    I’ve seen almost every movie and series of the Star Wars franchise. I think Andor is undoubtedly the best series of the entire franchise. They hired extremely talented actors for virtually every role. The cinematography is fantastic. The story is real. The characters are fantastic and we become invested in them. I’m seriously glad that light sabers weren’t in it. It was so incredibly good that I’m actually angry that I have to wait so long for the second series.

    This show brilliantly shows why the people really need to rebel against the Empire. You know.. that sham court scene during Cassian's vacation trip.. No other Star Wars movie/show do that. Sure, the elites have their reason and suddenly they do their battle. But we never relate WHY the people should hates the Empire, this show shows that

    Rogue One made me care about all the characters, to the point where I was excited to hear about Andor, but also feared Disney was going to screw it up as they had most everything else in Star Wars and everything else they have touched. I saw the trailer and it made me optimistic, yet still skeptical because I had been burned by good trailers or a few decent to good episodes of the other shows. Andor was amazing start, to finish. It drove into my love of Rogue One from start to finish, both feel cohesive and as one with what was originally started with the original Star Wars movie. The only people I see hating this show are those that watch for the flash and the story often means nothing. Rey is so popular with today's crowd because no effort for her to just be, powerful. This show has real consequences for every choice made on every side and for everyone. This feels like a story written for a generation that grew up watching Batman the Animated Series, X-Men, and later Batman: Beyond and Teen Titans. Those shows were "kids shows" but they had enough dark subject matter and were so well written and made, even adults can still connect to those characters now. The new Star Wars movies are for "kids" with short attention spans and want instant gratification, most of the shows are trying to live off nostalgia, Rogue One and Andor were made to be true masterpieces of their own and make you think and see between the lines of good, and evil.

    I'm two years too late at 3:55 but those two need SPACE WIZZARDS AND CAMIEOS to make anything Star Wars. They forget that Star Wars the universe is a character itself and develops people to do things that we in reality shouldn't have to do and different cultures Ferrix is a much better planit than Tatoowein than what we know about. You don't always need flashy lights to make it interesting if YOU DO you still have the trained mindset as Star Wars did to sell you more stuff and that's what Disney wants from you.

    In my opinion, Andor (and Rogue One) is THE best installment/story to hit the screen in the SW universe. The characters are painstakingly fleshed out, the production level and sfx are top notch, the acting is INCREDIBLE, and the story is unbelievably well written and well thought out. Does it have a bit of a slow pace at times? Yes. That's what the best stories are SUPPOSED to have - variable pace that is as much a part of the telling of the story as the characters in it. Shawshank, Blade Runner (and especially 2049), Interstellar, The Usual Suspects, Arrival... these are all stories that took their time to introduce the characters and let you get to know them; relate to them. They let the story DEVELOPE! The quick, hand your brain at the door, give me the plot at the beginning type of work...yes, that is ONE way to tell a story. But THE best films/shows I've ever watched and attached to? They happen to be the ones that take more than 5 minutes to figure out. If you just gave the audience the funeral procession and Maarva's speech without all the context that came before, it would just be another riot scene. But, because of the way they built so much time into leading to that scene, all the closeups they gave at the faces in the crowd while Maarva was giving her INCREDIBLE speech...those shots had context and meaning to the viewer, it made us empathize and relate to what those characters MIGHT have been thinking/feeling (without any of them ever saying a word). THAT'S great f'n writing right there. I'm so glad the series and its writers took their time because (and I say this as a 30+ year lover of most things SW) it pulled me into the story more deeply than any other installment ever has. Fingers crossed, but I can't wait for season 2 to drop.

    I want to see more escape scenes that would be considered impossible. The WTF moments where a rebel takes on the Empire against all odds and succeeds. This is great story telling, and really adds value. We know that Palpatine and the storm troopers and the ISB were paranoid for valid reasons; rebel incursions happened often enough to cause the empire to change their tactics because of great losses. Yet, most of these incursions have not been well documented or ever shown on screen and lack story development. We need to see why the empire acted the way that they day, and see them continuously get owned by the rebels is amusing and entertaining.

    I had a friend talk a lot about how Star Wars needed better writing and to step out of its comfort zone, so I told him to watch Andor. Next time I talked to him, he said he couldn’t get invested because he knew how Andor died. The fandom will get what we ask for, ignore it, and then complain when we getting boring, predictable slop.

    @jakubsramek2127 Місяць тому

    I have this idea of "sacrifice of one's own morality". The gist is traditional hero willing to sacrifice even their own life is definitely making one of highest sacrifices, but is there a sacrifice even grander than that? What does a dead hero still possesess which could still be sacrificed? Only three possibilities - reputation of being a self-sacrificing hero, dying with certainty of those we hold close being safe, and lastly our own self-image and self-percetion. To lose the ability to call ourselves good people. To give up our own goodness. Of course such an idea can be oh so easily misused to hide weakness and personal failing as it requires strictest adherence to our values which should be altruistic in nature, it's simply very difficult to pull off, but hey, that's the benefit of fiction. We can make the impossible into reality.

    Not gonna defend GOT season 8, but I don't think it was out-of-character for Daenerys to change like that. The saying goes "Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin." Throughout the series she tried hard to project an image of being kind & just, trying not only to convince others, but also herself. But there were hints of her Dark Targaryen nature peaking through (e.g. crucifying people who had nothing to do with those children being crucified). It just finally fully surfaced at the end. (I know, I know, nothing before the "but" ever really counts.)

    @joebundens2197 Місяць тому

    There is an argument that Andor and Rogue One are some of the best Star Wars content ever, even considered better than Empire in some circles. Tony Gilroy provided support to both (Disney should take note) who provided great direction on story and character development. What Empire, Rogue One and Andor have in common are how the characters are really fleshed out and believable. Empire is a non-stoppable force that won't stop to squeeze out every hint of insurrection, much like Nazi Germany did. Not everything is fully explained. I don't need to know how the force works, it just happens. There are complete plot points that happen off-screen in Andor that are discussed but not shown. They let the audience figure things out and leave some things as vague and a mystery. They also explain the flaw more deeply, that the Empire is so proud of itself, it doesn't think anything about an insurrection which they exploit during Rogue One and New Hope.
