I genuinely like main characters who are not the 'heroes' (and I don't mean that in the sense of morality, although that's fine too) I mean that in the sense of being the character the story is all about or who always swoops in and fixes everything and is front and center. And this is especially true for episodic mediums- yes it can be done for the case of the week to merely be a vehicle for whatever's going on with the main character, but often that's poorly done and the case of the week are shallow and boring as a result, for me at least. It really works better for me if the case of the week is the point, and the main character is the vehicle for exploring that.
All this to say, I suppose, that the complaints that Din isn't the main character of his own show is faintly baffling to me, since his character has always been a bit that of 'just some guy', and the bigger his mythos, the less he feels like Din to me. But I suppose that is just my personal preference. I genuinely would prefer to watch him inspire and aid the next Mandalor than watch him become the mandalor. Having a main character who is... almost liminal? and dips into other people's stories and effects and experiences their course without being at their center is good for me. It makes the story feel like it's about a world instead of a person- I love both those kinds of stories.
It's also something I like about Andor- Cassian isn't muscling into the narratives he finds himself in, and his genuine interest in the characters he's interacting with, his angling to play support rather than THE hero, is part of the appeal. And the jedi! For example tpm and anh are in a lot of ways Padme and Leia's stories respectively, and we follow the support jedi- and I like it like that.
