FOr me the dividing line was the lack of Force wielding characters. The Sith and Jedi (and Nightsisters)-they're what makes most SW a science fantasy. to borrow from Firefly: "It's like something out of science fiction." "Dear, we live on a spaceship." Andor has the spaceships and robots/droids and interstellar travel, but no space wizards. It's advanced tech, for sure. So I suppose you could go the AC Clarke route that that far advanced is closer to magic than science, but I think to cross into fantasy requires more sword and sorcery or some other sort of juxtaposed anachronism.
One thing Anime has done for me is make me appreciate wanting more because most series end without a spin off, kicking the dead horse into sequels, or reboots no one asked for or wanted. You tell the story, you give it a good ending, and you go on to your next project. (yes I am aware of anime americans watch never ends because they get marketed to an american audience who loves eating shit for generations) At this point the fans need to stop blaming star wars for sucking. They need to blame themselves for demanding more when there was no more. More Star wars shit is going to come out because you keep chasing it like dogs chase the ball when the owner fakes throwing it. We didn't need any more movies after RotJ. Star wars was not even good. It was good and revolutionary for it's time. It is shit now. What is new about Ashoka? Oh, she has face tats and a tentacle head. That doesn't make a show. That is just a backgroud character from the band in Jaba's desert cruising party yacht.
So there is another emergency galaxy aside from the one where the emporer stores his vast empire of pizza slice warships for an invasion that can only be stopped by the five rebels still alive after the last movie? Or is this the emergency galaxy where the rebels keep their hords of cannon fodder so that every time the empire wipes out the rebels they just have a new army to come in at the last minute? Or is this the emergency galaxy where luke keeps his weird sexbeasts so he can harvest their weird boob juice? Is their a cool emergency galaxy? Oh wait, that would probably be the pre-voyager star Trek Galazy which was destroyed when voyager accidently ran into a space tornado and ended up ripping a hole in the space time thing that eventually killed the Q.
*Leans in and whispers* Trek and Wars are each other's emergency galaxy. They intersect at JJTrek. Shh, shh, people are coming. Ixnay! Ixnay!
Sabine didn’t need any roids. Magic or otherwise. She’s Mandolorian. In Star Wars universe, that’s enough.
Finally got around to watching the series. It's not bad, but it's not great. For a show called Ahsoka, she wasn't in it much. Thrawn was a major disappointment. Totally miscast for live action (I know the actor did the voice in the cartoons). Wonder what they're going to do with Ray Stevenson's character in season two.
"Wonder what they're going to do with Ray Stevenson's character in season two." Indeed. Most interesting plot line for me (albeit it was probably just going to be some mystical business I'd have been disappointed in)
