Andor is probably the best star wars they’ve done. It has flaws, but it’s so much better than Obi-Wan and Ashoka.

What don’t get is why people think something like star wars can’t have different tones. It’s a big universe with a big story. Just because the originals were these scifi epics doesn’t mean a different story set in the universe can’t be grounded and dark. Like how 40k can be really goofy and stupid but also really serious and gritty. It depends on the specific story being told within the setting. Not the setting as a whole
