In a galaxy oversaturated with half-baked sequels, empty nostalgia, and corporate fan fiction, Rogue One and Andor stand alone.
Today on Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse Blaze Snider throws down the lightsaber of truth and celebrates the only great Star Wars storytelling to come out of Disney’s era. Born from a single sentence in the A New Hope crawl, Rogue One and its masterful prequel series, Andor, not only honor the original trilogy, but they enhance it.
These aren’t just good spinoffs. They are soul-charged, cinematic achievements that deepen the myth, raise the stakes, and remind us why we fell in love with Star Wars in the first place.
Jesse breaks down the arcs, the themes, and why Rogue One and Andor are the Cobra Kai of the Star Wars universe—respectful, raw, and relentlessly real.
And he doesn’t stop there. From The Mandalorian’s slow collapse to the disastrous sequel trilogy, Boba Fett’s softboy retirement plan, and Ahsoka’s empty spectacle, nothing is safe.
This is Star Wars done RIGHT. This is the Rebellion before the Rebellion. This is the hill to die on.
