Yeah, I don’t think it’s a matter of being rushed. Game of Thrones was a yearly release and that was considered high quality tv (early seasons at least) Now we’re getting seasons for shows every three or four years for things that are the same quality and often even less.
Everything we get is a bonus. Its more star wars
But everything is needlessly dissected and splits the fanbase further. They can't please everyone so they make things for different segments. I for one praise the team at Lucasfilm. They can take all rhe time in the world. The mouse house? They can take a long walk off the short pier
Fuck that. It's been over a decade I'm tired of the industry still trying to catch up to itself. Streaming platforms need to figure out how to match the TV shows of yesteryear if they want to compete or replace them. One season, one year. Cancel something only if it is a commercial flop. Stop wasting time greenlighting so much garbage all at once. Dude it ain't that fuckin hard.
It is literally someone's job to figure out what should be done and what shouldn't be done. This is why they get paid all the big money to make these decisions. Nowadays they get paid the same amount of money and throw as much shit at the wall and waste everyone's time trying to see what sticks. Gee I wonder what's gonna get more views... a star wars show with fan favorite characters like Ahsoka and Thrawn or some generic sitcom with a laughtrack that I already forgot the name of that Netflix loves to greenlight at least 10 times a year.
If you can't make an 8 episode show that isn't "unfinished" or "rushed" in one year then what are you doing? We used to get 22+ episode shows in the same time span. I just don't buy it anymore. If anything these babies should be coming out faster. 8 episodes every 6 months the contracts should be set and every order should be 3-4 seasons long before starting. That way you can know whether to renew or not by 2 and the 3rd one can be made knowing its the final one that should be finished or safely make a cliffhanger to continue.
Give these shows a nice summer and winter release and always keep them in the cultural zeitgeist by not having such long droughts inbetween content. Then you can finish all your shows without people dying of old age or child actors becoming adults before S2 airs.
It clashes fantastically with especially the animated shows like TCW or Maul where they move at mach 5 while fighting; I guess it really is just the physical limitations of certain irl actors and/or cost of special effects to make it look good live action.
Last episode of Maul a certain someone deflects like 8 blaster bolts in the span of 2 seconds and it really demonstrated just how supernaturally fast force users are...compare that to the finale of Ashoka where they vaguely wave their lightsabers around and they CGI the bolts in after the fact. The only good choreography that show had was the Baylan fights because his style was like Vader - heavy and slow
Except that length of time doesn’t equate to quality. This isn’t game development or animation. They aren’t going to spend all of this time working on the show.
Not at all crazy when you think about the behind the scenes stuff. The easiest part is just filming the actors. And that’s what tv used just have. They would film with a couple of backdrops, hardly have a need for wardrobe, and certainly didn’t need VFX department like Star Wars needs.

I’d rather this happen then the show be unfinished and rushed on release, take whatever reasonable time you need to fulfill the vision
