    Andor is a political thriller and I like it for that. If George wanted star wars to expend as you say, I think it was a great choice. It is a series that will age well, I am sure.

    Rogue one is by far one of my favorite Star Wars as it leads right into A New Hope. They did a fantastic job with it. Andor has the same flavor and style. Love that timeline Andor , Rogue One , New Hope

      Meg recommended watching the animated shows and I took her advice. I was not disappointed. Some of the Clone Wars was very good and I liked all of Rebels. I wasn't thrilled by the prequels, so I just ignored the animated stuff. It was my loss. But, yeah, I was pretty pumped for the sequel trilogy. It wasn't the greatest but it was a lot better than a whole lot of nothing.

    I'm very much looking forward to Andor season 2. I loved the first season. Loved the darker, grittier political thriller behind the scenes aspect. There's no reason SW can't have both adult stories and also do things for kids. It doesn't need to try to appeal to everyone and end up working for very few.

    George did have some input into TFA as Keira was his original character who later became Rey. JJ Abrams has said so himself that he and Larry Kasdan consulted with him. And that came before Rogue One. George Lucas was at the premiere of both of those films.
    After that Rian Johnson didn’t consult anyone and was given free rein over TLJ, which I obviously thought was a mistake.
    And then Collin Trevorrow also didn’t consult anyone when writing the original scripts for TROS. And when it was handed over to JJ Abrams again, there was a lot of “input” and things he couldn’t change in it already and he was given very little time to turn it around. He didn’t get time to consult others and I’m sure at that point they wanted nothing to do with the whole thing. Larry was “done” with it after TLJ (he hated that movie) and how it affected Solo and of course George Lucas was also “done” by then.

    Since both the original and prequels trilogy were political (GL was very anti-Vietnam war and you can see that in the OG trilogy) I can't see why the maker would have any issue with Andor being political too. Andor may be grittier than the source material but like you said, GL wanted Disney to expand.

      If he wants to. It could be he doesn't want to get back in. If you had an established career, didn't need money or prestige from Disney or Lucasfilm, would you want to jump into this meat grinder called Star Wars? It's the closest thing to a thankless job there is in Hollywood. Think about it; when's the last time an A list actor jumped into one of these things and it benefit them? Jude Law is about to find out. If they're not already signed on or need the money, I don't see these people getting involved anymore. Not right now any way.

    I wish that George Lucas never sold Lucasfilm to Disney, it's been so severely mishandled at times ever since then. I understand that he has pointed out that he is getting older. Also, I have read that it isn't easy for him to finance the films. But I'd be willing to bet it's quite possible, and could be done.
    He wouldn't have to be the actual creator of the content. He would only have to approve the content. If Lucas could have simply surrounded himself with a competent team he could have acted only as his company's CEO. Things could have been so much sweeter, likely less of it, but sweeter. I'd be more interested in quality than quantity.
