I want to like Star Wars more than I do. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I grew up watching Star Wars a few years before the prequels came out.

I loved it! I was a big Star Wars fan. I honestly almost completely lost interest in it after I became an even bigger Trek fan.

I’ve been playing Lego Star Wars and it’s been fun, but it made me realize that the stories all seem surface deep to me.

I get the movies from the 70s were not going to deep dive in Luke’s training, but in each film it’s just like, “And… you’re a Jedi master now.”

There are other races and we do not get to really learn much about them. I guess the Mandalorian filled that out some, but I couldn’t get into that show.

I guess this is more of a rant about how Star Wars feels like and empty shell of a series than something with more substance.

I really wish, that there was something that went deeper.

I have not watched all the Disney+ shows yet, but I might start Ahsoka or Andor tonight. I watched Obi Wan and liked it, I tried Mando 2 times and did not like it one bit.

I loved the Shadows of the Empire book.

I highly recommend the X-Wing book series, the Thrawn trilogy and the Jedi Academy trilogy.

The X-Wing book series was so good to me! I need to reread it as an adult and see if I still feel the same, but there was a ton of relationship building, more on characters like Wedge and Tycho and how they were important to the rebellion and new republic, and the descriptions of the star fighter battles were really good.
