    It's basically a space western / lone wolf and cub in Star Wars. I think the main appeal of it comes from it being the 1st SW TV show, and the mystery of how it will fit into existing canon, which is all very fan service adjacent stuff. IMO it is no where as good as Andor. There's a bit of world building around the Mandolorians, but that's mostly in the same category. Basically, if you were really into the KotOR games, you might enjoy enough. If you aren't into SW universe canon etc, probably not worth it.

      Damn. If only they had andor level of quality for all of star wars. I really like the star wars universe as a backdrop for this, it's pretty great imo. Just so wasted on kids shows

        I have a friend that likes to compare SW and Star Trek, saying that SW is more 'realistic' because it is less utopian. I really hope Andor cracks open a whole new crop of TV shows in the vein of David Simon style stuff.
