Andor is on the rise on the Nielsen streaming charts! Nielsen have added the second batch of episodes that were released in week 2, that means episodes 4 through 6. And Andor, regardless of whether the amount of content released benefits the show, is the first Star Wars series since basically The Mandalorian and the Ahsoka premiere that is comfortably in the overall top 10 most streamed content charts in North America!
And on the Luminate streaming charts Andor accomplishes a rare feat. It’s still in the top 10 two weeks after the last episode was released. Again, the only other Star Wars series to manage this (on the Nielsen charts however), was The Mandalorian.

I waited a little longer this time to talk about the Andor streaming charts performance because I didn’t just want to cover the Luminate charts, but wanted to wait for Nielsen to add at least the first three episodes so we can better compare performance of the show with previous Star Wars series. Luminate only has numbers for The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew, both of which failed to even enter the charts repeatedly, so we only have incomplete data. But with Nielsen we can see how Andor stacks up compared to all the other shows.
So how does Andor perform? Surprisingly well. So well, that for the first time in almost forever a Star Wars series made the overall top 10 on the Nielsen streaming charts with 10th place. And 4th place in the original series charts.
In fact, an additional report by Parrot Analytics about financial performance of the show tells us that Andor is, despite its exorbitant budget, still a financial success for Disney.
So let’s look at the details! Click through for more!

I am sorry it took me a while to post the review for the Andor series finale. But there was so much to digest and unpack this week.
To call the series finale a triumph is an understatement. The finale is very, very surprising (I bet no one would have ever predicted this kind of story for the finale) and gives each and every character the ending they deserve, and some of those endings are also quite surprising, but always very fitting.
And to all the people who never cared for Andor, which is absolutely fine, Andor is very different from your typical Star Wars, let me tell you just this: the show, but especially the series finale, has not only made Rogue One a better movie now, but even made the original Star Wars movie a much more impactful story 48 years later. And this is the true artistic achievement here. Stories we already loved have now become so much more meaningful and richer and ultimately even better. When Luke fires that torpedo now… you will truly know what it means. Rogue One did some of that already, but the Andor series finale puts it all on another level. It elevates Star Wars as a whole, the entire series has. The finale is peak Star Wars.
Anyway, this week’s review for the finale is a bit long maybe, but I still hope you will join me in a discussion about the Andor series finale Make It Stop / Who Else Knows? / Jedha, Kyber, Erso. Just click on the banner below or here!

This week’s three episode arc of Andor, Messenger / Who Are You? / Welcome To The Rebellion, was quite something. What can I even say? I believe Andor is exactly the kind of series we need at the moment.
Star Wars is and has always been timeless, but also, in many ways, relevant to the current era.
Andor this week is, for me, peak Star Wars, the best ever, exactly the right tv/streaming show at a perfect time. Never has Star Wars been more relevant, in my opinion.
Of course many will feel Andor is peak boredom, not Star Wars and that the political focus this week is annoying. But everyone else will hopefully agree with me that Star Wars has never been better.
