On the other hand Andor is up there as one of the best shows ever created
Andor could be a stand alone series it barely registers as star wars, to the point where some people think it was an adapted spy thriller script.
That's how a lot of episodes of Star Trek worked. They would adapt SciFi short stories to the Star Trek universe. It's a great way to both get great stories and support authors. I don't think the "short story" publishing machines still run, unfortunately.
Heck, now that I think of it, there was actually a DS9 episode about a short story publishing company.
"As time goes by, it becomes clear that [Disney] only greenlit something as good as Andor by accident."
