Leaked footage of season 2 from Star Wars Celebration 2023. Will probably be deleted from YouTube in a few minutes.

I actually have to disagree here. Most folks >40 (and many younger than that) would agree Andor is an objectively better show than regular SW. But while no space wizards were hurt during filming, knowing they exist allowed Andor to be what it is. This is a show about the little people living in the shadow of the holier-than-thou astronaut/race car driver/magician/samurai/diplomats who run the galaxy. And there were just enough references to remind you they're a factor - Perrin inviting Ars Dangor and Sly Moore to dinner (but never actually showing them), khyber crystals, Luthen and his space sith blades. Even "Kleia" (imitation Leia).
Cheesy SW lore had to happen off-screen so Andor could focus on grown up stuff without having to get its hands dirty.
I'm not a SW fan, frankly I dislike the franchise at this point, but I thought Andor was one of the best shows in years across all genres. Looking forward to a rewatch before S2.I'm watching this again and I'm still amazed at how good it is.
When I first watched it I gave it the attention I usually give Star Wars properties, which in this case was not nearly enough. This time I'm absorbing every second, because this show was built with the kind of care that demands and deserves it.
I've always said some properties should be interpreted by as many people as possible because that increases the chances someone will get it right. Gilroy got it right, and then some.
He doesn't care about Star Wars, he isn't married to the Skywalkers and all the cluttered fan service that mires every other project. He was handed a story and built the series as best he could, which turns out is pretty damned good.
I don't care for Mando, Boba, Obi-Wan or Ahsoka. I don't hate that they were made and I will watch every episode, but they weren't written for me. I'm pretty sure they're more successful than Andor because they tried to give people what they want and are basically kid shows.
Andor was definitely written for me and definitely NOT a kid's show. I hope this level of quality which is absolutely the highest ever produced in any Star Wars project is ultimately rewarded and repeated.
I didnt understand references lol

Honestly though I feel like so much of modern Starwars ignores the tone of the originals, even the first film whilst its a fantasy adventure is full of brutality and very adult banter and Empire Strikes Back which I think really gave the franchise a lot of its depth is quite a dark adult film with the odd it of humour to it. The only Starwars which really matches the tone of the sequel films very well for me is the Ewok section of Jedi and even that I feel was more successful due to Fords talent for comedy.I'm watching this again and I'm still amazed at how good it is.
