Can you imagine what "Revenge of the Jedi" would have been like on Kashyyk, with wookies instead of those stupid lame teddy bear ewoks? That could have been incredible, esp if he had hired another serious director (Kershner).

Feels like the last season was 4 years ago. They've made a lot of crap in between where I've said "Hey -- look at Andor, I KNOW you can make quality stuff! Why won't you?!?!"
I think why Andor worked was focusing on the people. Not X-wings and death stars but the people/species living in this universe.

That's what Mandolrian worked, we cared about the people, we got their back story and future plans etc.

Nah -- that's not it.

Because Obi Wan was about 'the people' and sucked all kinds of horrific ass. Ahsoka was very much character driven and also bad.

Many of Mandolorian's best moments ARE about X-Wings and light sabers.

It's both simpler and less complicated than that. It's not just that they wrote a story around characters -- they wrote a story about compelling characters and had even the secondary and tertiary parts played by excellent performers giving us complex and developed characters.

Both were amazing.

Sure not as good as Mando, but miles above The Acolyte.
