I've heard complaints that this show doesn't feel like Star Wars at all, but I personally think that's why it's so great. There are no grand heroes, no force-wielding Jedi, just everyday people sacrificing their lives and morals to bring freedom. It's gritty, real, and exactly what I was looking for after the almost comical Obi-Wan Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett. It has action, drama, and it finally brings something new to Star Wars. For too long, Disney Plus has been far too concerned with fan service, and filling up their posters with recognizable characters. Andor isn't afraid to try something new, with characters and places we've never seen before. The writing, acting, and boldness of this show makes it a breath of fresh air and easily the best Star Wars series we've had in a long time.
