In fact, the transgressive nature of The Last Jedi is tiny compared to Andor.

In its dialogue, political status quo, and general story beats, The Last Jedi is very Star Wars-y, so much so that in an alternate universe, in which the TV series Star Wars: Andorwas released before The Last Jedi, this film might have been accused of an excess of fan service. This isn’t a bad thing, but to pretend like Rey’s belief in the “conflict” within Ben Solo/Kylo Ren was remotely original, and not simply lifted from Return of the Jedi is to deny reality. But the behavior of Snoke in The Last Jedi is so ridiculously similar to Palpatine in Return of the Jedi that it’s hard to rewatch the “the Throne Room” scene today and see anything other than a clever and artful homage to the Star Wars of 1983. In 2019, a sizable portion of the Star Wars fan base felt that shoehorning Palpatine into The Rise of Skywalker was a cheap trick. While it's true that director Rian Johnson made several story decisions that scan as provocative after the fact, the larger status quo of The Last Jedi is closer to the classic trilogy than even The Force Awakens. The Rebels were just the Rebels again, and if you were confused, their logo was more prominent than ever. The distinction between “the Resistance” introduced in The Force Awakens and “the Rebellion” from the classic trilogy was erased.
There’s one rallying cry that’s repeated twice in The Last Jedi, that oddly, is probably the one thing everyone forgot about the movie: “Godspeed Rebels.” Uttered first by a doomed captain of a Resistance medical frigate, and then later by Admiral Holdo (Laura Dern), the phrase “Godspeed Rebels,” combined with several other mentions of “the Rebellion” as well as a huge Rebel Alliance insignia on the shoulder of Poe Dameron’s jacket, all added up to one result. Check out that giant Rebel Alliance symbol on Poe’s jacket.
