PSA: Andor is great even if you have zero interest in Star Wars

Just posting this for the folks in the back. I saw the original Star Wars movie at the drive-in with my parents as a kid in 1976/77, and the 2 original sequels as a teen, and I thought they were okay. I have never seen or been remotely interested in anything Star Wars since then. I watched Andor only because someone I know plays a minor character in season 2.
It is truly terrific. Great writing, casting, acting, editing, everything. And incredibly subversive for a Disney production. A tale for our time. The first episode of S1 is a little hard to get into, but I was totally hooked by the end of episode 3. Highly recommend! |

| My mom's more into British mystery shows than Star Wars and loves Andor. They filmed a lot of it in the UK (the oje planet is basically the Scottish Highlands) and a lot of the bit roles are actors you'd recognize from BBC shows. |

It’s so good. One of my favorite shows of the last few years. Maybe #1.
It looks fantastic and it has incredible acting Someone on X said: Watching the end of Andor, then Rogue One, then A New Hope rocks, because the plot and the aesthetic are basically seamless, but everyone in the galaxy gets way stupider over the course of maybe a week. |

| I've tried watching Star Wars movies and couldn't get into them. I've always thought they were overrated. I gave Andor a try based on the hype and it didn't disappoint. It really is great! |

I've watched all of the Star Wars stuff just because it was something to watch, and liked some more than others. But I'm not a Star Wars person - I haven't rewatched anything, for example.
At the end of Season 1 of Andor I had the thought "this is why I watched all that other crap - to get to watch this." And it took me almost 5 episodes to get "into" it. |
