I appreciate the write up and mostly agree (especially for the animated shows), I have more love for R1 than you seem to but I disagree on E8 or E9, but thats the fun part about subjective film opinions.

I find TLJ/E8 insultingly bad, to me its "attempts to subvert expectations" is the worst case of Disney giving a giant middle finger to IP they have absorbed, and rubbing it in because they own the rights to them. TRoS/E9 by extension is just sad... Its the prime example of "written by committie". Bringing JJ back to save a sinking ship without a captian almost worked, but the scars of post production changes and a non-functional conculsion left me in that same nostalgic rut that the sequal trilogy started in.

Heres to hope that Andor S2 respects the audience, and its setting as much as S1 did.
