Andor is an incredible series that is only incidentally connected to star wars. In particular, the ability to slowly and organically ramp up tension in each of the major arcs is truly special.

I like the Andor writing and acting, but the directing has been more hit and miss. Some episodes feel more like reading a chapter from a book than watching a TV show. I wish they grabbed Alex Garcia Lopez, whose two Acolyte episodes are waaay above the rest.

It's so sad that Disney burned some Star Wars fans so much that they will never give Andor a chance. It is such a work of art.

I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars, but I'm so happy to hear Tony Gilroy drawing direct parallels to the Empire and the current US administration.

Andor is honestly a lot better than most of Star Wars. Heroes who are flawed and morally complicated; imperials who seem more like real human beings than cartoon villains.
