    Andor is the best piece of Star Wars media and the best TV show I’ve ever seen. You don’t need to like Star Wars. I don’t know if seeing Star Wars would even increase your enjoyment. I think seeing Rogue One would probably be good but otherwise just jump in. No space wizards or laser swords or destiny or whatever. It’s so adult and grounded. I can’t believe Disney let them make this.

      Andor is a great show and an anarchist manifesto and a deep and undeniably timely study of the mechanisms of empire. Andor isn’t like other Star Wars media where the good guys and the bad guys both seem really cool. It shows the empire as something really shitty, and its agents as deeply sad, dysfunctional people who are essentially also its victims.

      This, but you can go ahead and skip Rogue One as well. Its a good movie, no doubt - but Andor retroactively sabotaged it a little.

      I’ve heard this over and over. But I can’t justify a Disney+ subscription no matter what content they have.
