So you are not watching Obi Wan Kenobi? You know he dies later in another movie too, right? So okay, we know Andor will not die but there will probably be other characters who could like that you will bedoncered with and even mission and goal objectives that you will wonder if they will fail or succeed. I don't think knowing the fate of one character strips the drama.
Ok, there is another on of my points as you seems like you might be having a issue more with the other series than this one. You can check but I think what most interviews say is that the simply base the episodes on the story runners objective to tell the story they want to tell.
Additionally, did you actually poll the fan base and find out that "no one" asked for it? I may not have asked for Andor but I did ask for a series that further explored the rebellion prior the events of R1 and A New Hope. More so than what Rebels did.
Also, I think if we were to take you question, we might also say in the same way... Who asked for Star Wars? Just because people do not ask for something, does not mean it does not have value.
Once again this sound like a judgement because people don't get what they want rather than what the series has to offer. This was a teaser trailer. So we do not know what craft will show up or when, Are you going to really throw a strike against a whole series if a U-Wing does not appear in this series?
See above comment.
Kind of seems like it is the other way around. But that's just my opinion
I think you bring up some good points.
To start off, I will admit that I think Rogue One is exceptionally flawed. I think there are too many characters as well as no real main character. The first half (first two-thirds, really) is slow. And they didn’t need to kill off
all the characters. That being said, I think visually and aurally it’s a perfect film. Production design, score, sound design, cinematography are all exactly what I’d want from a modern Star Wars film. Moreover, out of all the characters in the movie, Cassian is the one with the most potential to tell an interesting story and I’m supremely glad they’re making this show. I also really like Diego Luna. Again, while I don’t think it was necessary to kill every character, I also don’t mind watching a show about a character whose fate we already know. I liked Solo, a lot, and we all knew he’d end up falling off a space bridge with a lightsaber in his gut.
As for the shades of grey/grittiness debate, I think it’s fine for people not to want to watch this over that but I still think there’s room for both the idealistic, pure good-and-evil of the OT and for some shades-of-grey type stuff around the edges. Especially if the Rebellion is still in its infancy and there are multiple factions, like Rogue One showed with Saw Guerrera’s extremists.
Anyway, I really hope the fighting calms down in this thread. I think a lot of things are being thrown around because it can be hard to interpret intent with just the written word, and it’s a subject we’re all very passionate about. If anything else, please, remember this—
IT’S DIS
DAIN, YOU FOOLS. STOP THROWING A “T” IN THERE.
