Spoilers Andor - Season 2

Luke Skywalker, the character and the man who played him. JJ Abrams, the director that set up the trilogy and introduced a bunch of questions that were cast aside or thrown out. Characters and items that were held to have significance and more story behind them, such as Snoke, Fin, Captain Phasma, Luke's lightsaber, Kylo Ren's mask, Admiral Ackbar (character and actor). The director that had to follow TLJ and try to find a way to finish the trilogy when Rian (everyone should like what I like) Johnson basically ended the trilogy on part 2 with nowhere for the story or characters to go in part 3.

Please tell me exactly what he respected that came before him. Be specific.
Well, you gave me zero specifics except some vague talk about "questions" and a random list of characters. What "questions" were ignored, exactly? What about those characters was diminished (but Ackbar? Seriously? Ackbar was never going to be an important character and he was a glorified backgrounder in TFA. Gimme a break.)

He respected the story telling and character choices that were laid down in TFA and didn't overwrite them.

For example, many people blame Johnson for turning Luke into a crabby hermit. That's literally what happens in TFA, it is explained very clearly in dialogue that Luke "walked away." Is Luke heroically fighting the First Order in TFA? No, he is not. The movie explicitly says that.

So don't get shocked when the sequel movie shows him not fighting the First Order and actually has to find a reason to justify the choice it was handed. And yet it's somehow Johnson's fault for "ruining" Luke by actually following what TFA laid the groundwork for.

So if you have a specific gripe or issue, let's hear it. Just writing a list and not explaining anything is the opposite of being specific.

So, make a point. Or keep obfuscating and saying nothing.

Unique. As in frequently ill-informed and histrionic.
I don't think I've watched one of his videos in years (if ever), but I've seen just enough clips of him in reaction videos and, dear god, what a totally unhinged loser he comes across as.

One clip literally has him insisting that you "must" read all of the books and supplemental materials to fully "get" a movie and, if you don't, you're not a true fan and it's your fault for not liking, say, "Rise of Skywalker." Holy crap.....
