I am through ANDOR episode 10, and I am not okay. This show, I swear.
Everyone who's watching is giving pretty much that response.
It’s so good. It has no right being this good. We don’t deserve it.
It's legitimately too good to be Star Wars. It wouldn't exist without Star Wars, but nothing else in that universe is executed this well.
There are more good hours of Andor than there are good hours in SW movies.
Oh man, that is true
It's fucked up, right? Pound for pound, the best Star Wars has ever been. There's no fat on the story at all. All killer, no filler, for 24 straight episodes. That's BANANAS.
I cannot think of an achievement like that in licensed media outside the first 10 yrs of the MCU as a social and cultural force. But even that has some wild ass misses in there. There is no Thor: Dark World in Andor.

I was mad at season 1 because when I finished it I realized Star Wars could have been this good the whole time.
After season 2 I need to revise that. It couldn't have. No way. This is some wild mutant that escaped containment. They're bricking up the holding cell as we speak.
But I look forward to ten years of other folks doing Star Wars and chasing this show, like all of scifi cinema did the OG film in the 80s.
Or learning the wrong lessons about why it worked, like the glut of Tarantino copycats post Pulp Fiction.
Oh, exactly that. Nobody will get why this thing works. Get ready for some director to think it was just the attempted SA or morally dubious protagonists.
