Reply to comment by likejanegoodall in Here's why people aren't watching Andor: the first 3 episodes are from a much smaller, much more boring show. by testthrowaway54321

I've always wanted a Star Wars show or movie that would ignore the Jedi and The Force and focus on the world around it. Probably because I grew up in the Star Wars drought between Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace, where if you wanted Star Wars you had to resort to reading novels. And they were full of this kind of stuff.

I don't care if there wasn't a lightsaber fight or spaceship battle in the first few episodes. It gave me the worldbuilding and character drama I've always hoped for in live action.

Yeah, I don’t think the no Jedi thing hurt them at all. I really dig the birth of the rebellion stuff. Also, anyone who’s ever seen any Star Wars knows empire=bad, but you never really see how it affected main street…just normal folks trying to make a living and along come these goons putting their boot on everyone’s neck.
