Andor was something special. It took audiences by surprise in 2022 by being completely unlike its fellow Disney+ Star Wars shows, narratively, tonally, and stylistically. Creator Tony Gilroy had taken a Rogue One prequel and made it a Jedi-less exploration of how and why people rebel in the face of oppression, complete with thrilling set pieces, blistering monologues, and a three-episode arc on the prison-industrial complex.
