Andor Already Has More Going For It Than Other Star Wars Projects
In recent years, theStar Wars franchise has been dominated by an abundance of Mandalorians with helmets (Din Djarin is a prime example) and surprise appearances by well-known Jedi (such as Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano). In a lot of ways, especially when it comes to Jedi, it is normal for the series to focus on these sorts of aspects of a galaxy far, far away.

It’s the latter of these that hasn’t been explored much at all since the conclusion of the Skywalker Saga with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. That film saw the defeat of the First Order, and although The Mandalorian has Empire soldiers and promises to show that future regime’s origins, it’s more about the Mandalorians as a group, along with the lead character’s relationship with Grogu, more than anything else. This is where Star Wars: Andor comes into play, the new Disney+ series that releases at the end of next month.
