Star Wars Andor (Disney+ TV series)

Absolutely fantastic

Lucasfilm has redeemed itself (all thanks to Tony Gilroy)

I've come to a good place in my mind now, it all comes down to if I view Disney Star Wars as different genres, sort of like how the Marvel films do it, we had the Space Western for S1 & half of S2 of Mandalorian, we had the kids series for Skeleton Crew, we had Dave Filoni's Sandpit shows like Ashoka & Season half of S2 & 3 of Mandalorian, Obi-Wan & Book of Boba

The rest (Acolyte, the Sequels & The Solo Movie) were just badly planned disasters

I don't like all of what they've done & I'm cool with that

I have my George films, Rogue One & Andor & I'm happy, I honestly dont think I will see this quality again

I hope they continue the genre themes, I have an idea for a Star Wars Horror, which is like a 70's Alien/Star Wars thought, this could be an area I think they could explore

Immediately after finishing the Andor series last night I put on the first scene that Andor appears in Rogue One in The Ring of Kafrene, when he talks to Tivik you can see that the talk of 'Planet Killer' and 'Cyber Crystals' doesn't seem as new news, & when Tivik mentions the name 'Urso', Cassian says 'Galen Urso?'

Going to rewatch Rogue One in its entirety this weekend

Really excellent analysis jt.

Nothing really bad to say (just the slow burn of the first 3 episodes), the rest was stellar: crew and cast did an amazing job, thanks to very good writing:cool::cool:(y)(y):love::love: I'm sure to watch Rogue One soon after!
On a rewatch it needed to bed you back into the characters without spoonfeeding us like so many TV shows do these days..
You know somethings good when the theme tune is Still on repeat in your head and it certainly beats "By the rivers of Babylon" that's what I hear everytime my new pups greet me in the mornings Atm.. :D
 
I really wonder how the ISB got Nemik’s manifesto.

Anyone else catch the elevator music version of Niamos? Lol
I absolutely loved the callback to nemiks manifesto. They could've had it play over the hopefully montage at the end and it would've all been a big trite. But having it play for Partagaz as he comes to terms with the empires fragility... that was just perfect.

What a phenomenal show, start to finish

Like season 1, the first episode of each was a bit tough to get through and ultimately could have been skipped
similarly the next few episodes of each were a bit of a slog as well, but by mid-season it really hit it's stride and a strong finish for both

I can see why a lot of people tuned out based on the first few episodes. It is unfortunate though because there were some big payoffs for each

It very much follow the pattern/beats/pacing of Rogue One, just stretched out over a season instead of feature film length

It did a very good job expanding on Rogue One
 
Does it bug anyone else how Andor made the K-X series droids basically bulletproof, while in R1 they can die from a single blaster shot? I know it's super petty to be annoyed, but when you watch them back-to-back the change is really noticeable. Especially since K-2SO dies from blaster fire...

Probably the difference between civilian weaponry and the stuff Stormtroopers carry. The Ghorman Rebels were armed entirely by a planned distribution from the Empire, probably gave them sabotaged, limited power guns.

Even the ISB's blaster bolts bounced off. I doubt the Empire gave their police force substandard guns.

Maybe not bugged as per say, but this small detail had obviously did jump into my face about it. And made me questioned this during the episodes compared to R1 K-2 series being able to be killed so easily.
