   IMO Andor would have worked even if they had taken out all the Star Wars references, just as generic sci-fi. They accomplish everything they need without leaning on context from the films and other shows.

     @mcnees Agreed. It could have fit in any sci-if universe and told a good story.

     I don’t know if y’all have heard about this under-the-radar show called “Andor” but it’s pretty good.

     @mcnees they tried really hard to make us care about each character.

     @mcnees and it did such a good job of exploring what it's like for all sorts of people to live in this world during these events, not just important "main character" people.

     @mcnees You’re right, but to me, the tie-in to the larger Star Wars universe — especially the impact on characters’ personal lives — made it more meaningful. Definitely the best Star Wars story ever for me, by a large margin. Better than Rogue One.

     @dgoldsmith oh yeah, that made it even better for me. Just impressed with how good it was. And it sets a different tone going forward than the campy takes it earlier shows and movies.
