“Nobody” is watching Andor because I’m sick of having to understand a catalog of back stories before I can figure out what the f is going on in each Star Wars story. I don’t know who the characters are and I don’t care because the writers are too lazy to even remotely sketch them out for someone who isn’t a super fan.
Pedantic internet trolls have ruined story telling with their obsessive canon discussions of every possible show created. It’s an f’ing fantasy ok? It can be whatever the f it wants to be.
And don’t even get me started on Baby Yoda. Don’t show me a baby Yoda week after week and then get mad at me when I point and say “look it’s a baby Yoda”.

I mean, based on your first paragraph you would love the show. No backstories needed besides that there is a bad empire fucking over the galaxy.

lol you are in luck. This show has literally nothing to do with any Jedis or lightsabers or Skywalkers. Nothing to do with Episodes 1, 2, or 3. And it takes place before Episode 4, and before Rogue One, so you don't need to see anything that takes place after that (Mandalorian, Boba Fett, etc)
Of all the Star Wars shows and movies it's probably the one you can jump into most without knowing anything else.
I'd even suggest people watch it before any other Star Wars tv show or movie as it sets the stage and the stakes for the entire rest of the universe before watching them

The great thing about Andor is that you basically don't have to know anything about Star Wars to understand it. My wife has seen 2 movies and some of Mando, and she loved it. Andor is a relatively unknown character and there isn't a single other central character that was previously introduced in any piece of Star Wars (other than Mon Mothma on a fairly forgettable scene)
