Been watching Andor and can't help thinking how great it would be if the series just kept going and retold the entire star wars saga without any mention of jedis and lightsabers and magical force powers

Tell me about the skirmishes and uprisings , the true believers and the mercenaries. Show me the galaxy , show me the stormtroopers who lose their fanaticism , show me pragmatic deals and double crosses ….. without hokey religions and ancient weapons .
Foundation was based on a pretty magical premise of a guy who could perfectly predict the future for 30,000 years. They called it "math," but it might as well have been the Force.
Yup. I like what they did with the Emperor(s), but hated them making characters turn out to be relatives, and introducing that certain special people have future visions like this was Dune, was the absolute worst.
I get the sentiment…but you literally cannot remove the force out of anything in Star Wars. Rogue One has regular “force sensitives” playing important roles in the rebellion like Chirrut. Leia in the movies is more “force sensitive”. Maz in later episodes. The force is impossible to exclude.
Half of Chirrut’s dialogue is him insisting that the Force is real while Baze tells him it’s a bunch of made-up bullshit. That’s what makes it so entertaining. We the audience know it’s real, but an in-universe skeptic arguing with someone who may or may not even be Force sensitive is hilarious.
Agreed. I loved that cast & movie. I am PERFECTLY fine with the show not centering around force users (Jedi or Sith). But there cannot just be those “professions” that use force and such. How do others use it?
Now I'm imagining the battle of the Death Star retold from the point of view of one of the other pilots, with Luke just a relatively unknown newcomer in a different squadron
The problem is that they already used every spare frame of footage from the Star Wars off-cuts when they were putting together the Rogue One battle over Scarif
I'd watch that. But maybe just reduce the whole Jedi quotient to less than a tenth of a percent. The Deus-ex-Skywalker close to Mandalorian was SUPER disappointing. (Apologies to Mark H. No reflection on you or your character.)
Some of the best Star Wars stories happen completely independent from the Jedi. I would personally love for more "Normal" life shows set in the Star Wars universe. Maybe Disney could finally start using the massive amount of Extended Universe lore?

How interesting to see how Gilroy would show us those things.
There was one Gold Squadron Y-Wing that made it back, but we never learned who it was (It's probably Wes Janson, though).
