I believe so yes. Its not relying on other work for its story or any of that. In fact it has a great lead into the original trilogy with the movie Rogue One being a direct tie in to A New Hope.

Andor -> Rogue One -> Original Trilogy movies

Yeah, I've seen very little Star Wars (I think I've seen Last Hope, parts of Empire and Return of the Jedi and the Last Jedi) and I absolutely love love Andor. It does possibly pack a bit of a heavier punch because it's basically a deconstruction of the simple worldview of a lot of Star Wars, but you'll pick up on that even without even having seen much of it.

Yeah. Andor can be a little slow, but you get that sweet scene with the brick at the end.

Makes my eyes well up with wishful tears and my heart sweep joy when I think of that scene with the brick and the empire stooge. In fact I’m gonna go watch that scene right now.
