It seems almost impossible that this show is as good as it is.

Yeah, amidst the dross that DIsney is otherwise making of established franchises, this series and the performances therein absolutely shone.

Almost as impossible as how good this show is, is convincing people to watch it.
Most of the people I tell about Andor hear Star Wars, and dismiss it out of hand. It almost couldn’t be less Star Wars, not a laser sword to be found, but the association makes the recommendation difficult, at least in my experience.

More importantly, no Jedis. Resistance to fascism isn’t the exclusive job of a select genetic few with magical microscopic life forms in their veins, but everyone’s task and obligation.

What I liked about it, was it felt like the old West End RPG. Where you were basically clandestine rebel operatives sneaking into Imperial bases and such. At least that is how I ran my games.
Maybe.

I know that looks a lot like a laser sword, but since you can’t see the ends, it could just be a continuous beam, slicing distant planets in half…
