this is like the third Andor post today.

Again, Andor is going under the radar because Disney burnt a lot of good will.

By himself, Andor is not even that popular. It's not a character people care for. And those who do, know where it all ends. While the same could be said about Obi-Wan, he is magnitudes more popular than Andor, who is not even the most popular character of Rogue One.

That said, in another moment, the show could have had a fair chance.

Not in 2022.

Disney+ botched, completely botched, Kenobi and Book of Boba Fett. Those should have been the A+ game. Instead they took two of the most popular character in the franchise and put them in low effort, poorly written, laughably bad shows.

Now, if they do this to those characters, what Hope could we ever have for andor? And indeed, a lot of people didn't even gave the show a chance. Star Wars pumped out a lot of product, with few peaks and a lot of pitfalls.

Star wars is a brand. Even for diehard fan, star wars is no longer something special. At the end of Andor, we will have 41 episodes of live action star wars in 3 years.

It's under the radar because Disney made shows that should have been good, but actively damaged the characters. It's under the radar because there's just a ton of Star Wars going around. It's under the radar because every criticism has been deflected towards race and gender rather than the actual quality. HOTD faced backlash because they changed the Velaryon, but people soon shut up because it was just good.

Disney made subpar products, insulted those who dare complain and trashed beloved character. Under those condition, it's a wonder there are so many people who even give this show a chance. Which is, admittely, a shame. Since andor is quite decent.
