Among a great cast and crew, the unsung heroes of "Andor" are its writer Dan Gilroy and composer Nicholas Britell. The first one has created smart SW characters and intertwined them into a surprisingly absorbing story, the second one added soul and raw emotions to the story as it unfolds in front of our eyes.
"Andor", to me, is doing the impossible. It's making me interested in Star Wars again. Yes, Grogu is great, but The Mandalorian (2019)'s simple storytelling doesn't keep me very engaged. With "Andor", we get a behind-the-scenes peak that's more akin to The Wire (2002) than any previous SW iteration. Until now, I didn't know this was exactly what I wanted.
