Skeleton Crew is genuinely well made and a blast, a riff on classic 80s kids, adventure films in the vein of Spielberg and Amblin, while Andor is basically prestige HBO drama levels of production, acting and writing quality. The greatest compliments I can give to both of them is that they are great television series that just happen to take place in Star Wars, and not just great because they take place in Star Wars, they are pretty standalone, stand on their own, don’t require you to be a fan of the franchise, and you don’t need to have any previous knowledge of other Star Wars TV or films to enjoy either of them or know what’s going on.
I understand your frustration with the recent output, but you are doing yourself a disservice by not at least checking them out just because all of the other recent projects have not been up to snuff or have been letdowns. As someone who has been a lifelong Star Wars fan and has even been even critical of most of the recent Star Wars projects, even ones that I found a modicum of enjoyment in, give them a shot. They are precious jewels in a heap of mass produced, cheaply made zirconia.
Mando season 3, Ahsoka and The Acolyte these or not. If Star Wars was this level of quality pretty much all of the time, we would be spoiled rotten.
