Andor is the finest, though. But still get excited with new additions to the whole galaxy building.

I would love a series featuring the Galactic Empire mostly. I’ve always thought of Tarkin as an even more iconic and threatening villain than Palpatine. The rise of Tarkin and his ruthless military command of the Imperial Starfleet would be an awesome series to have.

As this thread is already up, an unrelated thought: paying much attention to plot holes in sci-fi escapism space opera films is a rabbit hole not really worth going too deep into, But since we all do, and the Death Star’s weakness and existence of the convenient exhaust port used to be everyone’s go-to quotable plot hole for decades until Rogue One came along, arguably a much bigger one, or at least extremely lazy writing, is the fact that the Stormtroopers who boarded Leia’s ship concluded the Death Star’s plans weren’t hidden somewhere in the ship in a couple of hours at most.
Something the size of a floppy disk could have been hidden in hundreds of thousands of different crevices, ventilation pipes, storage boxes, panels and other spaces across such a ship. It would have taken many weeks at least for the Empire to find a well-hidden small disk, or alternatively check every last corner to confidently rule out the plans were no longer on board.
There. I got it out of my system.

A cat politely sat on the flaming gardener.
They were right though, the plans weren't on board.

First intersubjective, then internalised
It would have been one hell of a film if they’d showed us three days’ worth of the stormtroopers tearing the ship apart until they found those plans before deciding there were actually no plans, in spite of the princess being part of the rebel alliance and a traitor, take her away.

A ten-episode HBO series, though…
Sad thing is, would be glued to it!

Andor Season 2 Turns Star Wars: Rogue One Into a 'Different Film,' Star Diego Luna Says - IGN
Andor Season 2 will turn Rogue One: A Star Wars Story into a completely "different film," its star Diego Luna has said.
It is that, but feel he's overused these days. Like the Daleks. A little goes a long way...
He kept at least one Twi'lek slave and had her killed; he's no great loss.

Indeed.
Luke Skywalker
Chosen One Jedi Grand Master Commander Luke Skywalker is one of the main protagonists in Star Wars. He's also the son of Jedi Knight General Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, as well as the brother to Leia Organa, and master to Rey Skywalker. (19 BBY - 34 ABY) (53 years old) He is portrayed by...
Hopefully he reflected on his crimes whilst in exile.

Die a hero or live long enough to become the Joker
This is quite clever, and unlike a lot of fan made stuff, doesn't consist of scenes that go on a bit too long. Even the product flogging bit is amusing.

Brand new spinoff series Skeleton Crew has just appeared on Disney+. I wasn’t even aware of its existence and from the initial ten minutes of the first episode I can’t even tell if it’s a kid’s show or a grown up one, but it seems to have pretty decent reviews

ETA: It seems to be a kind of coming of age ‘Goonies in a galaxy far, far away’ type of show, which if done well I could get on board with
It stars among others Nick Frost and Jude Law. Haven’t seen them yet so it could be just voice acting for any of the non-human characters.

The beleaguered Disney Star Wars franchise has managed to find itself a hit in Skeleton Crew.

As a Star Wars follower, have to say that the idea of "Goonies in space" wasn't at all appealing... but as you say, it's getting good reviews and I feel duty bound to watch it.
(If I can get through the Ewoks movies, anything is possible)

I get and even share your apprehension, but so far it doesn’t feel it’s going to turn out too childish in tone. More like the aforementioned Goonies, or the likes of ET. but also potentially a pinch of Stranger Things. There are going to space pirates and grownup spaceship battles too judging by the opening scene.
In fact the 80s homage feel is unashamedly in your face. The town where the kid characters live, down to the houses and roads, looks pretty much like the town in ET might look in 2100.

Sometimes the 80s nostalgia trip feels like it's been going on longer than the decade itself. However, I do like Stranger Things and ET, so don't mind if Star Wars does it, especially if it turns out to be good.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Beneath all that 80s town innocence methinks something wicked lurks.

Look for the 'despecialized' versions. They are fan cuts that ditch most of the improvements.
