I did remember thinking the set designs and special effects on Andor were extremely good. Makes sense that they went hard on the budget to support it.
To me the best part was the writing. The big budget scenes seemed like second-tier capstones around the plot in many cases.
This scene is a bit of an exception though. Not only is it beautiful and probably expensive but it's also built up over several episodes and is fully fleshed out from a lore perspective. Derision is shown in a believably human way from the empire toward the locals for having some religion about the event, and then once you see it you can totally understand how it forms the basis for a belief system. The Tie Fighters are shown in several episodes to have ultimate air superiority in a threatening way over the area, and the concept that you could fly a vessel out of their air space is openly ridiculed until they enter the meteor shower and you see how it's feasible. They build up suspense immediately before the meteor flythrough by killing substantial characters, so you don't know who is dying next as they navigate what is a tremendously risky airspace.
It all comes together in a massive payoff that, to me, was a high point in the season.

Just binged this last weekend after having a hard SW burn out due to ob1.
This show really felt like reading a book. The build up, the slow pace, I liked almost everything; sometimes it felt like he wanted to tell a story, or add some background, and someone said no cut this bs and he had to abandon it; the tribal gathering near the dam is one of them; the story of cassian sister and what happened on his homeworld is another.
I know I'm late for the robot vs human in the jail stuff; it didn't strike me as a mistake "since droid could do it better". Even in the most automated manufacturing line, pins and bushes are added manually, and some bolting are also made manually. Human are very agile and almost free in this case.
But we can discuss days and nights, that'd be sterile.

No clue if he means that Andor will meet them, or just that they will be in the show. Saw Gerrera was already in season 1, so I would assume he will be in season 2 and may meet Andor as a go between or joint operation.
My guess is Galen Eso could show up, in contacting Luthen. Bail Organa could easily show up, but they would probably need to use de-aging tech, so maybe not. Various Empire people could also show up too, just not necessarily meeting Andor face to face.

Means cool shit like this
Ben Mendelsohn lines written by Tony Gilroy should be pretty pretty good.
