Yeah Andor is about actual rebels and the difficulties of starting a rebellion. Rebels would be a much better title for it too. Sometimes when watching Andor I started imagining all the events of Rebels happening in the same world and laughing.
It’s the main reason I hate Rebels so much. It’s always Mission Accomplished for the main characters with (almost) no casualties, main characters rarely if ever die, and the Empire is so laughably incompetent it makes you wonder how they rose to power in the first place.
