[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9727507, member: 7033171"] I finally finished Andor last night with my SO. It was really good! An actual good Star Wars series with great characters. But I don't think its as perfect as some people make it out to be. I think my main gripe is the clash of serious political tones with the fantastical over-the-top universe of Star Wars. It just clashes often in Andor. I think the series is at best when focussing on the rebels side, but whenever the Imperium is in focus I often can't take it seriously anymore because they are just a caricature. When the Intelligence officers stomp around with their theatrical antics it doesn't fit the serious, "realistic" tone that Andor tries to achieve. When the Death Star gets introduced in the old movies with their fantastical setting, you don't think too much about it - of course the evil empire has a super weapon. But in the "realistic" setting of Andor I couldn't help but think what an illogical project the Death Star is for a empire with no direct threat or competitor. I did like though the endings of many of the Imperial Intelligence officers in the last episodes, because that is indeed a more real depiction of fascists: They will destroy themselves. [/QUOTE]
