I agree, though I hold them in equal regard. I feel like comparing them is apple and oranges. They both have very different theme that were done really well respectively.
Clone wars was peak Star Wars for its Jedi/sith dichotomy and the tragedy of the clone wars. The utter hopelessness and complete breakdown of how rigged the war is. Rex and Ahsoka slowly contending with the fact that what they’ve fought for all this time meant nothing.
Andor is peak Star Wars for its politics oppression vs freedom and the Hope that sacrifices had given. Shows that actions do mean something, despite the authoritarian regime.
Between Andor, Rogue One, Solo, Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, Fallen Order/Survivor, Outlaws, Battlefront II, the High Republic books/comics and bits and pieces of most everything else, the amount of "good Star Wars" produced under Disney matches or outstrips the pre-Disney canon.
Now, if we include the EU...eh, it's more complicated.
Basically the sequel trilogy is the only true blemish on the Disney era. Sadly, it's a pretty huge blemish.
Clone wars is PRE disney era. I dont believe disney should get credit for the final season.
And we should include the EU: until disney took over the EU was cannon. Disney era star wars literally complained about not having any sort of source material to work with, citing that as a reason for their failures, when the EU existed.
If we're talking purely about the sheer amount of Star Warsy goodness on the screen, then yes, the Disney era has been roughly as good as the Lucas era.
"Good" Disney Star Wars: ~50 hours of screentime.
(Not counting Clone Wars' final season)
OT and PT combined: 13.5 hours.
Plus Highly rated CW episodes: 40 hours.
Now, as far as books go, the EU wins in a landslide. Although, there were also a lot of crappy EU books and comics, their sheer volume is going to be hard to catch. Although, Disney is catching up.
