    Andor is good, but a lot of people treat it as amazing because everything else in Disney Star Wars has been garbage. Cassian is by far the most boring part of his own show.

    If watching some Andor scenes is the cost of a Luthen vs the ISB plot I’m willing to keep watching.

      Obi-Wan was unironically better than Andor though, I will give you that Book of Boba Fett was a complete middlefinger to the audience.

      Andor however doesn’t even feel like it belongs in the same universe as Star Wars until the prison arc when they remember Storm Troopers exist and stop having “Imperial Soldiers in Imperial Uniforms”

      I find Secret Wars to be a great show and a more successful version of what Andor was trying to accomplish. The fact that a show as boring as Andor is loved, but Secret Wars is written off as trash, is… honestly baffling to me.

      I will grant that if Andor was cut out of Andor, and we focused more on Mon Mothma, it would be a lot better, and actually be this “Political Intrigue” show that people bill it to be.

      Yes show, I get it “Empire Bad”, you don’t need to keep reiterating this point. Tell an actual story please.
