Sure, that's going to appeal to some people, clearly. But I'm sure the broader story that starts from episode 4 would have much wider appeal. It just takes so long getting there.
I especially hated the backstory on the Jungle planet. Could have been condensed to a couple scenes and if the rest is relevant, then save it for the future when it becomes relevant. Really kills an already slow show tempo in the first few episodes.
yeah, that's partly my point. I was a huge star wars nerd in high school. The movies killed that interest for me, with the exception of Rogue One. So I had no reason to believe Andor would be that good.
It basically made up for all the crappy movies so far.

Yeah, that's exactly my point. Episode 1 and 2 are so dull, that I stopped watching. Episode 4 onwards are nothing like it.
