My Review of the 2022's SW Content

Dec 31, 2022

With 2022 coming to an end (Happy New Year to the ones who have it already), it's time to review the entire content that we got this year, and talk a little bit about the potential content that we could get on 2023.

1) Series: We got Book of Boba Fett, Kenobi, Tales of the Jedi and Andor

Just an edit with all the shows made on Illustrator using transparent pistures adding them on the date release (didn't find a Dooku one, so CW will do)

Book of Boba Fett: I reviewed the show in another post, so in this case i will be brief with what i think about this one, link down below. In this case, the show was okay, not good or amazing, but not the worst content of the year. You can see that this one got issues in leadership, story, vfx, and most critical in my opinion, existance, as this was just created to give the fans something while they wait for Mando S3.

With the show now finished, its time to go back and analyze some theories that i made back in September. The previous post will be down below.1) Bounty Hunters: I really wished we got more bounty hunters, but i cant say i am not happy for the ones who showed up in the show.A) Bossk and Dengar: When Boba said that he need muscle, both came to my mind, and i thought they were going to be in Episode 5, with Boba recluiting them for the cause. If there is a Season 2, they must show up, as now with Boba being a different man, maybe he has a job for them, and a place at his side.B) Cad Bane: It was amazing to see him in live action for the fist time in Episode 6. Dave delivered with the directing and the tension between him and Cobb. Once again, it shows that even being old doesnt mean that he is still being one of the most dangerous bounty hunters. I am not sure if he could still be alive, but his fate was poetic in a way, resembling the Maul vs Obi Wan duel in Rebels Season III.C) Black Krrsantan: A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Loved when he ripped the trandoshan arm in a brutal way, and him helping Boba at the end. I feel he could have been more ruthless, but at the end, i liked what we got. More hopes to see him in Kenobi as well.D) Valance: Wished we got him instead of the mods or

Kenobi: I also review this one a little bit in one post (as well as some rants too), as for me this one didn´t do it for me, rather gave me more and more trouble to get into while questioning the multiple decisions and "mistakes" not only in the story but also the lore. It gave me some little moments of enjoyment (like Qui Gon, Vader action, space run..) but also some "nonsensical" stuff that just took me out of it. For me the worst content of the year for sure.

With the show finishing a few days ago, its time to make my final review about it, and why i don´t enjoy it as much as fans do (it makes me happy that a lot of people like it, sad it was not for me). In this case, i choose three plots that were key in the series, and left my review at the end. I did not make a post about theories from this show, as all of them were wrong with just looking at the trailer.1) Reva's plot and redemption: I liked most of the inquisitor's appereances in all the shows and media (Rebels, JFO, comics, books), in this case, i had issues at first with the look of the GI and the 5ft Brother, but now i dont mind it that much. With Reva, it is a different scenario. The show, as the name says, is about Obi Wan, and Reva almost got as much as screen time as him, overtaking the show and being the main character. At first, we see a bunch of younglings running away from the 501st, with a distintive one being her (theories that were right), but there is also a issue about it: Surviving Vader's wrath twice (if she was stabbed as a kid, really ambiguous how the show tells it). Being a kid and getting stabbed does not end really well, at that point the darkside was not with her so she should not have survived. Then it was the second time, Vader does not care about the inquisitors, he would use any failure or reason to get rid of them, him not finishing the job doesn't make sense. Finally, her redemption was expected, however she also should have died from her wounds, the darkside kept her alive up until that moment, with her redeemed she can finally rest and become one with the force. Now whats the future for her? Disney probably is gonna make her an own show, and being part of the Path, meeting other jedi (Vos showing up is a possibility) and rescuing younglings. Nothing against Moses, she did what she could with what was given, and it is not her fault on the bad writing.2) Leia´s plot and rescue: At this point, it is time of a new story, there is already a huge pattern in the shows (Mando and Grogu, Omega and Hunter, Obi Wan and Leia) it really gets repetitive and tiresome to see almost the same plot, this one in particular could have been solved in less episodes (probably the first three). The actress did great as young Leia, trully portraying her and how she matures more moving forward to A New Hope. I would have prefered Kenobi not leaving Tattoine, as leaving Luke unprotected is a huge risk (which happened in the show).3) Kenobi vs Vader:

Tales of the Jedi: I didnt review this show, so i am going to take more time to explain my thoughts on this one. I don´t have this one as the best content of the year mostly because i feel that there were times when it felt "short" (i know they are shorts, but in the meaning of short storytelling, feeling rushed at times), like the last episode, a 10 mins or less screentime is not enough to tell that story, to learn more about the characters, feel something for their demise, enjoy a little bit of the Inquisitor, etc. Thats my only complain tbh, they were great by the way, especially the Dooku ones, a full story and a bit of a "tragedy", connecting to the story of the Chosen One apart of the two iconic scenes from Ep III and VI (Luke vs Vader and Anakin vs Dooku, another post coming...).

Andor: I reviewed the show in another post, so in this case i will be brief with what i think about this one, link down below. In this case, the best content of the year, nice storytelling, great buildup to a climax Arc ending in each episode, giving character depelopment to even a secondary character, etc. Good way to end the year in my opinion after the prev live action shows.

With the show now finished, it is time to finally make a proper review of the show, my final thoughts on it and maybe some theories for Season 2 when it comes in the near future.Note: To not make it longer than it should be, i will talk about theories on another post.1) The Bad: First i will start with what i don´t enjoy from the series. Interesting enough, i had a good time watching the entire thing, so my only issues were just the so called

2) Books: I can't talk about this one, as i didn't keep up with the new novels, but from what i heard and look around, LF is pushing more High Republic era content on here rather than Empire/CW or even ST books (which are rare now giving the "success" of those movies hehe)

3) Games: No games this year, apart of that mobile/Nintendo Switch game that i didn´t play. Next year the EA exclusivity is going to expire (not sure the month) so perhaps in Celebration we get something.

4) Comics: They are building up the last event between ESB and ROTJ with Vader, Aphra, The OG crew (Luke, Leia, Chewie, Lando), bounty hunters and Qi ra. Apart of that, there were some HR comics as well as the new Dark Horse ones. Hit or miss, waiting for the end to make a proper review.

In 2023 we will get Bad Batch S2 in a few days, Mando S3 after, Skeleton Crew (not sure the time but post Mando), Ahsoka (probably end of the year or early 2024; unless LF surprise me with a trailer on Celebration and a release post July), and some animated shows as well (Visions and the HR young jedi show). Interesting that there is a predominium of John and Dave content, perhaps guiding and showing the path to future content.

In terms of games, we getting Jedi Survivor, and the end of EA exclusivity that i mentioned before. New games apart of that not sure, perhaps news of the Ubisoft game and confirmation of the other games that were working on in the shadows (it will be a surprise if a new Battlefront is released, or Squadrons 2).

Comics and books continue per usual, with some new titles based on Cal Kestis and the HR stuff.

With everything said, happy new year and hopefully 2023 hits it in terms of new Star Wars content.
