    It’s hard to believe Andor S2 could be better than S1 but they actually pulled it off!

    The kids who loved the original trilogy in theaters grew up to be adults with more sophisticated tastes. Andor is for them. Other Star Wars media is for new generations of kids.

      There was very little room left in the storyline chronology for a third season, and I suppose I could just watch Rogue One yet again, but knowing that doesn’t ameliorate my disappointment that we don’t get any more Andor.

      Related: I can’t believe I forgot to make special mention of Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, who gives a masterful portrayal of brittle grace over a thinly-veiled nervous breakdown.

      And what you posit is true: Andor certainly stayed true to the original Star Wars ethos. Rogue One as well, aspects of Solo, and some elements of the Mandalorian, but otherwise, agreed; the rest is kid stuff.
