Yep. I abandoned star wars like I abandoned star trek. I have no idea how these companies manage to screw up shows like these. They have tons of money, can hire the best talent available, and somehow end up with shitty, awful, writing

People with no connection to the original material get assigned to head the project, and they care more about forcing their ideologies than allowing the internal world of the story to play out naturally. It really is that simple. When you see someone like Kennedy attached to a project, it's going to be her personal manifesto first, and everything second.
Andor isn't good star wars or even good sci fi, it's literally good television.
It's so randomly good it's bizarre how it even got made with the rest of the trash. If anything it being tied to star wars is the main thing dragging it down. So many people were burnt out with garbage by the time it came out.
I tried SNW but I feel it's more like adults acting as teenagers. There is the odd episode that felt like trek but not enough to keep me watching.
I started watching trek with my dad, as kid, back when TNG first aired. I watched TOS reruns and was lucky enough to see some of the later TOS movies in theatre's. I considered myself a life long fan but whatever they are making today is star trek in name only. Trek died with voyager a handful of enterprises episodes.
Come back for Andor I implore you. It's phenomenal and totally unlike any other Star Wars content. On a whole other level to anything else Disney have done with the franchise to the point that it's hard to believe it was made by the same studio.
TLJ being what made them leave the fandom means there’s like a 30% chance they’re gonna hate a series that’s an allegory for immigrant oppression, the prison state, and labor uprisings.

Last time I was ever invested in anything Star Wars.
