StarWars' Andor is currently impressing with its Rebellion-era spy-thriller story, but the Old Republic has the potential for GameofThrones-esque intrigue.
While pondering yet another big IP Disney+ series can seem like an exhaustive thought considering its current breakneck output, Andor‘s critical success for both the streaming platform and the Star Wars franchise as a whole gives a taste of the potential that the Old Republic could provide to a TV series. That’s in addition to the benefit of being heavily separated from the Skywalker Saga legacy.
Star Wars, despite Lucasfilm’s staunch resistance to grow past the Skywalkers, enjoys a similar embarrassment of riches in lore on paper. The likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and more are undeniable crowd-pleasers, but the studio is going to have to learn to live without them sooner or later.
Andor’s brand of political intrigue is the blueprint While it might still be in the early going with Andor just 11 episodes into its planned 24 , the political element of the show is already impressive. The spy-thriller genre fits this aspect of the story like a glove, but as Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon show, more fantasy-focused stories can benefit from this kind of intrigue as well.
A long-form and serialized drama Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, and now Andor — each for their own unique reasons — are ongoing evidence that the general public is still hungry for long-form, serialized dramas filled with branching storylines. While obviously not as simple to effectively execute as it might sound on paper, the Old Republic has all of the moving pieces to make an overarching story that can run for several seasons.
