I really wished we got more stuff like Andor, Rogue One, and Knights of The Old Republic II that explore more of the universe outside of “here’s a bunch of themed planets with wacky CGI aliens”.

Andor and Rogue One are really good at showing what it’s like to actually be a Rebel and live in a universe being dictated by an empire, while KOTOR 2 was a really cool look at the metanarrative of the Jedi, the Sith, and the Force as a whole.

Exactly, it was hard and gritty. I thought they did an amazing job, the movies make it feel so binary, we're good they're bad. Andor shows the grey, the actual living under the empire, what it actually means. I deseprately hope they see the numbers and see that we want more "grown up" star wars.
