Why Andor Season 1 is the Star Wars We Deserve
When Andor premiered on Disney+, it quietly redefined what a Star Wars series could be. It wasn’t flashy, it didn’t lean on nostalgia or fan service, and it didn’t rely on Jedi or Sith to carry its weight. Instead, it delivered a grounded, mature, and deeply compelling story about rebellion, sacrifice, and the human cost of fighting tyranny. As I eagerly anticipate Season 2 (April 22nd), it’s worth reflecting on why Andor Season 1 is not just great Star Wars, but one of the finest television series in recent memory.
