I’m going to say something highly controversial: Disney has actually made a good Star Wars show, and I’m not talking about the first season of ‘The Mandalorian.’
I know, I don’t know how it happened either. Perhaps Kathleen Kennedy was on vacation during the writing phase, or maybe Disney was just too focused on the largely disappointing ‘Kenobi’ series to pay attention to what was going on elsewhere, but ‘Andor’ is legitimately great.
The series takes place prior to the events of the original three movies and is essentially the backstory to ‘Rogue One,’ consistently held up as one of the best Star Wars movies ever made. It follows Cassian Andor from his checkered beginnings to becoming a vicious leader in the rebellion. And I realize I’m nerding out here, but I promise, I’m going to make a broader point if you stick around.
Here’s the trailer for those that haven’t seen it.
