This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

As someone who hates all of star wars outside of the original trilogy (and the Dark Forces and Tie Fighter games, those kick ass), and even then, is sick to death of the trilogy and the star wars IP as a whole; please watch Andor.
It's just incredible sci-fi that happens to take place in star wars, and it's extremely relevant to our current times in a way no other show has really captured. It's extremely well written, shot, scored, acted... It's probably my favorite sci-fi thing ever, not just my favorite star wars media, and I'm a picky bastard.
It was so good I bought a bluray of it. It was even good enough to make me curious if the Mandalorian was comparable (it was not, not even close).
I really, strongly recommend you give it a shot despite the star wars label, I'd recommend sailing the high seas or grabbing the bluray of season 1 to avoid needing a Disney+ subscription.
Hmm. High praise. I'll give it some consideration. Ha!
I'll happily vouch for it too. The writing is emotional, well acted and painfully poignant in our current world, to the point that I'm surprised Disney even let them make the commentary they did. It could easily stand alone divorced from the Star Wars setting.
Yeah Andor is probably the best of what Disney has done
