"Andor" is a "Star Wars" story like no other. It's a grounded and bleak drama about radicalization and oppression, a show that finally lets us experience the true evils of the Empire, and a show that illustrates why the Rebellion was necessary. Though it still connected to the rest of the "Star Wars" franchise, "Andor" didn't pander to fan service that felt forced in order to tease some grander plan.
Arguably the highlight of the first season (which also features phenomenal outings like the heist episode) is the prison arc on Narkina 5. This is the most self-contained arc of the season, as it has no direct impact on the larger plot — least of all compared to the Aldhani heist, which brings Cassian Andor's actions to the Empire's attention. And yet, this is the arc that changes everything, not only for Cassian and the show at large, but for the galaxy itself.
