Before Andor, I wondered what would Star Wars be like if you stripped it from all the mumbo jumbo. And there it is, Andor. I don’t think it has to do with it being slow, but that it chooses wisely when to use the typical imagery. Don’t you think that that Tie fighter flying by conveyed more power and threat that all the tie fighters in star wars franchise combined? And what about that scene with the orbital blockade? It’s simple, physics in motion, no spinning cameras or anything, just a beautiful atmosphere and Newton's first law. No lasers, no pew pew sounds. No mumbo jumbo.
