Fans Debate "Is Andor ‘Real’ Star Wars?" It’s Always Been More Than Jedi & Sith

While the mystical aspects of the franchise’s mythology will always be important, Star Wars has forever been more than simply the Jedi and the Sith. Since the expansion of the franchise following Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, Star Wars has expanded its storytelling in ways that many may only have dreamed of during George Lucas’ tenure as the series’ leader. This is set to continue in upcoming Star Wars movies, especially with a 25,000-year-old story about the origins of the Jedi Order in development. However, while this expansion has allowed Star Wars‘ Force-based exploration to increase, the franchise has also delved deeper into the grittier, more realistic aspects of the universe.
