  • Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
  • Andor is a successful example of a Star Wars show without Jedi, focusing on the Empire's control and morally gray characters
  • Suggestions for new Star Wars show ideas include Pod Racing, Jawa Storage Wars, and One Man and His Droid, among others

Andor was written as a heist thriller that happens to occur in the Star Wars universe, that's why it's good. Same as Rogue One.

Andor had one heist arc, amid a broader story about radicalization and the creep of authoritarian power. It's a damned ambitious show. I'm so glad it exists.
