One thing the fandoms can agree on.

To help contribute, here's the only meme I've ever done, which I did in response to news that Abrams was working on a new ST movie. And after seeing how well the franchise is going with SNW and LD, I feel it's even more appropriate.
Star Wars is samurai movies with a skin on it. The whole thing is borrowed, in space. So it’s okay to have stories like Andor, Rogue One and Mando, etc because they mesh well with the general design of the universe.
Lower Decks is as far as Star Trek as it can be, and yet it fits very well in the universe. Because it respects itself and respect the source material.
JJ never respected the source material and the universe.
Pretty much. SW is a very "hero's journey" story. Somewhere else in this thread, I posted this:
That, but in a space samurai/western backdrop. Andor not only respects the canon, it explores it. Sure, it's not telling a hero's journey tale, but it's grabbing a piece of existing canon and enhancing it if anything.
This is where JJ I think fucked up with the Trek canon.
