"He Doesn't Have A Lot To Say": Why Darth Vader Isn't In Andor (& Where He Is During The Show)

Andor season 2 is set during the Dark Times of the Empire's reign, and yet there's a good reason Darth Vader isn't in the show. Tony Gilroy's Andor is often described as Star Wars' best TV show, but it's like nothing else we've seen before. Most Star Wars stories are focused on Jedi and the Sith, but Andor is different; it's all about the nascent Rebel Alliance, exploring what it looks like to fight the Empire on the ground level.
