7 Worst Things That Happened To Star Wars In 2022

Another piece of technology that has taken the galaxy far, far away by storm - and rest of the movie/TV-making sphere for that matter - first made its presence known in Season 1 of Disney+'s The Mandalorian series.

And since changing the game somewhat during Mando's initial outing on the small-screen, the 360 degree LED wall soundstage known as The Volume has routinely been used as the backdrop for just about every Star Wars project pumped onto the streaming service.

While this seemed to work an absolute treat early on in said Mandalorian tales, though, the same cannot be said for the more recent attempts at replacing physical sets with a digital surrounding.

In the case of both The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi, this reliance on the digital gave the all-round project a slightly soulless, hollow and even smaller feeling in the end. Whereas a return to more physical sets and filmmaking whilst shooting on the critically acclaimed hit that was Andor definitely went down better with fans of the franchise.

That world felt authentic and lived in, with just about everything on screen being fully functioning and crafted with a level of depth and attention that often feels missing during those other Volume entries.

The Volume is undoubtedly a groundbreaking piece of tech. But 2022 proved that it's still pretty difficult to top the real deal.
