[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9394599, member: 18"] Andor works if you didn't like or watch Rogue One - I know because I have friends who fall into both categories (and I fall into the first), and loved Andor. naughty word one of my friends had never intentionally watched anything Star Wars-related before and loved Andor (I don't think he's even seen all of any of the movies, only bits and bobs when they were on TV). However, its ending will essentially be Rogue One, so presumably they will all end up watching that and going "Why is this so crap compared to Andor?!" (because god love it, Rogue One is not a good movie on any level except possibly visual design/style, and even then only if you ignore some incredibly awful CGI, which was done with the dumbest possible approach to CGI). They really need to let Tony Gilroy "do a Lucas" to Rogue One and see if he can punch it up a bit further without reshoots, just by re-editing, re-scoring, redoing CGI, and so on. Also the general point is certainly correct. Obi-Wan is a pretty bad TV show that only works at all if you care about Obi-Wan, Leia, etc. from the movies, and Ahsoka is an even worse example because it actively eschews explaining or contextualizing stuff for new viewers, and just expects you to have watched either all of, or a significant amount of, Rebels, a kid-oriented TV show which ended 6 years ago, and is kind of just a sequence of bizarre events if you didn't.
