Andor does politics the way Lucas wished he could have.
The plot points in the prequels were interesting. The script, direction, and acting were all horrific. It makes me really sad to think of what the prequels could have been if they'd been like Andor.
He originally wanted someone else to direct them. Sometimes I dream of what they could have been if he succeeded in getting another director to pick up the mantle , and that director also brought along a good scriptwriter. We know a lot of those people can act, so I bet with proper direction and writing, they could have actually been good.

Serious agreement. A better director, and to be fair to Lucas, a director than wasn't busy dealing with all the new special effect technology, and a bit of work on the script to sell Anakin's fall to the dark side a bit better and we would have had a solid trilogy.
Haha exactly. Let Lucas do what he wanted to do, which is clearly focus on the new special effects technology, helping with alien and monster creation maybe, and being a kind of universe bible on set. Everything else I would've let this hypothetical other director and writer team handle. I'm so frustrated with what could've been now lol.
