The article critiques the Star Wars franchise, particularly focusing on Andor's second season, which fails to maintain the nuanced storytelling established in its first season. The return of familiar tropes and predictable endings undermines character development. As characters like Cassian Andor navigate the complexities of rebellion, the story emphasizes the dangers of impatience in strategic decisions. Ultimately, while Andor showcases potential, it struggles against the longstanding habits of the larger franchise, reducing its impact on viewers.
Star Wars is ostensibly set in a kind of far-flung future, but the saga is classical almost to a fault, recycling familiar beats and tropes.
Andor's second season drops the ball, leading to a predictable return to the most regressive tropes and a blindsiding ending for its most promising character.
In Episode 6, Cassian warns Luthen against pushing rebels too fast, highlighting the danger of impatience which can lead to catastrophic mistakes.
Lucasfilm's Andor demonstrates both the potential for nuanced storytelling in the Star Wars universe and the challenges posed by the franchise's entrenched storytelling habits.
