Yeah, exactly! I felt that was the whole point of Andor, as well as the portraying the nastiness/ruthlessness of the Rebellion's side, too.

I think it's supposed to make absolute judgements like "is Partagaz a bad person?" or "is Luthen a good person?" fundamentally unanwerable. They are just too deep in such a messed up fascist system.

    And perfectly done too, that there are no black and white answers in something like that. Star Wars always was "Good" vs "Evil", Andor did a great job at saying "Good needs to get dirty, and evil plays by the rules too". Only grey areas.

    Yes! I loved that.

    It felt refreshingly subversive/deconstructive. The only old piece of Star Wars media I got such a similar vibe from was KOTOR 2 (which is quite obviously an inspiration, given the direct references like the Rakata necklace).

    The Darth Maul series kinda has this vibe, too. I hope the new Star Wars leadership leans into it.
