Why Andor Is the Star Wars Show We Needed

from The Blerd Wire · host The Blerd Wire

In this episode of The Blerd Wire, we break down the first half of Andor and why it’s striking a chord with longtime Star Wars fans—especially those who grew up on the prequels and The Clone Wars. Is Andor too slow for mainstream audiences, or is it the gritty, political Star Wars drama we’ve been waiting for? I share my generational perspective on Andor, Star Wars storytelling, and why Disney needs to rethink how it targets different fanbases.
