"You guys are excluding the George Lucas movies from discussion right?" We are not. Andor is the best Star Wars ever made, full stop. IMHO, it surpasses, by far, anything Lucas ever did.

Yes, it's easy to view Lucas' films with a rose-tinted lens, but try and watch them now and you see: poor acting, poor writing, one-dimensional characters and plot points.

  And by far the coolest looking spaceships ever seen in any medium. The production design was incredible. At least X-Wings, TIE Fighters, Corellian Corvettes, Imperial Shuttles and Star Destroyers. Not a fan of the Millennium Falcon tbh.

    The TIE Avenger starship [1] in the series seems incredible. I cannot find the official toy. [1] https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE_Avenger https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE_Avenger

      Yes indeed, looks really damn cool.

  I didn't think we loved it for the acting, but the production and world building which Lucas excels at IMO.

    And the John Williams soundtrack.

  The acting is perfect for the campy story Lucas was trying to tell.

It’s a different beast. For me, there’s too many things in Andor that don’t fit conceptually, logically or tonally with the original trilogy. So if you like the world building the OT did and/or hinted at, Andor might not come through on that. Of course, the prequel trilogy (again quite a different beast) had similar issues.

  The prequels are trying to do what Andor does well, including a more political focus. But Andor just blows it out of the Naboo water.

  For me it fits perfectly well if you're coming at it from the perspective of people in the same universe who've never seen a Jedi or the Emperor in their lives.
