I can’t say I regret it exactly, because it was good, but it sent me down a rabbit hole of nostalgia, which is something I don’t know that I like as much, because there’s nowhere for it to go. Disney releases slop. The fandom is toxic. The chances of something new and exciting happening are slim.

I can’t even say Andor is amazing, because for all of the smart things it does, I have become, in my own way, like the toxic fans who say this or that ruined Star Wars. (Obviously, Andor has not ruined Star Wars.) Because I never felt like I was watching the Cassian Andor I loved from Rogue One, so now I’m left hanging with this nostalgia for what the character meant to me almost ten years ago and I can’t recapture that feeling.
