quite possibly the best piece of star wars media ever created.
That’s an incredibly bold claim! …also it’s an incredibly accurate claim! Lol.
For real though: one criticism of star wars that has always been legitimate is that it falls into the trap of making fascism look really cool and failson cop from Andor is just such a fucking wonderful and brilliant in universe takedown and middle finger to people with a stormtrooper fantasy.
Andor has actually been a double edged sword for me. Its so fucking good that it basically shattered my ability to delude myself into believing that 99% of star wars content wasn’t completely disposable drivel. I remember sitting in silence at the end of the last episode just wondering how I was ever supposed to give a crap about all this babyshit ever again. I haven’t even bothered to finish the latest season of the Mandalorian let alone the acolyte.

Yes precisely. The show is VERY good at making the empire into the evil horror that they truly are, the director plays off parts of the series like a literal horror movie with the empire as a monster preying on the victims while simultaneously showing that it is filled with the most awful and pathetic people alive.

Yeah it’s really that good. By far the best thing this franchise has ever created. I’m very concerned that series 2 will be interfered with in a way that is detrimental but I’m pleased that series 1 will always exist, particularly because of who it’s based on and the implications that has for anyone that considers the rebellion the good guys.
