Up until September, 2022 had been an okay-ish year for Star Wars. We’d seen the usual smattering of novels and comics, though the main attraction Obi-Wan Kenobi had proved something of a damp squib. All of which meant hopes weren’t exactly high for Andor. After all, who cares about a side character from a six-year-old movie that we all saw die at the end?
It didn’t take long for showrunner Tony Gilroy to get his hooks into us, and Andor ultimately delivered 12 stunning episodes of television that had both hardcore and casual fans buzzing about the future of Star Wars. Now, the show has gotten recognition from none other than USA Today, who named it as “show of the year”.
