I'm sorry to bring the thread back, but I just want to talk about upcoming Obi Wan and just generally all things 'Star Wars'. Hope nobody minds taking the discussion that way.

So...who else is stoked about Obi Wan? 10 days countdown now. I can't wait to get some additional background on Anakin/Darth's relationship with Kenobi and maybe even some background on Luke and Leia's upbringing. Hopefully they do something to help flesh out Ahsoka's place in the universe too because at the moment her story feels a bit disjointed between the movies, Clone Wars, Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett.

Personally, I'm not going to watch it unless I hear it's worth watching, like with The Mandalorian. I've come to realize that just because it has "Star Wars" in the name, doesn't mean it's automatically going to be good.
I've recently learnt that about all major franchises now. It turns out if you pick and choose the good stuff rather than trying to consume it all, you actually have a much more pleasant experience with those franchises that are constantly pushing out new content on an almost monthly basis.

I agree with you, but fans will go for more than that, and the masses will fall for the magic word combination in the title. That's why Star Wars is a perfect field for experimentation with minimal risk. And the field is so fertile that the viewer is once again ready to turn a blind eye to the errors or even outright stupidity in the script, just to enjoy the stories from a galaxy far, far away again.
'Star Wars' is such a powerful brand that anything can be produced under it, and that 'anything' will always break the box office.
