The plot:
Finally some good fucking plot
Bro the show is named Andor
Not dumpy girl who’s dead show
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.
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.
“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.
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.
