Honestly, I think this take kind of misses what the Force actually is in Star Wars. Saying Andor "fixed" it by sidelining it feels off, because the Force was never broken. It was never just about Jedi flipping around with lightsabers or using magic powers. From the beginning, it's been described as a living energy field that connects everything. That’s as grounded and real as it gets within the Star Wars universe.

What Andor does well is show how ordinary people interact with the Force, even if it's in subtle or cultural ways. But that's not "fixing" the Force, it’s just showing another angle of it. We’ve already seen this before with characters like Chirrut in Rogue One, who wasn’t a Jedi but still deeply spiritual and moved by the Force. It's always been bigger than just the Jedi/Sith conflict.

What worries me a bit is that there's this growing trend to strip Star Wars of its mythic, philosophical layers in the name of making it more "realistic" or politically palatable. But the Force is part of what gives Star Wars its soul. It’s not about realism, it’s about meaning, and removing that can flatten the galaxy into just another sci-fi setting with rebels and empires.

So yeah, Andor is a great show. But it didn’t "fix" the Force. It added to it. That’s the difference.
