No, but you have too look outside of the movies where every possible cliche that could be used was used
Carter Johnson
Yes, but for the wrong reasons. Star Wars only works because George Lucas was an extremely knowledgeable artist creating genuine art. That's why when anyone else tries to do something with the setting it results in trash. It's because they fundamentally misunderstood Star Wars.

It is if we talk about how Disney has handled it. Lucas was smart enough to realize that the first three films needed a distinct feel from the originals, even though they all look kinda shit every place the characters go to is unique. There's the city planet, the water planet, the jungle planet, and the red bug desert planet. On that latter point geonosis is kind of a lame stand-in for tatooine, but Dooku's performance sells it as the whole area feels inhuman and unsafe.
If Disney was smart, the sequel trilogy would have been on three different planets which would have stopped the plot from sprawling out and forced a larger focus on the characters. I don't think anyone knows or cares about dantooine but they could have shot it cheaply in Colorado and have it be the same story of someone irrelevant becoming meaningful. Which would have been a carbon copy of Luke's and Anakin's stories but the change in atmosphere/sets would have tricked the audience. And this would have permitted them to do the 9th film in an evil nazi planet where it's just nu-wolfenstien and hurr durr orange man bad etc (but done well and in a way that's at least interesting to watch).
What fails is the execution. A good production staff could have done something that wasn't boring, convoluted or just plain messy. Especially with the transition from Ryan to JJ, there's no cohesive plot and nothing makes sense so good ideas aren't built on and everything feels useless. Which it is because ultimately it's just a paid, disposable product.

They shit on starwars because they are trek nerds. Which is just as shitty.

no

Nope. Mandalorian disproves it.
Landon Stewart
What? The main character is a bounty hunder who is basically like Boba Fett except his armor looks different and he's protecting a kid who is literally just a baby version of Yoda. The villain is empire shits again and they go to tattooine even though its a completely backwaters planet.
Carson Cooper
Just call it a general thread you chode. Fucking jannies and their love for trek.

Considering the last three shows have had Tatooine, and previous characters being shoe-horned it, it's easy to see it that way.
The first season of Mando was pretty entertaining, because it felt very simple, just a Mandalorian bounty hunter and his companion doing odd jobs.
Then Disney saw it was the underdog compared to the shit trilogy, and hijacked it for all 12 spin offs that will be coming out in 2 months intervals.
So at the moment, yes it is, but that's just because Disney are corporate hacks who don't want to take risks or innovate.

Depends. It is extremely limited by all of its technology being hand-wave magic without even an attempt on setting up some kind limit on what is and isn't technologically possible, how expensive it is to push certain limits technologically versus others and of system of possible logistics that supports the rest of it it is hard to create any interesting narratives that are a result of the social pressures and conditions that these factors will shape.

Rich and Mike are Trekkies and Trekkies have always been mad that Star Wars was more popular.
Jacob Jones

Camden Jackson
I loved the part where Bobba Fett showed up and we all got up and clapped.
Bentley Long
No, he has a raging hate boner for the prequel trilogy despite it expanding on the universe and being the best trilogy overall.
