At least a fantastic series resulted from that spending.

Really? A two season, 14 hour prestige, movie quality show made over the course of several years had a higher production budget than a two hour movie shot in about 6-8 months? And this is newsworthy why exactly?

Lando makes a good point.

"Content not viewable in your region"

Yeah, so Imgur has been blocked in the UK as of a few months back, which is a bit of a bugger given that was the image host I preferred to use too. Oh well!

It is interesting that it's the most LFL has spent on any project at least to me. Especially given the lower use of aliens that people often associate with Star Wars.

It's difficult to believe Andor cost that much. The money wasn't on the screen- someone was paid way too much. Well, many people must have been paid way too much. Star Trek shows look just as good, how are they making THEM so cheap by comparison?

Location shooting rather than studios or the Volume, I suppose.

Plus 24 total episodes as opposed to just 6-10.

Sets were pretty elaborate. A lot of depth and detail.

Yup, exactly this (but also what eddie and Myk said). The primary reason why (completely unrelated) Sense8 was canceled wasn't because of bad reviews or bad viewership numbers, but because the extensive location shooting killed their budget (granted, across the globe but still).

As I understand it some of them were real places.

They did a lot of location shooting, yes.
