Andorseason 1 had a reported budget of $250 million.
Was it worth it?
However, this number only confirms the total spent until November 22, 2023.
That date is significant because filming didnt wrap onAndorseason 2 until February 2024.
By contrast, three seasons ofThe Mandalorianare estimated to have cost $360 million.
The difference is striking.

Why Has Andor Cost So Much To Make?
Andoris unlike any otherStar Warslive-action TV production.
I expect well see similar craftsmanship in season 2.
Andor is a Star Wars prequel series set before the events of Rogue One, following Cassian Andor as he navigates a world of danger and deception. The series delves into his transformation into a pivotal figure in the struggle against the Galactic Empire.
We also need to consider the shows length.
Theres no risk, no gamble, and as a result, the reward feels less impressive.
Of course,Andorisnt an entirely stand-alone production.
It explores and deepens our understanding ofStar Wars politics and its authentic narrative purpose.
It’s been said before, butAndorisnt just an excellentStar Warsshow its an excellent show, period.
