Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.
Absolutely. That’s something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I thought Rogue One was great. It really filled in a lot of the missing Star Wars movie lore (if one didn’t read any of the books), and it was a darker movie in the vein of ESB.
Then I watched Andor.
You really get a much, much deeper take on all the characters and the story gets far more detail.
And as soon as I watched the last episode of Andor I watched Rogue One again and it really feels more like assembling disparate parts into an action film.
But that’s the price of having to assemble a big story and see it all in ~two hours.
