I disagree about the memberberry era being put down. The highest rated TV show in the Disney+ era was Luke returning in season 2 of Mandalorian. The reason The Force Awakens did well was because it was almost a carbon copy of the original. People want the familiar with Star Wars. For all of us that enjoyed Andor, it still wasn't that popular with the fandom. It really wasn't a show for people who love laser swords and mystical things with the Force. I'd argue that bringing Luke into season 2 was probably the worst thing Filoni did because it pushed Mando to the background and altered the story too much. I think it's why Gilroy had no desire to bring any Force beings into Andor. He knows that it's like K2, they immediately become the story because they are instantly the biggest thing ever.
Disney wants Star Wars to go back to the cinema because that's where the money is. Yes, they need better scripts and stories but it's hard to argue with the billions the sequel trilogy and Rogue One made. That's why Mandalorian is going to the cinema. The problem is has Disney watered down the brand too much with Disney+? We may be seeing that with the MCU. The two biggest post Endgame movies were continuations of existing stories, in Guardians 3 and Deadpool 3. The future of Star Wars isn't in Gilory's hands, it's in Filoni's. That's not going down the Andor path. The next animated series isn't trying something new, it's going back to the Darth Maul well again. I'll watch but it's not exactly treading new territory.
