    Is this a criticism of this Andor show I hear about? I don't bother watching any of these shows because everyone who said to me The Mandalorian was good was wrong. (short crit: set design, music, cinematography, etc were all good. plot? pointless. therefore: show pointless)

      Mandalorian was the best thing Disney had made so far, Andor is much better but you'd probably have the same criticism of the plot since we know how it all ends with Rogue One and the original trilogy.

        knowing how something ends isn't what makes it pointless, many of the best plays ever made were written knowing the audience knew the ending already. The point is to make the trip there interesting. Twist centric writing doesn't understand that shocking people is not the same as making something good. I enjoyed Rogue One, fully knowing the characters were going to die, because I found them interesting and enjoyed seeing them rise to the challenge and pout their life on the lines for what they cared about.

          this is true, and tbf I was guessing why @neo found the plot pointless

      I tried to stick with The Mandalorian but I had to bail out on the episode where they infiltrate an Imperial base as stormtroopers. Except Bill Burr isn't wearing a helmet and nobody seems to think that is unusual.

      Also gave Obi Wan a shot but I couldn't make it through 2 episodes. Fool me twice, never get fooled again.
