Not only did it take me back to the Star Wars in my head that existed before the prequels existed but it was the most sobering depiction of struggle that Star Wars has ever achieved on screen. The prison episodes were especially moving.
What do yall think about the show?
The best part of star wars is that any genre can be used to tell a story in its universe. Andor nailed a gritty spy/intrigue story in a way I don’t think we have seen with star wars.
Mando is great but it is a very different genre and feels marketed to a very wide audience. I like the classic serialized, episodic form of Mando but I prefer the grit and passion of Andor.
