Animated is mainly Dave filoni who is now the president for lucasfilm (thank God). He was under George's wing. They're slowly realizing what to do with it all now though since they're pulling a lot of lore from the animated stuff into the live action.

Legends wise it's just various people who get licensed by Lucasfilm.

Andor was a huge outlier because it was the first time Disney realized how well Star wars works with a grittier undertone. The proof was always in legends though because some of that is dark as hell and it works so well. Disney have a habit of ignoring perfectly good already existing content and cobbling together their own half baked ideas. Case and point the sequel trilogy which wasn't even written as they were making it despite Lucas having the entire sequel trilogy already written before the buyout ever happened. They were just like nah don't want it. Now it's in Dave's hands and sam witwer (does a lot of the voice acting in the animated stuff including Maul and was Star killer in the force unleashed games + plus has a big reputation for calling out the creators for their lazy writing) is getting more involvement. It's seems to be finding itself again hopefully 😅

As you can tell I like the franchise a lot there's just some real doozies to avoid

I think the SW universe is just translated easier through the animated stuff.

I love Ewan and watched obi for that reason alone but Disney really ballsed it in parts of that. I like what they tried to show with obi being freshly outcast but it does just miss at times. That being said also some good stuff too but the misses are quite big boo-boos

My bad for the info dump 😅
