I started watching Andor three days ago and it seems awesome.

I am not a Star Wars fan. I got introduced to the franchise much later in my life and I didn't like it. Most of it was just straight up trash. There is a lot of nice world building, the soundtracks are usually awesome but the storylines have usually sucked. There is a universe spanning imperial empire at war with its opponents so bulk of the stories revolving around space Harry Potters seems out of place.

But Andor seems really good so far. I am three or four episodes in. But it does a very good job of showing a well thought out scenario involving an imperial empire/corporation, their occupation of a place, the dynamic between the oppressor's armed "security" wing's counterinsurgency and some measures the locals have cobbled up to deal with them.

No nostalgia bait? No Skywalkers? No dead character from older trilogies suddenly coming back to life? This is pretty good so far. If this turns out good all the way I will give Mandalorian a shot too.

It’s my favorite piece of Star Wars media put out this side of the millennium (though I do typically enjoy the Disney slop shoot me)
