After George Lucas sold STAR WARS to Disney, the space adventure saga lost its identity as this epic larger-than-life space opera rooted in mythology and imagination.
STAR WARS must follow certain rules established by George Lucas. It's the camera, the music, the sets, the costumes, the actors, the style of the dialogues, the aliens & creatures, etc. Everything within STAR WARS is very structured so that when you look at the screen, you immediately know that you are in a galaxy far far away, that this is STAR WARS and no other film.
Andor looks and feels like it's set in a completely different universe, or that it's some kind of weird dystopian sci-fi set on planet Earth, where the characters salvaged whatever old weapons and uniforms they could find. Everything in Andor looks off. The aesthetics and the style of STAR WARS are gone. The imagination is gone. Even when you put away the fact that the elements of STAR WARS are not there and it's just a brand name stamped onto some medieval-looking TV show, it's too boring to watch. There is no story to follow, the conversations are dull and empty.
We are stuck with watching the Empire vs the Rebels narrative forever, there is nothing new and exciting. At Disney, they don't understand STAR WARS. George Lucas created an exciting space fantasy adventure filled with exotic planets and strange exotic creatures and aliens and infused it with so many mythological, spiritual, psychological & political themes and he worked very hard to always make it new. Without him, STAR WARS is gone. No imagination, no creativity, and the lack of understanding of the building blocks of STAR WARS is the main reason why we are getting this kind of content from Disney and it hurts ...... especially if you are a STAR WARS fan who truly understood George Lucas's vision.
