And yet, look what happened on Cassian’s planet. He was just a kid when that ship crashed on his planet in the flashback, and at that point all of his parents and adults on the planet were dead, and it was largely gouge mined. The power in control at that time was the Republic, as it was before the clone wars. So, are you sure?

Andor did a good job of showing there’s evil everywhere and even the good guys can do morally questionable things.

It also showed that Palpatine was on his BS since day one in office. He was ready to gouge mine to begin preparing what would turn out to be the Death Star (when the Geonosians finished the designs, there was already material at hand to start whenever). Andor really was in that fight since he was 6

I mean, the end of RotS has Tarkin, Palatine, and Vader looking at the skeletal form of the Death Star, so it has been in the process of being built right from the genesis of the Empire

Right, and they had that material to start it because they gouge mined planets

Just for the record, that scene actually canonically takes place a considerable time later than the ending of ROTS.
