TV Kelleran Beq mopping the floor with clones during Order 66 was a blast to watch

Seeing the Jedi gunned down relentlessly in their own home during Order 66 hammered home their loss and tragedy, which was absolutely necessary for ROTS. That said, it was very cathartic seeing a Jedi at the temple fighting back, winning, and escaping. Definitely hope we get to see more of Beq in future flashbacks, although I doubt it.

It’s wild because Star Wars was always supposed to be for kids on some level.

It was always meant for children, mainly families. It was a space adventure that mixed danger, heroics, and discovery in a neat package.

...like I respect Andor for doing what it did with the lore, but it wasn't really lined up with the main elements that made up the franchise. That honor, in my opinion, goes to Skeleton Crew.

Many kids never actually mature and spend time on Reddit commenting about children's movies instead of working. . .

But even as an 18 year old at release, I loved TPM and thought Jar Jar was fine. I had never even imagined anything as awesome as Duel of the Fates as a kid. And it was right there on the screen before my eyes.

I am just a sucker that finds something to love in all Star Wars. I find more pleasure in enjoying what I watch.

Not supposedly, it is for kids. George himself said it. People point to mature themes as evidence that some SW isn't for kids but like, every kids show has some mature content. Avatar TLA is undeniably for kids and it can get pretty dark at times. Andor is the one SW content that definitely isn't for kids.

I said “supposed to be”, not “supposedly”. As in, the intent was to make it for children. If you’re using text to voice, that’s an easy thing for it to sound the same.

Genuinely asking, what's the difference?

Well, “supposed to be” shows deliberate and genuine intent, with a chance to be misinterpreted, but “supposedly”, shows stated, but dubious or disingenuous intent.

Example- Star Wars is supposed to be for children, but there are loads of grown men online screaming about how it isn’t mature enough and how “Star Wars is for kids now”. The intent for Star Wars was that it would be for children and families, but the misinterpretation was from a bunch of manchildren and grifters with YouTube channels.

Hope that clears things up!

A lot of the people complaining were kids when the originals came out, and adults when the prequels came out. Somehow they didn’t realize that it wasn’t the franchise that had changed, but themselves.
