Guess it's difficult for people to get into the show. As the first episode really isn't that good or interesting to be fair. Most other episodes are excellent though.
I bet lots of people also turn it down because they heard/read it doesn't involve lightsabers or the force, or any big characters from the franchise needing to carry the show. Which honestly makes it much more interesting.
I often recommend the show to others. But it seems like very few catch on. It's similar with Rogue One being probably the best SW movie in the last decade, but hardly got the attention it deserved.
For me the reason it took a while to come around and watch Andor was that by the time it released we've had quite a bit of mediocre Star wars content recently released. So there was some fatigue setting in.
It took me a couple tries to get into it. Then it clicked during the heist when Skeen yelled "LET'S GOOOO!" to the hostages to start loading up the transport. Idk he just brought an energy that I really liked.
