I'd like something more extended and literally episodic the way the word looks?

That's actually a large point that Andor makes, interestingly enough. When Andor is being asked to fight against The Empire he says something along the lines of "it's better to live and eat, isn't it?" He is stuck in a mindset of just getting by, like most people are, until he can't just do that anymore. He has a hatred for The Empire, but he's too scared at first.

Andor is, by far, the best Star Wars thing that's been made (at least season 1, I haven't seen 2 yet) because it takes its world seriously, unlike the rest of Star Wars. There aren't these perfect heroes and perfect villains. There are flawed people doing what they need to do, and bureacracies doing their jobs without considering what that actually means. It's in the Star Wars universe, but it's taking a realistic look at how The Rebellion could have actually started with regular people making it happen because they couldn't stand by any longer.
