I think general burn out from average to terrible starwars products have got us to point when a decent show does turn up few can be bothered to stick past its very slow opening episodes, followed by some more slow build up for the heist mini arc (which is fine by me, i enjoyed ep4 to 6).

Throw into the mix the gang doesn't get along, half of them are **** scared, Andor has to earn some modicum of trust with them, you have all the set up by the officer which left me wondering which bit of theplan will be the domino that doesn't fall, we get a short very fatal gun fight, the kid comes through for them all at the cost of his life and reveal from the antagonist dude giving Andor morale and tense decision, steal it all and risk getting backstabbed by the back stabber or kill him and get out of dodge, also like that there was no misunderstanding between him and women afterwards.

Personally thought it was solid, not amazing by any means, but not bad. The characters all got time to shine and you get to know them. The photography was consistently spot on with the heist being particularly well shot.

Watched all of Andor, and immediately felt the need to watch Rogue One right after.
I know Rogue One had characterisation problems, but still... Rogue One and Andor are now my favourite Star Wars film/TV media outside of the original movies.
So for me, it goes...
Original Trilogy
<gap>
Andor
Rogue One
The Mandalorian
<gap>
Prequel Trilogy
Solo
<gap>
Obi-Wan
<long gap>
<longer gap>
Sequel trilogy
Boba Fett (didn't care to finish it)
<huuuuuge gap>
Specifically Rise of Skywalker; I think it's the absolute nadir
Should note here that I haven't seen Rebels, Clone Wars or much else of the animated content.

We're very slow at rewatching stuff, I know I'm way off consensus with this but for me it's:
Original Trilogy
Sequel Trilogy
Rogue One
Obi-Wan
Solo
Mandalorian
Prequel Trilogy
Still not gotten around to Boba Fett and whilst we intend to watch Andor it feels a bit disjointed to do so without Season 02 bridging the gap. Star Wars storylines are incredibly rarely good so it's all about fun and entertainment for the most part for me, how close they fall to simple adventure tales like the OT. The prequels are the absolute worst at this and whilst Rise has its issues it's lively and a bit of a rollercoaster film compared to the likes of Mando which can be crushingly slow and repetitive.

Just I reflected on it this weekend, when I watched Rogue One after Andor, and upon coming back to the Disney+ front-end and seeing the list of movies, I realised that I would watch the prequels before the sequels, and then I realised that, with the exception of The Force Awakens (which is by far my favourite of those three), I would always watch the prequels before the sequels, if you gave me the choice. I haven't really thought all that much about why at this point.
