Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I’m on the same train. The original trilogy never did much for me (maybe if I was around in the 70s/80s when it was groundbreaking VFX), the prequels obviously suck, and the sequels are a hot mess too. Now you have Disney milking the hell out of it with all the TV shows and spinoffs. The only Star Wars thing I ever enjoyed was Rogue One.

    …then I discovered Dune. And Dune is exactly what I wished Star Wars had always been.

      Have you tried Andor yet? It’s probably the best series (don’t hate me Grogu fans).

        I have, I thought it was decent, definitely better than most of the Star Wars stuff Disney has put out for a while. Problem is I’m just over that whole universe I think. Sort of how I’ve been over the Marvel universe for the better part of a decade now. Nothing against people that like either of those franchises, it just all feels like slight variants on the same stories with the same characters or character archetypes to me. I’m not finding anything interesting they can offer anymore.

        I’ll second this. I was hesitant to watch it but my boss kept raving about it and I was hooked after the second episode. I really hope the strikes don’t turn S2 into a burning pile of garbage.
