the only star wars show worth watching tbh. the writing, the production, the acting, everything is impeccable—not just by star wars standards, but in general. seriously, one of the best shows ever. it doesn't rely on fanservicey cameos and cheap easter eggs—it relies on powerful storytelling and thoughtful crafting; substance over spectacle. it's like if star wars were produced by HBO (i still can't believe it's actually d*sney given the lackluster cash grab shit shows they've been producing for the past decade) the way it depicts the banality of evil, the insidious nature of fascism, the ugly sacrifices of a rebellion, and the beautiful power of love and community in such a grounded way with nuance is just *chef's kiss*. this is not your typical family-friendly "good vs evil" star wars story. no jedis, no siths, no lightsabers, but i'm seated. i am simply too seated. and diego luna is hot. adria arjona too. (god i love their chemistry and i'm so emotionally invested in their characters' love story) but seriously, it's a well-written story about oppressed people rebelling against fascism that happens to borrow the universe of a popular franchise. i could talk for hours about andor. go watch andor! you don't have to be a star wars fan to enjoy it, i promise you won't regret it

YOU SHOULD GO WATCH ANDOR

idc if you dont like sci-fi or you hate star wars, i am being so fr rn go watch andor. it is a masterclass in television and perfectly mirrors the world we currently live in. it might just be the closest thing disney has to prestige television. as a star wars fan I can tell u with 100% certainty that you do not need to know anything abt the star wars movies or universe to enjoy this show! it can exist in it's own little self contained bubble. (although the sw movie it is directly tied to- "rogue one" is also a really good piece of media but im biased shh) it is a strong anti-facist piece of art whose commentary on the world is so strong i've legit heard stories of ppl who have become radicalized by watching the show. the craft put into the show is amazing- the music, cinematography, acting, practical effects, costuming, and writing is all top notch stuff! stellen skarsgard himself described it as "star wars for adults" and i personally describe it as "really fucking good". plus if you need any more reasons diego luna and adria arjona are rlly hot.

ANDOR

doesn’t matter if you haven’t watched any of the star wars movies. this series alone is so well written and I’m so sad it’s over.
