Excellent thread and a beautiful counterpoint to my visceral reaction to this latest Andor arc.
I love good Star Wars discourse!
my brief venture into Andor discourse: Cassian is not "a Jedi," it doesn't undermine the show's core themes to include the Force, this is only coherent from a nu-atheistic perspective as an argument
May 7, 2025 23:32I didn’t react to the Force suggestions anywhere near your take, but I can see your through line. I think the foundational decision to have as much screen time for /waves hands/ all of this in-universe time as Ferrix - removing the luxury of flashbacks and E F G plots/characters - is the whole issue
Yes! The trying to cram 5 years into one season via time jumps is doing this show dirty.
Still the best thing Disney Star Wars has done, but it did itself no favors.
