The SW fandom isn't a monolith but it is full of loud and angry bad faith actors that just love to hate things because that gets them more views. They love using one SW property as a stick to beat others with and that's why their views change.

TFA was used as a stick to beat the prequels with. Then the Mandalorian was used to beat the sequels, and now Andor is the new favorite that's beating down the Mandalorian. It's all so see-through.
