Andor! Can we please talk about the casting of Andor? I love Andor, the writing and the acting and the story are all incredible. Peak Starwars. But the casting is weird.

The rule appears to be: If you're a woman, and you have a speaking role in Andor, you must be able to wear Audrey Hepburn's outfits. There are a lot of women with speaking roles in Andor. But they all fit in that Hepburn-shaped box.

It's legit creepy. Mon Mothma is kinda the exception that proves the rule -- hers is the only female role that isn't cast using an actor with a Hepburn/ballerina-type body. But Mon's role wasn't cast by Disney. O'Reilly was cast by George Lucas, and that casting decision was made in 2002 -- O'Reilly is a legacy from Revenge of the Sith.

Why yes, now that you mention it...

Andor is the best Starwars I've ever watched. But I feel very strongly that it would have been even better had it included more boobs.
