Andor first impressions: Star Wars inches toward the best of modern adult TV

At its worst, Star Wars: Andor is a sanded-off, PG-13 version of some of the best TV dramas of the past decade. It's easy to see traces of The Wire , Lost , and Breaking Bad in this story of Star Wars -adjacent scum and villainy. However, as you might suspect, such nuanced TV inspirations can only go so far in a franchise that regularly features chirping droids and action figure tie-ins.
At its best, though, Andor plays out like no other Star Wars film or TV entry to date, and it bodes well for the series' post-Skywalker future. Andor flexes its adult-ish aspirations to better resemble the gritty content that has made series sidebars like comics, novels, and video games beloved. While its momentum takes a little too long to kick in, enough quality coalesces by the end of the series' first 100 minutes to make it a worthy recommendation for fans of compelling sci-fi television, let alone Star Wars loyalists.

This series "follows" the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story the only way Lucasfilm really could: by building a prequel out of its likable anti-hero Cassian Andor. (Spoiler alert: If this series had been a direct timeline sequel to that film, it would, uh, include far fewer characters.) Since his name's in the title, Andor features as the star, and the events rewind to both his biggest adult and childhood adventures.

Star Wars content flurry confirmed: New Disney+ series, film updates

When it comes to learning about new Star Wars content, there's really no beating a massive, feature-length look behind the curtain at Lucasfilm and Disney. This month's launch of the simply named Obi-Wan Kenobi series has proven a good occasion to get such a peek, thanks to a sweeping—and at times, frank—documentation of all things Star Wars from Vanity Fair .
The article primarily follows the lead actors of Disney+'s four upcoming live-action Star Wars series, though it also covers the IP's apparently rocky path away from feature-length films and toward serialized TV content (though, yes, it does get to films by the end). It includes an acknowledgment from Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy that the company's constant return to the old well, which has included a recast Han Solo and a CGI-tinged Luke Skywalker, isn't sustainable. When pressed about those attempts, she replied, "Now it does seem so abundantly clear that we can’t do that."
So while the new May 27 Obi-Wan series will return to popular characters and their original actors, the upcoming Disney+ material announced here leans toward expansions of characters who don't necessarily date back to the original 1977 film. 2023's Ahsoka will focus on the popular character from Clone Wars and reintroduced on The Mandalorian , and its premiere season will focus on a "continuous story" that will almost certainly involve the character's refrain of hunting grand admiral Thrawn.
