"Andor" functions as a gritty tale of war and politics but it fails to fit into the Star Wars universe. Take away the storm troopers, the X-Wings and the general Star Wars trappings and Andor is hard to distinguish from any other series, that mixes a slow burn political drama and warfare. Its simply too harsh, cruel and gritty to merge comfortably into the lively, larger than life, swashbuckling world, that George Lucas crafted so well, back in the late 1970's. The result is a discordant series, that, like aspects of latter day Star Trek series, is simply too cynical, for this franchise. In summary, if you want a political military drama in space, I suppose this will do. That said, for those of us old enough to have come, wide eyed to the fabulous, adventurous world, beyond the stars, Star wars presented us with, in 1977, this series simply doesn't fit. A pass from me.

"Star Wars: Andor" takes a different approach to the galaxy far, far away. It's not about lightsaber duels or epic space battles, but rather the gritty reality of rebellion. This series delves into the everyday struggles of people fighting for a cause, and it does so with a refreshing realism that resonated with me deeply. As a Star Wars fan, I've always been drawn to the core philosophy of the franchise – the constant struggle between good and evil, the reminder that life is about making choices and aligning yourself with one side or the other. "Andor" embraces this theme, but instead of showcasing grand battles and heroic deeds, it examines the everyday compromises and sacrifices that fuel a rebellion. Cassian Andor, the series protagonist, is a welcome change from the typical Star Wars hero. He's not a Jedi with supernatural powers or a charismatic pilot with a knack for the Force. He's a man driven by personal loss and a deep sense of injustice, forced to make hard choices in a brutal, unforgiving world. He's flawed, relatable, and his Latin background adds a distinct layer of cultural richness to the story. "Andor" doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of the Star Wars univ

Andor is one of the most important pieces of television to come out of this decade. Despite its connections to one of media's mega franchises Andor grows beyond what it means to be part of Star Wars and delivers something that expands its world in so many ways. Star Wars has never felt so real, intense and emotionally resonate. The things this show is saying are all so important to the world, it's past, present and future. Andor's characters are also simply sublime, brought beautifully to the screen by their actors it's incredibly difficult to pick favourites. This was just a quick write up so I apologize if it's a bit messy— may try and do something more in depth at a later date.
