Star Wars should learn from Andor and stop making Disney Plus shows that are so obsessed with the Jedi - eviltoast
Forget the Force and lightsabers – give me more Andor, Imperial security intrigue, and political/spy machinations.
  • Star Wars Disney Plus shows should move away from Jedi-centric stories and explore other aspects of the Star Wars universe
