i thought andor was brilliant and i hope it inspires other showrunners what's possible in storytelling.

While I think Andor is the best Star Wars story and Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie, Andor has underperformed compared to other Star Wars streaming shows. Which is why the bulk of SW will be fan service and rehashing of the OT.

You think Rogue One is better than Empire Strikes Back ?

For me ESB is #1

Yeah, no question. I didn't even think Rogue One was that good, saying it's the best Star Wars movie is crazy talk

i think the shelf life is going to be longer on something like this just due to it's existence on a streaming platform. With your example as a metric of success Breaking Bad would never had reached the heights it did. If Tony Gilroy sticks the landing on season 2 and can give another compelling and satisfying conclusion, it'll only bolster the show and hopefully, a lineage of what's to come. The future isn't Grogu, but it's certainly the easiest sell, but the empty calories opened the doors this so, fingers crossed.
