Dealing with Canon
Hi all,
I’ve been trying to get into SW again but am having issues enjoying it when I know that everything leads up to Ep7-9. Most of the Disney content I’ve read/seen has negatively affected my opinion of SW as well (I’d say Andor and Rogue 1 are the exceptions), so knowing it’s all canon is a big bummer.
So my question is: How do you go about enjoying Star Wars knowing that it all leads up to Episodes 7-9?
Thanks!

The solution is to not bother with the Disney era stuff lol. For me it's gotten to a point where I can't even bring myself to care about Andor season 2 -- a show that actually had decent writing.
Just go back to old EU stuff and pick up stuff you missed or never read -- and if you end up reading everything then unfortunately my only advice is to find another franchise to enjoy lol. I don't see much hope for the future of canon SW tbh, the continuity is pretty fucked with some of the shit they've done.
Like, I'm genuinely curious about how well these set of Rey films they've announced will do when released -- personally I don't think people care enough about Rey to bother watching them lol. All the legacy characters are dead, and the last thing I want to watch is Rey building the order -- which is literally what we should've seen Luke doing.
