and a staggering amount of wasted budget on superficial effects rather than compelling storytelling.
