I haven’t watched season one since it first aired, and I'm glad I rewatched it. It’s refreshing how they dropped the Jedi mythos for something grittier, slower, and more human. It’s the story of working-class rebels and crooked survivors. Not Jedi legends, but people scraping by in the shadow of the Empire until they’re pushed too far. It all just works. The tension is strong in this one.

Disney accidentally made Andor epic by focusing everything on their mid, woke, half baked jedi/sith projects and movie plans and letting Gilroy do whatever he wanted with this one-off spinoff flying under the radar that no one was looking forward to in particular.
By accident and to no credit of their own, they end up overseeing best star wars related property since 1980 in the last show they expected to garner that reception.
All because they.. for ONCE didn't meddle and let someone with a fresh perspective fully take the reins and flesh out their vision.
