"Andor" premiered this week and to say that it's a "different" style of Star Wars show would be, well... oversimplifying it...

This week saw the premiere of "Andor" on Disney+.

The highly anticipated prequel-to-a-prequel-after-the-prequel-era sees Diego Luna reprise his role as the titular rebel while bringing back Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma and introducing Stellan Skarsgård as a new, major character within The Rebel Alliance.

But, is "Andor" any good? Is it just like every other Star Wars series we have seen to date or does it try to break the mould?

Today, we dig into the first three episodes and find out.
