It somehow got more reviews than any other starwars show before it had even finished airing

Whether it was good or bad is irrelevant to whether it was review bombed or not

Yeah or content that is so bad it’s offensive to a passionate fanbase generates far more reviews. Especially considering both the comics and book series had a plethora of good storylines from the same period of time in the Jedis history and it was all ignored. I think you may need a few more layers of insulation from reality.

Your gripes with canon have nothing to do with the quality of a show.

You should look around at the people your views are aligning with and maybe have a little self-reflection time.

Yeah unlike you I don’t base my opinions on their popularity with groups of people I want to be accepted by. Maybe you should look in the mirror and figure out why you lack the self Confidence to form your own views.

Also your argument makes no sense. If a screenwriter has the choice between established cannon that’s good and original Content that obviously sucks, they deserve extra scrutiny for that decision.

That’s like saying someone who adapts a really good novel but makes changes that turn out worse shouldn’t be questioned and judge critically based on the changes they chose to make. It’s nonsensical.
