2:40 so refreshing to see an actress that approaches a character with this perspective nowadays. You don't have to be Rambo to display a level of strength.
@@lilmilontiktok I think the quality dramatically changes each show. I really liked Loki and Wandavision, I thought Moon Knight was OK, She Hulk was bad and the others were forgettable for me. I really like The Mandalorian, thought Kenobi was decent and Book of Boba was a mess. Andor is so far above average for me
Its so nice to see actors talking about roles they really enjoy and are unequivocally proud of in a Star Wars project. It's been a while. Not since Rogue One. This is it Disney. Keep doing this.
As someone who has been a lifelong star wars fan, and a theater and stage performer and writer - this show was a virtual masterpiece. The actors turned in an incredibly performance - amazing what can be done with a coherent story and plot combined with excellent directing with vision.
Syril creeps me out in the biggest way and I love that he talked about it as a man who is looking for something but also acknowledged that the way he's doing it isn't healthy. Syril isn't evil for the sake of having a bad guy, Soller made him a full person with his own motivations and that makes him much more threatening.
@@ferrous719 Syril really is creepy, as if at the drop of the wrong pin he could erupt into a deadly rage. That's a perfect description, looking like he's chewing on a wasp.
The fact that this is not more universally considered one of the best pieces of television ever made is really sad to me. I’ve watched it more times than I can count and I still feel the same way as seeing it the first time. What’s more sad is we’ll only get 2 seasons.
What Adria said about “strong” is different from “tough” I fully agree with. Most strong women these days in movies are trying to be tough, whereas Andor makes believable strong female characters
Yes! A mistake that a lot of actresses make is that if they're playing a "strong" woman, they act rather masculine. The actresses on Andor are doing a great job of being strong but still feminine.
Agree 100%. Let’s be honest here, women are attracted to males that show their masculine side (not over done of course) and men are attracted to women that show their feminine side. There are always exceptions, but that’s how the world has always worked, yin/yang. Too much yin power and it’s an issue. Too much Yang power and it’s an issue. We should celebrate our differences not try and constantly blur the line. What’s missing is the divine feminine, replaced by the substitute masculine. What missing is the prime masculine, substituted by focus-less non offensive feminine male.
@@nuxkamina The words/concepts "masculine" and "feminine" have had meaning in every language and culture world-wide since human beings existed, and they still do. Have they always meant exactly the same thing in every age and era in every society? No, but they have always had generally understood meaning in every society. You can argue about it, you can resent it, but these words/concepts are a permanent and natural part of humanity.
Adria sums up the difference between tough and strong with female roles that has been an issue lately and has turned off a lot of fans. I for one agree with her 100%. Her character is strong, wise, ethical, and doesn’t back down. These are qualities that shine in women. I am not saying all women roles should be that way, what I am saying is that too many of the women characters now a days follow a masculine direction. Nothing wrong with that if it’s done in pockets, but not when the majority of women roles presently seem to be “I can do and be everything a man can be”. There are differences in genders, a man would never be a true mother to his children. A man will never be as graceful as a woman. Never is a tough word, there are exceptions. A woman warrior can beat most man non warriors, as an example. A man can be as graceful as a woman, but that’s exception not the common. What characters like Bix and Mon bring to the table is the divine feminine, something that was replaced with the substitute masculine. Also there is nothing wrong with the prime masculine, a good example is Brasso, tough, stoic, but kind and gentle to his friends and family and fiercely protective and dangerous when he needs to be. He is a man of duty and sacrifice. That’s not toxic masculinity (which we can see somewhat with Saw, but his back story shows why he is that way). Point is we have archetypes for a reason. Roles were important for a reason, it reinforces our strengths, and supports our weakness. I’m sure many will disagree with me, but this I think is why shows like this work. Take Dedra for instance, she isn’t tough for the sake of being girl power. She’s tough because she’s competent, brilliant and ruthless in her cause. One would say those are masculine traits, but it’s works because it ties into the story, isn’t outright obvious and they show some weakness in that sense (the finale, when she’s attacked). She also second guesses herself, which adds humanity. She isn’t the strongest, the most sure, more competent even among males, she isn’t the smartest, or the one with all the answers, she’s a human that’s perfect for her duty and happens to be a woman. That’s how you do it.
Disney has made some good stuff ever since they bought Star Wars for the movies the Force Awakens, Rouge one and the last Jedi for Disney plus series Andor and the Mandalorian
See that the problem with this culture being soft is seen as an offense. And women need to be strong as man to be accepted in society. You don't see man saying i don't want to be so strong and it's good just showing softness and crying. That would be ridiculous.
Seeing Diego Luna be so excited for his character makes me happy . Being a fellow Hispanic and a fellow Luna I couldn’t be any more prouder
Right on, samething with Gael Garcia Bernal on WereWolf, los Charolastras kicking butt on Disney!
Fellow Luna here too!
I'm happy for u guys. Great performance with stellar script and direction

I love the way the entire cast's faces were like "aww" when Diego mentioned B-2. Everybody loves a cute droid character!
Amazing premiere. Feels like a massive step up in overall quality for these Disney shows
I feel like im the only one who liked every mcu and star wars disney plus show

Makes sense that the only good Disney Star Wars show is made by the same guy that did Rogue One, the only good Disney Star Wars movie
@@lilmilontiktok youre an npc and should recontruct your brain to being smarter

Makes sense andor is from the same director as rogue one too

After many years toiling as an actor, I hope this is a "big break" for Kyle Soller bc his acting in Andor is top-notch.

Syril is a GREAT character with potential to truly morph in a variety of ways.

@@rowanaforrest9792 what is masculine? These are made up social constructs, concepts to box people into acting a certain way.

Mom moffma actor incredibly underrated, loved her in this show.
She’s a very talented and beautiful woman
This is best show I seen in this years.
Diego(Andor) looking a little like Ewan McGregor here. It’s crazy
Nice to hear Genevieve's Irish accent!
I hope Diego Luna gonna touch Jabba's skin texture in the season 2

This show is truly a masterpiece!!! Love every episode ❤️ ❤️
Bix Callen is now up there with Padmé and Sabine with the most beautiful Dtar Wars characters…
Genevieve is stunningly gorgeous, my GOD!!!

Kyle Soller need to play someone from the family Tyrell in "House of Dragon" !!! he looks like Loras Tyrell here
Maybe the vipers grandfather.

When you meet Star Wars fans, you are already at BSI.
They actually made strong women without it being corny. That’s crazy nowadays
Masterpiece!

Very well said!
If only all writers thought like you, modern tv would be a lot more engaging and entertaining
Perfectly said!!!!
Kyle Soller is a fucking greek god, and nobody can change my mind about that.
Jeezus... Kyle looks super sexy with his curls and beard!
Amazing series.
Es la primera vez que veo a Syril sonreír jajaja
Vampires are some cool people
Andor is what Star Wars could be... but don't underestimate the ability of Disney to turn everything to shit.
Disney has made some good stuff ever since they bought Star Wars for the movies the Force Awakens, Rouge one and the last Jedi for Disney plus series Andor and the Mandalorian
💚🤍❤️

Only watching for Adria
Genevieve, will you marry me?
I LOVE THIS MOVIE, BUT LESBIANISM MAKE DIRTY!!
The actors performance made the show bearable, won't watch it again.
Somebody mad that the big badass empire is shown to be evil and maybe shouldn't be sympathized with?
@@ferrous719 nah probably because it didnt have a jedi main character cameo fan service or massive (no stakes) fight scene every 5 seconds.
Go enjoy the Vespa gang in Boba Fett
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I'll pre-order it on DVD as soon as possible.
