Do yourself a favour and watch Andor, it is one of the best pieces of scifi ever created imo.  It's slow, plodding and completely unapologetically revolves 100% around the characters and all of the tiny moments that make up their lives, which just happen to be set on the canvas of the empire and the rebellion.

Obviously given previous discussions around going in blind I don't recommend you watch this until you've seen the show but it sums up my feelings oh so perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL4IfoQzSSE
