Powerlessness in the face of fascism and the first steps to resisting by not really a surprise 08/22/2025, 12:37pm PDT
It's the banality of evil coupled with the first steps to digging the populace out of acceptance into resistance. Conspiracy meets The White Rose transplanted to the mid stage Empire in Star Wars. Those are both excellent films and Andor is excellent writing.

It is a more grounded Rogue One that was written by actual adults. It could have been any generic future dystopia setting and didn't have to be Star Wars. Rogue One was desperately trying to be grimdark "Not your daddy's Star Wars". Andor's focus is just naturally that tone.

If you hate bleak material regardless of quality, you will not like it. If you're expecting it to turn into classic Star Wars, you will not like it. But it is the good kind of bleak, the kind of comes from a well written sense of helplessness as opposed to the wallowing slop of Star Trek Picard/Discovery.
