00:00Disney Star Wars is, for the most part, a graveyard of wasted potential, I'd say.
00:04A minefield of mediocrity.
00:06But buried in that minefield, there is one true masterpiece.
00:10Not just a good Star Wars story, but one that actually makes the original Star Wars better.
00:15One that honors the source, expands the universe.
00:17I'm talking about Rogue One, a Star Wars story.
00:20And it's criminally underwatched, almost secret, absolutely phenomenal prequel series, Andor.
00:26The fact that there's no Jedi in this show, or in this film, and it still feels so quintessentially Star
00:32Wars.
00:33But watching it will make A New Hope better.
00:35When I re-watch A New Hope now, and I see that hallway where Vader boards the rebel ship, I
00:41don't just see a scene anymore.
00:43I see what came before, I see what it cost, I see what was lost.
00:46I feel the stakes.
00:48Because Rogue One and Andor made them real.
00:51That is so rare.
