I've watched two episodes and I find it to be tedious and boring. Nothing
"Star Warsy" about it. Hell, they're barely ever even in space. Just one
endless scene after another of people skulking about grimy alleyways and tiny
living hovels in some anonymous backwater industrial world.

I hope it gets better but two episodes in, my hopes are fading. Only thing I
like about it is the girl mechanic, Bix. She's a smokeshow.

I don't regret skipping this. The more I read about it, the more it
sounded like a complete "miss".

Wait a minute - I thought Andor was a Star Trek planet (they're the
blue people with horns) - or did I misread something?

The series is about the backstory of Cassian Andor, the male lead from ROGUE
ONE.

Cassian Andor is a character in the movie "Star Wars Rogue One". For
some ridiculous reason Disney decided to give him a TV series, set as a
prequel to the movie.

The blue-skinned Andorians in Star Trek come from the planet Andoria,
but it is called Andor too (perhaps in a similar way to Earth and Terra
being two names for the same planet).

Andor is also a country in Robert Jordan's "A Wheel of Time" series of
fantasy books.
