Would I watch Mike Milligan and the remaining Kitchen Brother hunting down Xenomorphs for some reason? Yes. Yes I would.

I think Disney+ has produced enough seasons of Star Wars TV to show that Andor and the first season or so of The Mandalorian are exceptions, not the norm. If Disney+/Lucasfilm focused on good storytelling, I don’t think this article would exist. Instead, we got The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In fact, I’ll just play Red Dead Redemption 2.

Ah yes, those damn Millennial assholes, like Jane Austen, F Scott Fitzgerald and Charles Dickens.
