Star Wars: Andor

[Zardnaar]

Yeah, he worked for Bioware, contributing to Mass Effect, KOTOR and Baldur's Gate 2 (I think).

I liked both series, but Rogue Squadron edges it for me.

I hate all things Vong.

The Zahn books are well worth reading if you haven't done so.

Vong stuff was fairly crap his books were the best ones imho.

Think I enjoyed maybe 5/23 of those books or however many there were.

His legacy books were also decent.

Well, that went better than I expected, but I knew someone was going to try to split with Andor just wasn't sure who it was going to be. Also, two of the blasters used are clearly based on the AK lol

Awesome episode. Reminded of those 70’s world war movies with Clint Eastwood and Harrison ford etc.
this should be the standard for Disney television and not the outlier
The one nitpick would be the lack of aliens and wildlife (we did get the dr) but this is the best Star Wars since rogue one

It turned out about as well as I thought it would - success with high casualties. The kid was clearly too good for this world. I wonder what Cassian will do with his manifesto.

Yeah, they were a bit jarring. Cassian's, on the other hand, strongly reminds me of Kyle Katarn's blaster from the Jedi Knight games.

Good, tense episode. I agree with @wicked cool , very reminiscent of the old war movies - very much like Rogue One, in fact. The scenes at the end, with Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael, were great to take the viewer out of the tension of the small-scale bloody heist and remind them that there's a whole Rebellion at stake.

And shows the scale of what they pulled off. We knew it was a big heist, but there was no real indication of its significance on a galactic level. Now we know that it was sufficient to interrupt a Senate session, and galvanise the entire Imperial Security Bureau headquarters.

That's because it's the exact same model as Kyle Katarn's blaster.

Great episode, the visuals of the ships flying into the sky filled with lights was pretty stunning.
While the pacing feels slow across the series so far, the payoffs already feel worth it.

It needed to be successful, in order to give the ISB a reason to pursue Andor. Otherwise, there would be nothing to connect those plot threads together.
