Andor handles tension far better than Obi-Wan because its central character arc gradually and gracefully addresses the central struggle, and because its secondary arc is far better written and executed, with excellent pacing all around.

Honestly this video was a struggle to write, and I'm not sure if I did a good job. There is so much more that could be said, and I'm not sure if I hit the points that best highlight the differences between these two shows. Oh well, hope you like it!
