"Andor" is really the only best thing "War of the Starvers" that has made it since "The Empire is back". This is Bold, shaken, timely political thriller Place in the galaxy away, away. It works precisely because it is a grounding show that takes place in a large franchise as "Starwell War", bringing in timely soci -political comment in the well -established sand.

And yet, one of the most famous things for Andor is how it treats the rest of the Galaxy "War of Starvers", managing to connect with the whole franchise, while still opposing the urge to point out only any imagination of nonsense imagined and winking the audience. Each reference feels earned, and the show gives a significant context, rather than just making obvious homes. Whether it's creating ties to the "Starwell War" or just gives us an attractive wedding song that is a mega hit of the galaxy"Andor" makes the galaxy feel more connected without feeling forcible.

This is why it was very refreshing to realize that "Andor" never has the two biggest villains in the "Starwalks War": Darth Weider and Emperor Sheev "I'm the Senate" Palpatin.

Talking to Rolling stoneThe Creator and Show -Show Tony Gilroy referred to the lack of SITS in "Andor" and how deliberately it was. "No, (adding Wader to the show) has never been on my agenda," Gilroy said. "Writing for Darth Wyder is really limiting. I did it. He won't say much." Also, on the question of Palpatine, Gilroy simply said it was "too big a piece of meat for me to introduce it. It was too heavy lift. I was thinking about it at one point, but it was too heavy."

It is true that it has nothing to do with the character like Wyder in the show "Andor", where there is no EDI and the rebellion is not yet organized enough or open enough to be on the king's fist radar. But even if Gillroy considered it too big a piece of meat to present himself in the meat, the presence of palpatin felt very much during the two seasons of Andor. In the first season, we saw several meetings at the Imperial Security Bureau where Members of the ISB Board would talk about palpatine as if it were just a regular friend, What is funny. They do not treat him as an attractive emperor that we know who can shoot lightning from his fingers. For ISB, he is only a mortal with a lot of political power. No one knows about his true identity.

"One of the fascinating things I understood when I started the show at the very beginning is how many billions of creatures are in the galaxy," Gilroy continued. "Nobody knows about EDI. No one knows about SIT. It's just a small percentage of people who have a clue about it. It's not in culture. And I remember I'm really surprised as explained. I thought it was something everyone knew, but no, it's very secret and retail."

Really. The brilliance of "Andor" (like "Rogue One" before) is how even more mystified concepts of "war on the Starwalks" are needed, such as forces and EDI and SIT, and lowered them to the ground level. Palpatine is not a cartoon boy; He is a human dictator who is performing human evils. And we don't even have to see it to feel its power and its oppression.
