Believe it or not I played that game recently. It was good. I don't watch TV shows or movies but I don't mind video games and books.All new stuff just bores me. It feels like Marvel movies. I tried Mando and Boba but couldn't get into it. Kenobi started ok but got worse as it went along and felt pointless. Haven't seen Andor. I think a lot of it is also burn-out factor. We are just spammed with stuff now which can dilute the mystery to it all.
The best Star Wars content in recent times was the game Jedi: Fallen Order. Great story, characters and emotion (some of the Kenobi story was ripped off from that game). It has a sequel about to release which I am excited for
yeah i liked andor, it was distant enough from the starwars plot so as the actual plot in the season itself was pretty entertaining. finished with just enough curioisity surrounding it.Disagree, it’s back. It was back with Mando. I also lovvvvvved Andor, those blade runner vibes
Andor is very distinctive for Star Wars content. Andor is a more techno dystopia/blade runner/spy show that focuses on the greyness of the Empire and Rebellion without the overt presence of force users, while the Mando really fits the original space western vibe that was present in the New Hope movie. Mando has the occasional filler episode, but is really good if you liked the original trilogy.Just started watching Andor (4 episodes in) Big fan. Any other recommendations on similar type shows? Here the mandalorian is also quite good?
Thanks mate. Any other star wars tv spin offs or similar you could recommend?Andor is very distinctive for Star Wars content.

Really depends on what tickles your fancy. Plus I am quite biased in what I like and don't like, so a grain of salt.Thanks mate. Any other star wars tv spin offs or similar you could recommend?

The Book of Boba Fett is similar to the Mandalorian as a space western, but not as good (still very watchable, but has its issues as a show). Almost entirely set on Tatooine. Would help to watch the first two season of Mando before watching this show as the two tie together. 7/10
Obi Wan Kenobi is heavily focused on the fallout from the Revenge of the Sith. Its strengths lie in the performances from Ewen McGregor and Hayden Christensen, but suffers from treating Obi as a secondary character in his show, a slowish start and some questionable character development. Vader is very strong and brutal in this show and the lightsaber battles are very good. 7.5/10
Animated Shows (not sure if that's your thing):
- As a general rule, the animated stuff fills out a lot of the extra lore stuff that is missed in the main movies.
- Star Wars Visions contains short episodes which fill out a few gaps from the prequel movies. For example, it spends a lot of time on Count Dooku as a Jedi and why he fell to the darkside and formed the separatists.
- The Clone Wars starts off very kiddy and gradually grows into a really good show that fleshes out the Clones. Would only recommend if you were really interested in what happens between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
- Only watch the Bad Batch if you watched the Clone Wars. Made, animated and voiced by the same people as Clone Wars.
- Wouldn't bother with Rebels and Resistance as they are very kiddy, but each have their moments.
What makes it unique for me is the consistent, well acted, and well written characters. There is a believability to Andor that does not exist almost anywhere else in Star Wars fiction.The lack of the mystical and the force in Andor is what makes it very unique. Very influenced by blade runner, techno dystopia and Tom Clancy themes.
I have watched all of Rebels (mostly for Thrawn), but it just didn't hold my attention the way Clone Wars did.Rebels is actually incredibly interesting and has a strong say on what we are seeing on the small screen. There are a lot of force-related topics and it shows how the empire starts to pervade the galaxy. Just need to get through the first half of the first season, because it gets a lot more serious and it goes through. Plus it has some pretty crazy battle with Vader, Maul, Obi-Wan etc.
Visions is actually a collection of independent stories outside the normal SW sandbox. Tales of the Jedi is the one with Dooku which was again a great little piece of star wars lore.
I find the animation provides a lot of time to expand the galaxy, particularly how the Empire/Republic affects the greater galaxy. Much in the same way we see it in Andor and starting to see aspects of that in Mando.
Definitely some weaker ones, but I just enjoyed the different animation styles.Visions was hit and miss for me. Couple of the story's I thought were terrible especially the droid jedi one on the other hand the ones that focused on the jedi or sith were actually not bad.
some of those "filler" episodes tend to weave back into the storyline later onAndor is very distinctive for Star Wars content.

its a plot that could have been consistant with any of the recent conflicts of our times.What makes it unique for me is the consistent, well acted, and well written characters. There is a believability to Andor that does not exist almost anywhere else in Star Wars fiction.
Also, the triple story environments between the ISB, Andor, and the Senator are done so well - I never think to myself that I want to get back to the Andor bit when it cuts to the Senator or the ISB - they spent the kind of time to develop the different characters and environments that while yes it feels slow to start, before long every episode cannot help but be good because they are all very engaging.
The whole less is more is also brilliantly done here, because when you do start seeing typical 'star wars' type space stuff, it really impacts.
Huge fan.
