have to still say, props to Lucas for foreseeing the rise of streaming and trying to get in on it. Too bad that it requires other networks to actually have a platform and no one was interested. Could have contributed to the burnout.
I agree that origin stories really dont work because you already know the end goal which makes the character development very restrictive. It also really only goes one of two ways: the character was always like they are now or more common, character is the exact opposite of who they were but one or some major event changed them to who they are now.
In this case, Palps was either an actual positive role model for peace and a spurned lover turned him evil or he was always evil and spurned love made him more evil (probably the former). Im fine with a character exploration but would prefer it be a one off or story arc as opposed to a whole series. Motivation is nice but love is also a done to death concept. Maybe something like seeing the jedi as inadequate and the dark side would be “better” for a more equitable society could be interesting and some universe building.
