First of all… This is the most bloated, ChatGPT article ever.
Second. Godzilla Minus One just looks OKAY. Let’s not kid ourselves here. When half your story takes place in very simple, small sets, and another 40% can be shot in a water sound stage or on the open water with little set design needed, no shit it’s gonna save you a lot of money.
Do people think these Star Wars sets just exist already or something? They take huge teams to conceive of and dress them. And then you’ve got the volume stages where not only are you spending a fuckload to rent out for the day, but your CG artists have to generate those environments ahead of time.
Articles like these are fucking idiotic.

Yeah i do. After the new movies, several tv shows, and the galaxys edge theme parks they have a decade plus of star wars specific production infrastructure to draw on. They're not starting from scratch on this show.
Isn't this show set on a completely different time period?
Does that matter prop wise? I'd say I have above average knowledge of star wars lore and I have absolutely no idea how to visually tell the difference between say the old republic era and the most recent trilogy. The only thing I can think of that reliably identifies a time period in star wars in terms of visual design is storm trooper helmets.
There are actually quite a few awesome Old/High Republic properties.
Sure, but none of them have been a movie or a TV show though, so they're not going to have the sets, props and costumes just sitting in a warehouse somewhere
You would think they aren’t starting from scratch, but each crappy shot of an underbaked Coruscant suggests otherwise.
Are you telling me they didn't film on Coruscant? /s
Usually the film the pilot on the real Coruscant, then they recreate the interior in a pavilion, and use the same exterior footage over and over again.

It looks great, and it was a great film, and I had a great time watching it.
Its still more expensive, per episode, than other SW shows and more expensive than Episode IV itself ($57M) adjusted for inflation.
I dont think this is a SW problem tho. TV and movies seem to be getting ridiculously expensive to make for some reason
