Andor is a Star Wars universe series set during the height of the Empire and prior to A New Hope. The main character is Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), a small time thief/rogue in a backwater world who comes to the attention of the local Corps authority which escalates to Imperial attention. He is forced to take a job from shady broker Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) and that job is helping a group of rogues/rebels steal the pay shipment of an Imperial base.

On a parallel track the series shows the fledging rebellion. Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) trying to keep the funds flowing to the rebellion while being a voice of civil resistance in the Imperial Senate. Rael turns out to be another rebel though more of a compatriot to Mothma as the rebellion doesn't really have a central leadership and arguably Rael is the closest thing to that central hub as he has several projects going.

This is a bit of a darker series showing a bit more of the Empire's pervasive oppression in the minor systems; activities which the big worlds never know about. Strangely it's an interesting series even though Andor is not that sympathetic a character and perhaps neither are the rebels. And the Empire is not shown in an amazingly bad light either. A lot of grays working against each other. But it is very watchable.
