I’ve seen comments like “Kleya & Vel spin-off when?” and “We need an Andor for this [photo of DS II]” and on the one hand I do think there’s fertile ground with the first one as far as characters go, and obviously with the second one as far as plot-device goes (and yes, Bothans, I know), but of course the actual answer is that they should make neither until they know what the big theme of any show would be. You can’t just retread “The personal sacrifices necessary to fight fascism” over and over, even if it is a good theme.
To follow up on my own post… Andor Spoilers Within:
I was struck by, at the end of season 2, everyone’s got their home on Yavin, and how important this is for their emotional journeys (thinking here of Vel, Kleya, Mon). In just a few days, they are going to almost have their home destroyed by the Death Star, followed by evacuating it completely. They then won’t have a large permanent base for years, as Echo Base takes a long time to build-out. They do not get to inhabit for very long (Wookieepedia says 1 month but this could be stretched and retconned pretty easily as there were Rebels there for 2 years during construction), and afterwards, as far as I know at least, they do not get a permanent base ever again. That homelessness seems like thematic fertile ground to me.
