Absolutely. But that's just my preference.

Mandalorian is really just a spaghetti western with a Star Wars skin. It has cool moments, but also doesn't take itself too seriously, a mix of action and comedy, and though the individual episode plots are contrived, they know the more important things is really just spending time with the characters. But if you don't like the characters, then the whole thing kinda falls apart, like what happened with the boring Boba Fett spinoff.

Andor is a spy drama which goes all in on the gravity of its plot. It's not lighthearted, doesn't have goofy moments or mascot characters, and despite taking place immediately before the original trilogy, it's not riding the coattails of nostalgia. An almost 100% human cast with no helmets or painted skin also makes it easier for the quality of acting to really shine on the screen.

Merely being different doesn't inherently make one better than the other, but what makes Andor stand apart for me at least is that it is the only Star Wars property I know of that was not at all made for children. Not that it's crass or gory or full of profanity, but it tackles topics like fascism and genocide that could never be as thoroughly explored in any other Star Wars property intended for children.
