They are what they are for the universe they’re in, and they are relevant to the OG trilogy as well as 1/2/3. Star Wars is about politics with a hefty dose of Sword and Planet.
Farm boy’s life is upended by brutally authoritarian political entity so he becomes a rebel. Andor, and Rogue One, are what happens behind the scenes that leads up to the big space battle everyone knows in ANH.
People might call Andor shallow because it directly deals with fascism openly and plainly. Maybe the “shallow” commenters prefer not to be reminded of that or that fascism= bad considering modern events. But characters, set design, acting, directing, and story are excellent. A top-tier series regardless of whether or not someone likes Star Wars.
