STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

Back in my day...

Not to mention, Droids. And, well, a few billion toys.
 
This feels like it's aimed at an elementary school crowd. The bulk of Star Wars feels like it's got a higher target demo.
It's aimed at that crowd and their parents...the ones who watched Goonies, ET, and Star Wars in the theater or on VHS. This is the first full series that's not a cartoon that's easy for you to watch with your kids.
 
I'm a baby of the early 80s, with a dad who loved Star Wars after seeing it in high school, so my memories of Star Wars movies, toys, and made-for-TV Ewok movies go back to my very earliest childhood. It was just always something I knew about and loved. I slept with a hard plastic toy of Rancor as a kid because it was my favorite toy in the world. I guess the modern era has skewed more PG-13 (because that's the sweet spot financially nowadays), but I still think that for me, Star Wars is like Wu Tang: it's for the children.

To clarify, I'm not saying it's a bad thing that this is aimed at youths.
 
And, despite what I just said, Andor is my favorite thing Star Wars from the new era... so like Wu Tang, I guess SW can be for the adults too. My family is going to start Skeleton Crew together soon, though... hopefully it's better than the Ewok movies and holiday special!
Andor S2 trailer is allegedly coming towards the end of Skeleton Crew's run so that's dope. If they can maintain this level for the entire series, it might not just be among the best SW properties, but maybe up there with the best sci-fi in years
