Funnily, both starred Ben Mendelsohn.

So what we know is that when Ben Mendelsohn plays the villain, it's a success!

Freaky Tales doesn't buckle that trend either. He's a great villain!

For someone totally out of the loop, what does this mean?
-
It means Andor was excellent and Secret Invasion was hot garbage.
-
It really could have been another Andor, too. On paper. A completely different story from the dead horses they keep beating, with low-power characters in high-stakes situations, overcoming political and personal obstacles without superpowers or deus ex machina technology, giving us a taste of what it's like to be a normal human trying to do what's right in a universe full of space wizards and galactic threats...
Instead, garbage. Hot, hot, garbage.
-
Just to expand on the concept, Andor was a quality show that demonstrated the IP still has life. It is compelling and well-made, bringing viewers to Star Wars at a time when most enthusiasts are tired of terrible movies.
There are many parallels between Star Wars and the MCU.
-
Through no fault of Tony Gilroy's, Andor's last few episodes got GoT'd. So much of the story had to be compressed, a bunch of scenes got inserted almost randomly in post production. The narrative fell apart. That final episode was shot with the change in Gilroy's back pocket.
Really spoiled what had been up until that point some of the best Star Wars material produced to date.
I'm less likely to tune into a new Star Wars series after watching Disney dismantle another hit in mid-Production now than I was when the first episode aired. So, I guess, in that sense it has something in common with Secret Invasion.
