i don't have many new thoughts on andor. go listen to @morecivilized, their conversations have done a lot to shape my opinion and it's four smart people who care more about star wars than i do talking more intelligently than i could hope to. i do have a couple of opinions of my own though.
my major take away is that star wars can be good, i guess? despite having watched almost all the recent star wars shows they've put out, i would not call myself a star wars fan. i watched obi wan and book of boba because a close friend wanted to watch them with me, not because i would have otherwise. and so i can't say that if you just slap the label star wars on a thing i won't watch it, because clearly i will, but i don't have any built in affection for the setting. andor is the perfect show for someone like me.
andor is barely a star wars show. i mean, obviously it is, mon mothma is there and andor is from rogue one. but aside from the relations to star wars it has so it can have the budget it has i don't think it gains anything from not just being a new science fiction property. as much as they can they use the universe it's set in well, but i would have enjoyed andor just as much had it been entirely original.
except that i wouldn't have watched it. i just don't watch much live action tv, so despite a hypothetical non-star wars andor being an as good or even better show i'm glad it was star wars so that i got to see it.
