One of these shows will be good, one will be okay, and the rest will be crap with a shiny star wars label against it.
The Good: Kenobi, Ahsoka, Bad Batch
The Ok: Andor
The Crap: Lando, Rangers, Rogue, Visions, Acolyte
So much SW stuff being planned by Disney because of the popularity of The Mandalorian. It’s just a matter of time before it all implodes.
Silly Disney. Star Wars is for Favreau.
You'd think they'd have learned their lesson. That glut will do more harm than good to the property.
I was ecstatic to learn Kenobi was going forward and fully expected Ahsoka to get her own series because she was executed perfectly in TM but seeing all these other shows being shotgun blasted out really doesn’t bode well.
They smell blood in the water following 'Mandalorian's' success, but I think the result is going to be diluted and incoherent. They're going for Marvel's diverse narrative voices, but I don't think they have the unifying vision and talent to pull it off.

I think you’re right. They have to really tighten the reins and carry that similar tone throughout the shows. Just looking at season one of TM and the criticism the disjointed feel of differently directed episodes got and how much better the overall tone and feel of season two has been, you can tell Favreau really listened to and understood the problem. I just don’t think Disney as a whole is capable of understanding that.
I actually think they have the vision and talent to pull it off (Jon and Dave), but not the characters. These shows seem to come from trash KK and the trash story board.
I do think that Glover has a ton of charisma and the kind of gonzo chaos that *could* swirl around a young Lando has GOTG potential. But who would pull that off? And at that point is it really Star Wars? What works for MCU can't just be tacked on to a different animal.
That could be a curse but also a blessing. The more they stray from the core Skywalker/Palpatine narrative the easier it will be to dismiss when it all sucks, lol.
