earlier to its diverse spinoff movies and tv collection, Star Wars was characterised by its trilogy-primarily based construction, with its fundamental saga being damaged down into three trilogies. The construction has been comparatively phased out these days with the discharge of offshoot options like Rogue One and Solo and tv tasks like The Mandalorian and The e-book of Boba Fett. Andor, nonetheless, may characterize a return of types to the franchise’s roots by turning into the remaining piece in a three-half narrative.
