Andor
Andor is a spin off Star Wars series that is a prequel to the movie Rogue One. And the Rogue One movie is a prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy. This is all build up that leads into getting the Death Star plans. So since its before the original trilogy, there are no Jedis or Siths. No major characters like R2D2 that appears or even mentioned. But I do find this series very compelling and entertaining. The story really helps build the world and the empire as well as the rebels.
The series follows several characters and plotlines. It can be a bit confusing to keep track of them all and sometimes some story beats are fast and some are slow. Sometimes some parts of the story seems like filler. But overall the story and acting is superb! I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did but it is pretty well written and acted. The music also fits so well and I find the tone to be quite serious and tense.
There's only 2 seasons so its not a huge time commitment. Definitely one of the best Star Wars in years!
