I used to consider myself a Star Wars nerd. I even enjoyed the prequels. Decided not to bother with the Mandalorian once I read that it doesn't take place in TOR era, and I've never even heard of Andor. I never thought there'd be so much Star Wars content that I don't even WANT to see it all.
-
If you appreciated Rogue One, you're doing yourself a disservice by sleeping on Andor, NGL.
-
I don't even remember anything from Rogue One, so I think it's safe to say it didn't engage me.
-
That's anyone else's fault how, exactly? 😅
-
damn, my favorite star wars movie for sure
-
Same, don't remember the movie at all. But Andor is really good, imo the best they did in decades.

I liked Rogue One, but felt that Andor was one of the least engaging characters. He was the person who did what others told him to do. In S1 of Andor I found him to be a very passive protagonist. He fell into situations, things happened around him and the whole thing was very unsatisfying.
Unless he gets a "cause" in S2 I suspect I'll be hate watching it.
-
Season 1 detailed the radicalization of just a guy who was just trying to keep his head down under fascist regime.
Did you also somehow manage to miss all the other characters in Andor?
-
You can point out the river at their hooves, but certain donkeys simply won't drink. Your effort is appreciated, though. 🤷🏼♂️
-
No I didn't miss them, but neither did I enjoy them. The most interesting to me was ...
Maybe S1 is setting the board, and it will all come together in later, but I generally found it slow paced and dull. Most of the characters failed to engage me.

"The Mandalorian" is fantastic space western, and worth watching for what it is, if you can ignore the Star Wars connection.
It might tempt you to also watch "Boba Fett", which does not stand in it's own at all, but does weirdly contain a couple of good enough bonus episode of "The Mandalorian" for marketing reasons.
-
I loved Boba Fett. It refined the space western formula even further.

To be fair, most of the new Star Wars material is junk, but Andor is a very strong exception. It uses the Star Wars universe to tell a story well, rather than just try to pander to us fans.
-
I don't blame you for being burned out on star wars content. For me personally i'm getting annoyed by the fact that it's all shows now and no movies. I will say that i can recommend andor though. That show is amazing in terms of quality and can stand on it's own feet even without the star wars branding.

Dude there’s always been a ton of Star Wars content you didn’t know about, unless you read 2-3 Star Wars novels and comic titles per month.
It’s a GOOD THING to have niche content for niche audiences. Trying to make everything for the mass market is how we get brainless blockbusters.
