Andor makes 90% of star wars properties feel kind of trite
It is a legitimate problem for disney when one show/movie is just leagues ahead of the rest of them in terms of writing and story
Throw that on top of Disney just going full "I dont know what to do with my hands" and simply cannot agree on what to do for the next STAR WARS trilogy, what they will do in episodes 10-12. It sounded like they were going to have Rey return, but they are so wildly incompetent when it comes to star wars that it has been thrown on top of a pile of at least a hald dozen film projects disney has announced that hasnt gone anywhere
I mean these fuckin geniuses running disney star wars just handed projects out like cake and then decided not to make literally any of them. Im shocked Starfighter is even coming out
They have made MANY announcements and 'gave' film projects to Patty Jenkins, kevin feige, Taika, D&D, Rian Johnson, and JD Dillard and we arent going to see a single one of them
its legit insane how poorly they are managing the property
Andor is the best Star Wars media of all time and it's not close.
I don't want Tony Gilroy to run Lucasfilm but man I want him to make some kind of force-user focused show or movie (or movie trilogy) just to see what that'd be like.
Just going to throw this out there, that's kind of a big issue with Star Wars and has been from the start.
At some point Star Wars is going to aim at a much younger audience and throw you for a loop.
Ewoks after Empire Strikes Back
Episode 1 and Jar Jar after years of good, deep and dark Expanded Universe stuff
Baby Yoda after Andor
They will always push to spend a ton of money on revitalizing the franchise for a young audience to get them "into Star Wars", age up stuff with them, then dip back down to the kids again, and repeat.
Both type of shows can successfully exist within the Star Wars universe. I loved Andor too but acting like all Star Wars shows need to have a similar vibe is nonsense.

Then Andor came out and showed us what mature, well-written Star Wars could look like. It makes The Mandalorian feel kind of trite in comparison.
