Andor is so obvious about preaching on modern politics. I'm amazed when my friends gobble it up like its exactly what they hungered for, but they are old white liberals...the fantasy that they are good guys probably is exactly what they hunger for.
Once you have mechanical mass-transmission media, especially mass transmission that requires significant capital investment - is "corporate-controlled mythology" more or less inevitable?
If it isn't inevitable, what circumstances, resources, and proactices would be needed in order to avoid that?
I haven't watched Andor. (I haven't watched any new Star Wars media since The Last Jedi.) But I did track some of the discussion of it on a virulently left-wing forum I still lurk on.
The impression I got was that a lot of its supposed 'brilliance' came from flattering the audience.
