Starwars shows us what can happen to a series/setting when you get creators that care and when they stop giving a *beep* about it and only want to sell us “the message(tm)”.

The entire character arc for Anakin in the clonewars-series made his final transition to Darth Vader so much more believable than the prequel movies ever did.

Like Startrek the setting has sooo much potential for interesting stories, but commercial greed and modern identity politics have killed any interest I may have had in modern iterations.

I keep hoping Doctor Who doesn’t follow that path … but even they are showing clear signs of degradation. It kind of makes me wonder if we are ever allowed to have a series/setting that is designed to last “forever”. (the less said about what they did to Tolkien’s legacy in “Rings of Powah!” the better.
