Star Wars: Andor

Yup, B2EMO. No dash.

B2EMO is okay.

But I'll stick with BMO

Besides NED-B in Obi-Wan (one of two significant characters to die, if I remember correctly - even the two Inquisitors who were stabbed in the gut got better), there's K-2SO in Rogue One and L3-37 in Solo.

ETA: there's also IG-11 in The Mandalorian.

Andor, on the other hand, has actually shown human characters bleeding on-screen, a first for Star Wars if I'm not mistaken.

I suppose we should be glad it was Disney that bought Star Wars, and not Microsoft. Otherwise we'd be watching shows about CL-P:

Silly question-is Andor. the only 1 of his race in these episodes? Other than the flashbacks .
When he looks down into the valley which looks like a temple was that location from lore?
The flashbacks reminded me of lord of the flies but like I said above any insights on what say the crew from the crashed ship was from etc

You mean when he looked down the hill and at the huge strip-mining operation, where some accident caused the operation, and the planet, to be abandoned? I can't figure out if the kids were born on the planet right before the accident, and all their adult family and tribal members died in whatever happened, or it has been a couple of generations, though a longer time period would not explain why there are no older people present. As for being the only one, he is looking for his sister, so I am sure we will get more flashbacks of the Republic ship sending down troops to investigate and evacuating all the other kids from the planet?

The flashbacks are post-clone wars, but before the Republic becomes the Empire, which I figured out after looking up Cassian's age. And that is something I have to call BS on, though. In trying to figure out when the flashbacks are set, I find that Cassian Andor is only 26 years old in Rogue One, as he is listed as being born in 26 BBY, making him merely 21 during Andor, while being played by a 42-year old actor (37 in Rogue One). I will never be able to believe the character is that young and that hurts the immersion some. Hopefully what this article talks about how the series is changing the canon about Cassian and making the character older is true.

Everybody’s talking about Kenari!

The first two epidodes were a bit of a slog, but the pace picked up in the third one (perhaps it is no coincidence that they released the first three together). Great atmosphere and visuals. Let's see where it goes.

after his superior inevitably fires him.

Or he goes after his boss for dereliction of duty, as suggested by the sergeant... Possibilities!

I can buy him as a twenty-something in the present narrative, but not twenty-one.

As others have said, it is a slow burn for the first two episodes but worth it for what we get in the third. What I really liked is you could lose the Star Wars name and background info and still appreciate what we're getting. The characters, themes, visuals, etc are all working with maybe one Imperial symbol shown through three episodes. It's nice that it is Star Wars but if it can stand on it's own two feet without needing anything prior that is a strong indicator of a good story.

I liked it and it's getting good reviews. Highest since Mandalorian.

End up liking Obi Wan a bit but the first two episodes were weaker than Andor.

Book of Boba Fett they dropped the ball on that one.

Disney has been nailing the droids though since Chopper in Rebels.

Only watched one so far. I liked it, though I don't get why we get a foreign language and no subtitles.....I get they are trying to show is they are not part of the bigger empire in a way, but I never get movies and tv shows that do that when the characters understand the language.
