I never even saw it. In fact i never even heard of it till right now. I stopped watching Disney Star Wars stuff after season 2 of the mandalorian. They were pumping out WAY too much content which made the quality of everything sink. After there were multiple shows running concurrently none of it seemed special anymore

Andor is exceptional and the best episodic Star Wars tv show ever made

This is not an exaggeration.

That's because andor isn't a star wars story it just takes place in that universe.

At ita core it's a heist and prison break redemption arc

Archetypal subplots notwithstanding, what characterizes a Star Wars story?

At this point: Mediocre (and often boring) storytelling, flat characters and cheesy nostalgia. Andor is surely not that.

Rate of content creation and quality aren't related.

Yes they are. There's simple realities of labor that mean, for example, a particularly talented set design team can't push out 40 hours of work a day.
