Yeah, but the show is so excellently written that it does not even need those "core elements" you're used to. In fact, if they had them, it would just make it even better than it already is. Andor just feels so much more real and mature compared to anything else. I've never felt so much dread in regards to the empire. And the writing, acting and overall presentation is so good that you immediately get immersed into the world. It's also moderate on the humor instead of the constant comedy shit that SW has become recently, where they have to shoehorn in something funny every few minutes.
Andor is so well written, you could change the name, not reference the star wars franchise at all - people who never watched star wars and knew nothing about it could watch it, enjoy it, and have a blade runner like experience and be really happy.
That is so unique for modern star wars properties!
