I know the saying, I just can’t help but rant when Star Wars is brought up. Disney as a whole has been so terrified of offending anyone that they can’t help but offer the safest, least interesting garbage they can. They made me dislike Paul Rudd. How’d they even do that? I miss when Finn looked like he’d be the main character.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. With the amount of Star Wars media Disney were/are pumping out they’re bound to create something worthwhile eventually. It’s like that thing with the monkeys and typewriters.
Eh, first season was great, second season was good. Just a whole lot of nonsense from that anti-war senator that pulled me out. Establish that she’s not the brightest bulb before you show her lack of shine. Had they done that, I’d have loved season 2, rather than liked it.
The show gave her a lot more depth than she had in the original trilogy. In the original trilogy, she was kind of just a random rebel leader, in the animated stuff, basically the same. I think they captured the essence of rich white liberals still fighting within the system in vain until they have no choice but to stop. It made sense to me at least.

And somehow they made Andor in the mix. I’m no big Star Wars fan, but both seasons were absurdly good. And political. And not so subtle.

Mon Mothma?
Yes. Though I can’t recall many of the particulars, only my exasperation

I dunno, I might have given her the Skyler treatment. When I rewatch it in a few years, I’ll be able to assess that.
