The fact that the silly franchise about space wizards and laser swords also happens to be a very accurate depiction of present-day America is simultaneously hilarious and devastating
These days feel akin to The Rise of Skywalker to me (saying as a big fan of it): the great evil has risen again, but there’s still plenty of us still around to resist and fight, whether directly or just by not letting them get us down or feel alone.
For me, both Andor and the sequels are relevant now - Andor for resistance under a grim system, the sequels for the resurgence of evil but also the legacy of heroism being passed to a new generation.
