Let's Get Back Onboard With Andor
Briefly

"Andor" successfully redefines the Star Wars narrative, focusing less on iconic elements like Jedi and lightsabers and more on political intrigue and espionage. The series serves as a prequel to "Rogue One," leading into the larger saga. It begins five years before "A New Hope," using its characters' journeys to examine the intricacies of rebellion against oppressive regimes. The show’s first season concludes with Cassian Andor joining the Rebellion, setting the stage for a second season that will continue to explore his evolution and the escalating conflict.
"Learning the meaning and weight behind all that space-operatic bombast is a key reason Andor works so well, focusing on the mechanics of fascism from a grounded perspective."
"Andor proves that when Disney gives creative freedom to showrunners like Tony Gilroy, quality storytelling can emerge, as evidenced by its exploration of espionage and political intrigue."
