It is a fantastic exploration of how fascism comes into being and, unfortunately, very timely. It's a great story that happens to use the setting of the Star Wars universe as a vehicle because that fall into authoritarianism was already built into the arc.
You've got the Vader scene all misunderstood by the one assumption that he had a clue what he was looking for, only that somewhere on that ship the Rebels had something that showed plans. Want to really take a logical jump? Then Vader should have just blown up all the ship then and there, then gone after the few that did get away (and might have had plans too). But see, that's one of the messages in Andor... the arrogance of control is often its own enemy. Hell, even in Kenobi, that point was made and utilized (you probably aren't a fan of that either).
It's fine if you don't partake. I just think you're doing it because you got a bad taste from one thing and assume it's all the same.
A bad taste from one thing and a complete lack of trust in the show runner.
He's not interested in Star Wars, I am. That's the key difference.
I'm sure it's very good for what it is, but it's not Star Wars.
It would be like if someone told me "Oh, you like salads? Man, I have a great salad recipe, you take chicken breast, cut it into pieces, marinate it in soy sauce overnight and then grill it. Take an onion bun, paint one side with peanut sauce, the other side with hoisin sauce, pile it up with shredded cabbage and carrots and cover with Thai sweet chili sauce, top it with the chicken. It's great!"
"Yeah, but what you describe is a sandwich, not a salad."
"Well, you know, I never liked salads, I have no reverence for them."
(it is an AWESOME sandwich though)
That analogy doesn’t apply at all. It’s more like if a chef says, “I don’t particularly care about salads, but here’s a salad I made,” and hands me the most delicious salad I’ve ever had. I would enjoy the hell out of it and not complain that it doesn’t count as a salad because he’s not a salad fan
Except what Gilroy produced isn't Star Wars. 😉
