Star Wars: Andor is the show that fans have known to be in development for a long time, and yet it has been pretty quiet more often than not.

What Would Have Happened If Obi-Wan Was The One To Arrest Palpatine?
The attempted arresting of Chancellor, later Emperor, Palpatine by the Jedi Council is one of the most important moments in Revenge of the Sith and the Star Wars universe as a whole. In a lot of ways, it was the last chance the Jedi had to stop Darth Sidious, and it also served as the moment that seals Anakin's fall to the Dark Side and Sidious' victory over the Jedi. Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin arrived at the Chancellor's office to arrest the secret Sith Lord, but unfortunately, Sidious proved to be too powerful for the Jedi Masters. Aided by Anakin Skywalker, soon to be Darth Vader, Darth Sidious killed all the Jedi Masters sent to arrest him.

The Secret Background Behind Star Wars' Blaster Sound
The Star Wars franchise is easily one of, if not the biggest, franchises on the planet. The fanbase spans generations, thanks to the continued new projects and expansions on the original story, but a big part of the franchise's continued success, is the soundtrack which accompanies each film. The legendary John Williams has scored numerous successful franchises, including Indiana Jones, ET, and Jaws, to name a few, but Star Wars fans hold a special place in their hearts for him thanks to the music included throughout the entire saga. No Star Wars fan can listen to "Binary Sunset" or "Across the Stars" without feeling a sometimes overwhelming range of emotions.
