The cult of Andor basically depends on the hope that the perception of George Lucas and his work will somehow completely reverse its consistently upward trajectory since 2012, so that his vision for Star Wars and his status as its auteur creator will once again be treated as worth less than dirt. This is because the more honest Andor fans recognize that the show does in fact represent a complete repudiation of Lucas's artistic sensibilities, by a man who clearly does not respect Lucas and who openly dislikes Lucas's work. The wildly exaggerated praise for Andor is just the latest strategy to delegitimize Lucas, whose romantic vision and appreciation for beauty are seen as legitimate political threats by these people.
