It is called Star Wars, and it is one of the many reasons why I do not like it.
What about it specifically do you dislike? This type of setting definitely invites questioning by the audience and can break immersion, but I'm curious about your take on it.
I think this is the greater unpopular opinion I have, but here I go: It's something more personal rater than anything. Since child I've always fund kinda stupid that a civilization that has ships with space travel capabilities still using swords to fight sigh LASER swords. I always felt Star Wars like a mediaval story, it have swords, magic, incest, politics, and the sci-fi stuff is a big flex tape. I'm pretty sure that without it, Star Wars wouldn't never be the success that it is.
You might be glad to know that there’s only one scene involving the Force in all of Andor, and it’s nowhere near central to the plot. Cassian himself is a skeptic.
Or you might not care at all, and be sick of people telling you how good Andor is. Whatever your opinion is, it’s valid.
Funny you should mention those themes, because it was heavily influenced by classic Samurai films, which have a lot of similar “betrayal” story beats.
