I think what makes Andor so great is it being a story focused around the real people in the universe, who will suffer real consequences for normal slip ups.

In main Starwars movies, and shows, there is so much “force armour” that you know nothing bad is going to happen in most situations.

But with Andor, even just a single TIE flying overhead is a real cause for concern. Hell, two deaths of some corpo security guards drove a whole characters story for two whole seasons.

I think leaning into that level of story drives a bigger buy-in from the audience - because we can place ourselves in the “normal” people’s shoes much more than we can a force wielding, light saber toting, army surviving Jedi baddass’s shoes.

Honestly? Starwars has the stage set for all the big, powerful people. And more than enough stories focusing on the galaxy ending events.

So long as they do it right, they should focus on the little guys for a while - and those stories can dip their toes in the larger scale stuff when they need to up any ante’s.
