Andor is the first time the Star Wars universe has ever been interesting to me because it's the first series to actually frame it as the North Vietnamese versus the Americans and explore imperialism. They do a good job of making it not feel like Star Wars and avoiding all the tropes that make it so boring compared to Star Trek.
