This is an absurdly misleading headline. Andor is 24 episodes, not one movie.
Minute for minute, Andor cost FIVE TIMES LESS than The Rise of Skywalker.

For 8 great Star Wars movies (or, more exactly, narrative arcs), that seems more than fair to me. ☺️
Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies
Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.

I really want to get into doing more comics professionally and possibly get into making variant covers for bigger published work. I'm a small fry in a sea of already established, amazing artists. I'm hoping to meet some creators at Tbubs and possibly get my foot in the door.
I'm an email away.

Cis allies loudly declaring support also helps push back on one of the main goals of the anti trans movement, convincing the world that hating trans people is Normal
Every random cis person going "well duh i'm chill with trans people who isn't" means that idea can't spread

not to invalidate my trans siblings but, personally, cis allies loudly declaring support for us right now does help keep despair at bay even if it changes nothing. I don’t care how you phrase it, how clumsy. Please be there for/with us, loudly. It fights the voices that scream everyone hates us.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.
