That and melange.
Spoilers Andor season one

I have to say this about "The Book of Boba Fett". I thought most of it was okay, but rather mediocre. Although I found Boba's relationship with the Tuskens rather interesting. But I really disliked those two episodes about Din Djarin, which I believe had no business being in the series. I would have marked the series as a complete failure for me, if it had not been for that crazy finale, which I must admit I loved.
Book of Boba Fett is totally saved by how it gives character to Fett. His relationship with all the various players is actually endearing in a way, and seeing him trying to build relationships. While the Mandalorian inclusion felt very out of place, how Boba and Din interact was decent enough as character moments. So, I enjoy Fett now as a character and what he went through in that series.
I didn't mind that Din Djarin was there to help Boba. I did mind that he was given two standalone episodes in a series that was NOT supposed to be about him.
If I recall, they added one of those episodes into the show so that the appearance of Din and Grogu would make sense. Possibly due to a delay filming Season three of The Mandalorean, as the shows should have come out together and crossed over for what became episodes six of the Book of Boba Fett. With episode five being the first episode of season three.
They didn't need Grogu in that finale. Lucasfilm could have reunited Din and Grogu in Season 3 in "The Mandalorian". Oh well. The damage is done.
That's the thing though is that it felt very unnecessary. If they were worried about the Mandalorian Season 3 making sense then, and I know this is crazy talk, fix it in Season 3. Or do a little short. But, in the middle of another show as two episodes to set it up? It grinds the pace to a halt. It brings in 3 different narrative elements in Luke and his Academy, Grogu's choice, Ahsoka's mission and none of that has anything to do with Boba Fett and his story. It's a weird pacing choice.

This.
All of this.
This is most of the reason why The Book of Boba Fett is my least-favorite of the live-action Star Wars series. We had two or three entire episodes sidetracked by the presence of characters that weren't made for the series, did nothing but distract and whom could have waited until their own series launched their new season.

If I'm feeling Star Wars it's OT then ST, then one of the Disney Plus shows. Or Solo.
The only ST movie I won't watch is the Rise of Skywalker.
I won't watch any of the prequels, they just bore me.
I liked Boba well enough, but I probably won't watch it again until right before Season 2 comes out (if they do a Season 2). If they don't do a Season 2, I'll probably watch it during a rewatch of Mando or something.

Well, he was held captive in a cell with metal bars and by fellow Rebels so that would be kind of new for him.
The writing on andor is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up its ass in two weeks you'd have a diamond
Don't be to hard on Bobba Fett using Mando and Grogu because Andor might need something like that to improve the ratings for season 2. I can see it now. Andor all drunk at some bar do to him drinking away the pain of the loss of his mom.
He eventually stumbles out and then see's 2 Storm Troopers walking by and he quickly hides in a abandoned building before they see him. Inside he finds Luthern inside holding a baby. He says "Andor we need you to guard this baby. She is key to stopping the Emprie." We look and see it's another Baby Yoda only this time it's a girl. Grogu has a sister we never knew about!
"Do whatever you can do to protect her Andor and also bond with her because we want the toy sales to go through the roof umm I mean stop the Empire." He does and 12 episodes later our hearts or melting over a wonderful daddy and daughter family drama taking place in the heart of the Resistance.

That is certainly some interesting imagery I now have in my head.
Started the rewatch of Andor.
The first watch through was the reveal on everything- great stuff. At the end of it you know how everything slots in.
The rewatch just cements it. When you see it all again, you realize how tightly plotted the whole thing is from start to finish. Pure gold. Andor and Luthen are professional insurgents, on different levels. Bix is an amateur rebel- the kind that gets caught and killed. The big guy (Andor's friend on Ferrix) is the kind that, if he survives long enough, winds up in the trenches on Hoth. Andor, of course, winds up an officer in the Rebel Alliance. He has skills, and he has street smarts, and he's willing to break as many eggs as it takes to make the omelet. Ultimately, as Luthen predicts, he dies fighting those bastards. What he realizes but never gives in to is the fact that he is one of the eggs. Andor and Luthen are birds of a feather- Luthen sees it at the end of S1, hence the grin.

How odd, considering there had been numerous complaints about the show's pacing and having too many episodes.
Not literally using them but still....
