Not just that; Tales of the Jedi was PEAK Star Wars. I don't care what people say about Andor, it may have been well-written, but it wasn't "Star Wars enough". SW at it's finest balances great story/characters and fun action. Tales of the Jedi had a beautifully written and engaging arc with young Dooku, but they still made sure to give us an awesome duel against Yaddle. From what I'm seeing, Tales of the Empire will do the same.

Honestly it's perfect for Star Wars. All the Star Wars animated projects never fail to keep me hooked. Can't say the same for the live-action ones I'm afraid. It's sad because a lot of people don't take animation seriously. They are definitely missing out on some peak Star Wars

Except for Andor. But Andor didn't really feel like a Star Wars show. I can't say it could have done just as well as it's own thing, since many of it's plot points require context and dramatic irony on the part of the viewer, but it definitely felt detatched.

[@zanfear]

@@eyesack6845 Yup, Andor sure doesn't feel like Star Wars. Not a single alien or droid amongst the heist crew, nor any aliens in the prison (which to be fair they perhaps kept as human only). And I think they maybe showed 1 alien on that main planet (the big one who was told to stand there to look menacing)? In the animated shows and Mandoverse shows there are aliens galore.

[@eyesack6845]

@@zanfear Well, to be fair, most of the live action star wars things don't have many aliens, and certainly not alien characters. I'm guessing the props, costumes, and effects eat up the budget big time. Still, I love Andor. It makes the Rebellion feel like a real thing, and treats it like it is - a terrorist organization. It doesn't dumb it down for the kiddies like every other piece of star wars (except rogue one). And the writing is flawless. (Edit: Not flawless. The plotline where cassian is looking for his sister is underdeveloped and sidelined. Possibly because it'll be explored in season two, so I can't judge it too harshly.)
