Star Wars TV Shows and Franchise Decline

from STUDIO 2009

DJ Valentine examines his frustrations with recent Star Wars television, tracing a pattern of decline from The Mandalorian's strong start through The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and beyond. He discusses specific problems: inconsistent writing, massive plot holes, characters being undermined (Boba Fett, Cad Bane), and the franchise's shift toward nostalgia bait and cameos rather than meaningful storytelling. With Ahsoka on the horizon and Dave Filoni overseeing it, DJ expresses both hope and deep concern about whether the character—beloved for her arc across Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Mandalorian—can survive the current era of Star Wars TV. He also touches on the decline of the Jurassic World franchise as a bonus gripe.
