Andor was great because disney didnt oversee the production. The Gilroy bros were allowed to just make. They filmed in real locations. Had actual characters with personalities. The bad guys seemed like a threat and not just bland targets.
When disney oversees production the entire set is CGI (“the volume”). All the characters are very bland and vanilla to appeal to the most amount of people. Antagonist are narrow and usually a joke in terms of a threat.
I haven’t really looked into this series and how much disney is forcing the hand of the director.
That, and it was a good story set in the Star Wars universe rather than a Star Wars story where entire universe is the same 3 characters and their friends - every. goddamn. time.

Creating new characters is just sooo hard in an entire universe. /s
