Andor is one of the better shows I've seen - ever. Their Star Wars offerings in general have been very well put together.

Back in my day, we were waited 15 years for more Star Wars content, then immediately regretted it and asked what we'd been doing with our lives.

The Star Wars shows are very bland and generic plots with Star Wars layered on top (at least the ones I’ve watched). They aren’t very good as shows if you aren’t instantly wowed just by the fact that they are in the SW universe.

it really is an amazing show. I hope it does very well. However I can forsee two groups; the first, who won't watch because "it's star wars and i'm not into star wars"; the second, "i like star wars but this show doesn't have any light sabers or jedis or the force - why would i watch it?? boring!"

Or, someone could be so burnt out on the dozens of new Star Wars offerings (representing hundreds of hours of wildly-varying quality video) that they've given up on it.

Ditto Marvel.

I like your contrasting SW with Marvel here.

I'm not into SW and less into Marvel (I'm repulsed by ubiquitousness).

That said, I found Mandalorian, Boba Fett and Andor all enjoyable; I'm guessing because they stand pretty much alone.

Likewise, I dig Pennyworth and Legion. I was well into watching both before I realized they were Marvelesque. Less Marvel seems to be my favorite Marvel.

What about the other 99.999% of their content?

I imagine most viewers only watch .001% of everything they have access to; the rest of it would be properly irrelevant.

That makes sense!
