Just to expand on the concept, Andor was a quality show that demonstrated the IP still has life. It is compelling and well-made, bringing viewers to Star Wars at a time when most enthusiasts are tired of terrible movies.
There are many parallels between Star Wars and the MCU.
By making a completely out of the norm series, focused on a side character from an non-main movie, and not using anything that identifies the universe.
It demonstrated that even Disney can make something good once in a while, but it didn’t do anything to the Star Wars IP.
I completely disagree that it is not using anything that identifies the universe. The visual language of Star Wars is very strong, and even besides the obvious storm troopers this show captured it in its’ production design in a way that very few recent introductions have.
I would argue that almost any frame could be immediately identified as star wars even if you hadn’t seen the show.

Besides the Death Star, storm troopers, and blasters?
Well, to be fair, it does have stormtroopers and they do say “may the force be with you” to each other.
