Does Andor point the Star Wars franchise in a good direction?

This seems like as good a place as any to promote my YT comment on your "Why The Politics Of The Star Wars Universe Matter" video: The bantha in the room here is Fantastic Racism.* The OT's visuals make it clear that the Empire is a human supremacist movement, as befits their Nazi-esque garb and a story written when the civil rights struggle was still recent. But neither Lucas in the PT or Disney in the ST was interested in exploring such a painfully realistic subject matter, it seems. * A TV Tropes term for fictional prejudice. The Timothy Zahn Thrawn Trilogy hinted and talked a bit about the Emperor's human supremacism, and Lindsay Ellis made an excellent video discussing the degree to which the First Order is fascist, and what the implications for Disney selling Empire/First Order merch may be.
