I'm watching Andor, and I have to say I really like the Star Wars universe's worldbuilding, aesthetically. I like that it has never taken itself seriously¹, and still everything is full of thought-out detail, environments have soul, the photography is beautiful...
Of course that's to be expected of such a big budget franchise (though I don't get the impression that, say, typical Marvel blockbusters have such a focus on aesthetics... but maybe it's just because I haven't seen all that many Marvel movies²)
¹ For instance: Most of the cast is human, but there's always one or two aliens thrown in just for the sake of it. Robots always have some human-like quirk... Also I just watched a scene where blue milk was poured on cereal — because of course people in a galaxy far, far away eat cereal just like us, but milk has to be a funny color.
² I have seen the two first spiderverse movies though, and I am in love with them... I just suspect they're an exception.
