I like Andor a lot. I do feel though that every director? or whoever is trying to make their own niche, their own tattoo on Star Wars. This is so dark and getting darker I feel it's not the original 'premise'...'concept' of the original trilogy. I feel the first 3 films should be the hub and everything spiraling off of it should be consistent.

I agree with most of what you said, but have a slight quibble with this. Firstly, I’m really enjoying the different feel and tone of this. It’s a breath of fresh air to a stale franchise. They’ve stepped outside the formulaic trap they’ve been in recently. It feels grown up and well written with interesting character development. The bad guys have actual human traits that are relatable instead of being faceless, one- dimensional, evil doers. Secondly, if you watch old making-of interviews with George Lucas, he internationally made all three of the original movies a different style from each other. He wanted them all to have a different feel. So, this show being different from everything that’s gone before is actually keeping with the original trend.
