We're not there yet story wise. Next season for sure.
Has it been 100% confirmed there is a next season? There’s so much backlash on YouTube over this show, I figured they weren’t going to continue
Then again..

Yep; confirmed
I'm not sure what you mean by "backlash."
"Backlash" would suggest numbers of people unified in their disdain for Andor actively trying to get the show cancelled. My impression is that, at worst, there are Star Wars fans who are indifferent or uninterested. Maybe my YouTube feed is biased but over 95% of YouTube reactors/commentators actually love the show - even the ones who weren't hooked after the first three episodes.
This show is exactly why I don't judge movies/series by concept or trailers or guys with bed pans on their heads whining about KK....
Been stating for years that I HATE Rogue One and Cassian Andor was the lamest most one dimensional miserable character...
I freakin LOVED Andor. I'm almost willing to say it's the best Star Wars since The O.T. and Cassian is now one of my fave characters. The series was so good I blew through it in a weekend.
Everything from the casting to the costumes... the BLASTER (Brayer?)... the pacing, the tone... the dialogue...
Standout moments probably talked to death already....
- Andor killing that guy for suggesting they steal the 800,000....
- the hologram rally cry at the end...
- Andy Sirkis moment "How many guards on each level" "never more than 12"
- Bix...
- Mon Mothmas crappy marriage
- duel Luthens
- New great Droid
- The meteor shower shot while tie pilots get in their ships
- that whole heist
- the prison break
- the Empire is terrifying again.
It almost seems ludicrous watching this that a magic man who can move stuff with his mind and cuts up people with a laser sword is the one who ends the Empire... Luke Ex Machina.
I loved it and hope they don't mess up Season 2.
And Jeez... this all leads to the movie I put below the prequels... Cassian is not gonna feel like the same character in continuity.

Yeah all I see on my feed is hatred lol I do like screencrush and he’s been very supportive of it
I haven't followed the reactions... a little tired of constant whining from film "fans"... but really? hatred?
I don't understand fandom anymore. If they hate this but like Rogue One? ... I'm in crazy town.
Hatred? At most I've seen indifference or criticism about the concept before it aired. I think That Star Wars Girl was pretty tepid about Andor. But hatred?
Do you have some YouTube links for some of the folks who hate Andor?
I'm just curious what hateful things can be said by anyone who is actually watching the show.

Can anyone pinpoint what it is about the character of Andor people dislike? It's a common theme with friends and people online I'm noticing more and more. Is it a lack of charisma, his speach pattern and consistent out of breath dialog delivery, the stomach ulcer facial expression...?
Is it people would rather Andor be more a rogue and brash character VS the easy to ignore little guy that doesn't stand out in a crowd?
If so, it's actually perfect casting. Consider his self serving actions and criminal nature. Thats the Andor we see and know in the series. What tarnishs that is the mother. Had he been an actual orphan VS someone that's been taken in by a stand in family with morals i think his character would be more accepted. The attempt to make him into a hustler and NOT a strait up criminal is the weakness.

In rogue one he was one note, no real info on him, he just seemed miserable, humorless and unlikeable.
I think he's great in this tho... Sure his expression is mostly the same, but I feel his quiet in every situation... he's constantly taking in his environment, always reading the room, looking for his exit.
I can't even quite put my finger on it, but I always wanted to get back to him on screen.
And I JUST Rewatched Rogue One before this to recheck my feelings on it, and yep, still a boring movie, and he's still a boring character in it.
Love him in Andor... and maybe one of my top characters now.
*shrug*
I thought that might be the case, but that droid seems like it has a lot more sympathy than K2 did. I think that shows how bad, IMO, Lando's droid in SOLO was that I didn't care one way or another about it getting killed. In fact I don't even remember Lando's droid's name at all. OTOH, I felt bad for K2 when he died holding off the Stormtroopers and for the Andor droid when it didn't want to leave the house after its master died.
As for any backlash, I haven't really seen it. I've seen people say it wasn't for them, it was too slow, it didn't feel like SW (probably pacing as well), etc. I also saw a pretty good take by The Critical Drinker who said it was actually the best SW show so far (I'd argue Mando holds that title), but it came out at the wrong time. He argued if it came out before BoBF or Obi-Wan it may have gotten a better spot in the ratings because people have SW fatigue or are just put off by what Lucasfilm is doing with the shows/movies.
Yup completely different personas… i loved that the Bee droid has abandonment issues. Constantly asking people to stay… not wanting to leave. He’s great.
Plus he has a stutter, which K2SO didn’t have
And since K2 was the only thing about rogue one i dug - Looking forward to a return.
I saw a thing today saying season2 will be faster paced… noooo! I like Ridley Scott Star Wars. It’s slow and boring but sometimes that’s what I want in my sci-fi!

Season 2 started filming November 21st. And there is so much backlash for this show that it has been nominated in 2 categories so far in the Critics Choice Awards.
I'm actually holding off on rewatching Rogue One. I want to forget as much as possible and watch it clean after both seasons are done.
I don't know that Cassian's character at that point will even meld to that guy in Rogue One... he'll come off as so flat in that flick after this series.
I mean I didn't watch this series til last week BECAUSE I was so uninterested in his one dimensional Rogue One portrayal... Now it's fair to say he's in my top characters in this whole Star War verse.
I rewatched RO just to refresh myself, hoping after some of these cheaper series I may appreciate the tone, and story more... nope. Again all I cared for was K2SO.
I think tho that my love for Andor gets me extra hyped cuz it just backs up my belief that ANY character can be done justice if the right team is in place.
Ya never know.
