There's a weird subset of certain fans that project emotions on to creatives they don't like, particularly with regard to franchises with certain kinds of "mixed" fan bases. I have little doubt Andor drew those types of fans out in droves targeting their ire at Kennedy and Filoni. If you ever want to see this dichotomy in action elsewhere, see Obsidian's Fallout New Vegas versus Bethesda's Fallout titles (including the TV show). The assertion is that there's two sides of the creative coin and everyone on the other side must "hate" the side you like. It's stupidly reductive, suffocates nuanced criticism of all works out of the discussion, and often provides cover for the shittier biases @Matisaro mentioned to flourish more openly.

I am happy for more Mandalorian, it is a fun show. But I don't see the point of a theatrical release.
I am not against theaters, but I need a reason to go and going to watch season four of a TV show is not it.

Premiers Monday, with a season 2 comnig.
Thanks for the heads up, and I suppose that I’ll have to end my boycott of Disney for this. Hopefully they got the message after this many months following their censorship of dissenting free speech. Who knows, I doubt it, but I could use some new Star Wars and this looks damned good!
Oh huh, the Maul: Shadow Lord episodes are dropping at midnight I guess, both are available to stream.
What might life be like on Coruscant?

In the old EU lore, only at the poles and a couple of areas where the mountains weren’t leveled. Not canon anymore, but that’s what it was. As for levels, it varied depending on region, but most places even the utilities people who went down deepest didn’t truly know.
Current lore has down to level 5 habitable in at least parts of the planet, with levels 4 and lower being derelict (and the surface at level 1 being uninhabitable). The outer level, where the senate building, Jedi temple, and most of everything else we see on screen is housed, is 5127. (I don't think it's particularly well-established how tall a "level" is in current canon-- wouldn't be too surprised if it varies, though.)
The original surface of Coruscant is, as of the Republic era, exposed at the top level only at one point: the peak of the mountain Umate, which is the centerpiece of Monument Plaza. This is seen on-screen a few times in Clone Wars and in live action in a couple episodes of The Mandalorian, and the plaza is part of the celebration montage at the end of ROTJ in the Special Edition (but I don't think the mountaintop is actually visible in that shot).

That video is a short. It links to the full video about Coruscant. I have not watched the full video yet. But she does iirc she does talk about how many levels there are and what exists on various ranges of levels. She talks about those things among others.
For those that do not know, she is an architect. She talks about real architecture, including city design. She also talks about fictional architecture and design. Even space travel and living on the Moon and on Mars. She has a video about Hobbiton and another about the buildings from Judge Dredd. And a lot more.
