Best star wars content, movie or show, since Lucas sold out to the mouse. Well deserved.
I agree, but sometimes one can encounter trekkies and other dubious types pretending it's better than prequels or even OT, that is too much.
Andor is way better than the prequels, honestly people who venerable those movies are giving them more credit than they deserve. Makes me feel like they got too lost in the sauce since /r/prequelmemes blew up.
Prequels are weird, not bad. What people criticize about them can be said about Babylon V even more, but I haven't seen many people calling it a bad show.
I'm not impartial - I've grown on "prequel EU" as much as on "original EU", but started with the former, trying to really interpret Jedi philosophy and such. My brain is not agile enough to separate pieces of EU and their closest movies by now.
But there's that moment that with prequels the EU and the movies were being created simultaneously, there were official layers of canon and Lucas himself would even refer to EU. So - I don't know. Maybe as self-contained movies they are bad. Their aesthetic gave me a lot, their emotion feels more real than Andor's second season (its first season is better though), their music.
Why, I am a dubious type, thank you for noticing. 😘
It's better than the prequels, IMO.
Smurfs 2 is better than the prequels
