Phenomenal Star Wars content

Dante

I totally agree with what you said at the end about this show vs other Star Wars content. I think you could easily replace all the Star Wars elements and characters with just generic sci-fi and the show would be just as good

Andor is my favorite Star Wars content of all time besides the OT. This is maybe the sixth time I've watched through and it's still sooo good. Glad you're loving it too. One thing you didn't mention so not sure if you noticed but Melshi is in Rogue One. He rescues Jyn Erso from prison early on and then later Cassian makes him the leader of the ground team in the final battle. He's a smaller side character to easy to forget but these episodes show how close a bond Cassian and Melshi made, and explain why Cassian would overrule and trust him to lead the ground team on Scarif. and there's also a nice bit of poetry with Melshi, who broke out of one prison, helping break others out. "Everyone has their own rebellion" indeed.

The prison run in this show was so unexpected and ultimately so satisfying. Then we get Luthen's monologue, my favourite dialogue in all of Star Wars. This series was a dark horse that ended up being some of the best, if not the best, writing in Star Wars.

Absolutely. I was going to watch anyway, but I wasn't all that excited. I loved Rogue One, but I was sure that Cassian was the dullest character. Then that trailer... then the show... I was soooo wrong. It's soooo goooood.

I agree with crab. Best stars wars content since the original trilogy. In some aspects (writing, acting), it’s the best Star Wars content ever

True for sure, but what really makes it shine is how insanely well-done their retcon work is on this show. Yes, it'd work amazingly on its own, but contextualizing prior achievements and, more importantly, the dread and genocidal efforts, the parallels to dictatorships all around the world, past or present... it really elevates the experience. I definitely am more lenient on the rest of the IP, which, if you put it out immediately after the second trilogy (or the third one for that matter), would have really blown people's minds, if only for lack of anticipation... but even if you're unreasonably fanatic about the entire franchise or the OTs, Andor ends up being so much salt in so many soups. Then again, I'm more of a SWEU guy myself, and just about anything adding to canon ends up being something I welcome. Which is mostly games, Star Wars games always eclipsed the movie efforts for me. Which doesn't detract from how amazing they are, but sometimes a medium just really turns good material into manna. I mean, Star Wars is just a wild combination of genres to begin with, it's no coincidence that this kind of storytelling works that well. Mandalorian did a great job too, I personally liked getting a way more gritty look at Vader in Obi, which really was overdue. Even with the many contested additions and corners turned, expanding the franchise is so fun. Even if you didn't like SW all that much, ending up with Andor is a pretty sweet freaking deal.

Not ashamed of calling it my favorite Star Wars content, period. It's kind of what Shrek is to German kids growing up on classic fables and tales - or any kid in the world, for that matter. Perfect adoption satirizing great source material with enough reverence to not make people groan a single minute, while putting a novel twist on it with some top-notch filmmaking. Plenty of animation shops do that, to be honest, people love railing trite platitudes about how sequels always suck, but so much of our favorite content was adopted from mediocre stock and, at the very least, inspired TV and movies that ended up being as great as you'd want them to be. Just look at the kind of things Rick and Morty is referencing. Definitely a huge achievement, and that is before you consider how far beyond anything the dialog is, that or how they weave new ideas, concepts, and world-building into the universe. I thought Severance was the pinnacle of recent television, and then Andor came along.
