Star Wars: Andor

[wicked cool]

Might be the best marvel Disney show so far after 3 episodes. Right up there with mandalorian. For me this has a very skirmish/spy game feel to it . Loving that they aren’t holding back the grit etc. I will be rewatching rogue 1 after

I think it was a smart move to release the first three episodes together. Without ep. 3, people would complain that it's too slow and nothing is happening. But they know that pretty much everyone who cares enough to watch on the first day will watch all three of them, so they get to build their world first and still give the fans an excellent and very tense episode that will keep them coming back for more.

I definitely agree. If only the 1st episode had come out today, I would not have been impressed and would have probably waited until there were another 4 or 5 episodes available before trying the show again. But with three episodes to start with, I enjoyed it enough to be mad at Lucasfilm for changing the ending of Rogue One. I want the version from the first trailers that showed Jyn and Cassian surviving, not the version where everyone dies. I still have not rewatched it because of that.

I'm also the one person on Earth that likes Solo.

I never got the hate for Solo. It's just easy, breezy, unpretentious and fun sci-fi action.

I think it mainly just suffered from Star Wars burnout, with too many movies coming out in quick succession. Particularly amongst the people who feel obligated in some way to have hot takes on every Star Wars thing but who no longer actually enjoy the franchise (or at least don't enjoy it enough to be happy to go see something in a theater).

I hope everything starring Cassian Andor opens with a cold-blooded murder. We’re two for two so far!

I do love the poor, earnest little red cube-droid (is his name just B?). He reminds me of B.O.B. from The Black Hole. Lying to people is so difficult he has to recharge afterwards? Just too cute.

B2-emo I believe. I think I got that from the subtitles.

A good first three episodes. That corpo officer has definite Inspector Javert vibes - I can easily see him either trying to join the Imperial military or going on his own little crusade after his superior inevitably fires him.

I thought the same thing. This becomes an obsession for him. I'm afraid that Andor's friends will blame him instead of the officers for how things went down.

What's really impressive in these first three episodes is that they've managed to very effectively convey the sense of Imperial oppression, without showing us even a single Imperial trooper, officer or vehicle.

I wouldn't get too attached to it. Disney SW droids have a tendency to die.

BB-8 didn't.

Unfortunately.

I am quite pleased by the refreshing lack of troopers, Jedi, and lightsabers.
