This is good even for people that couldn't give a shit about star wars?
Yes it is actually amazing. Best star wars media since the original trilogy by FAR. It actually stands on its own very very well too as just a cool as sci-fi action/political thriller.
Story about the russian revolution piggybacking on Star Wars as a property in order to get made. It does not give a shit about being Star Wars and that's a good thing.
andor is the best star trek show in decades
Its legit one of the best shows of the last 10 years for me.
Ok, thanks, I'm going to give it a try.
You should pirate it. Disney + is under BDS boycott.
How dare you think that I would do different.

One of the beauties is that all the Star Wars stuff like Jedi, Sith, lightsabers, chosen ones, the force, etc are all missing from the show. The only thing you will see is the Death Star, but it's brief. It focuses on the politics between working class, rebels, and the Empire's version of CIA/FBI/DHS. There is also a little bit of "we must pass the Senate bill" type political stuff too. Since it's an undetermined past in a galaxy far, far away, they can freely borrow from real history without worrying about chronology. They mix a bunch of different elements like young Stalin, Cuban Revolution, Nicaragua, Manhattan Project, Battle of Blair Mountain/Coal Wars, all at the same time. Plus since they can just hop on a ship and go to another planet, real geography is no obstacle. There is a Nazi Invasion of France planet and a modern day American midwest planet where immigrants workers are harassed by space ICE.
Absolutely, if anything it's even better cause the people that give too much of a shit about star wars aren't into it cause it doesn't do fanservice bullshit. It tells a fantastic story
