You can blame Lucas all you want, but the writting has almost only gone downhill since he sold it. I will say Andor was great, but it was great because of how it diverged from typical Star Wars stories.
Say what you will about the worst parts of old star wars but it was rarely boring. Hell the holiday special aint boring at least nowadays its just batshit insane. Give it up for grandpa watching VR porn in the living room.
I still haven't picked it up, I dunno why. Maybe it has more appeal to those who followed the clone wars animated content but I'm just not that invested and nothing in the reveal excited me. Just seemed like more of the obi wan style show.
Stars Wars always had poor scenario, dialogues, unempressive acting and weak scifi. People who think it just got worse from the second trilogy are blinded by nostalgia. Star Wars value is rather in visual and audio production: planetes, species, costumes, space ships, music, sound design, visual fx etc ...
