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.

Pretty much. SW is a very "hero's journey" story. Somewhere else in this thread, I posted this:

And although I would say that Andor is proof you can do cool things with a Star Wars background, at its heart SW is a conceptually fairly simple. Young person with the help of wise wizard and plucky band must master his powers to face down the evil tyrant. Now, is that the OG trilogy? Prequels? Sequels? LoTR? The Matrix?

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.
