The honest trailer nailed it, even if it's done in jest.
I watched the Andor honest trailer after that, and by contrast very few jokes are made at the show's expense because it was actually an excellent show that raised the bar on average Disney Star Wars "simp" fare.
No offense to Filoni who is clearly trying to do something cool with Thrawn and the Mandoverse and pay homage to the EU, but I think that if the franchise is to be salvaged from the uninspired re-treads under disney future projects need to take a hard look at Andor, not to imitate or replicate it per se, but look at how it treaded new territory and was story-focused and not trying to string together enough nostalgia or bring enough lore characters to life to keep people watching.
