    "And now, we bring you tonight's TV movie premiere. Get ready to travel to a far away galaxy that existed a long, long time ago. It's the science fiction spectacular...ANDOR. Every Thursday night, only on ABC."

      If someone made a sci fi show that had this campy tounge-in-cheek aesthetic all the way through, I think it would be a hit. Something that rode the line between being a serious show and parody, kinda like The Orville but paying homage to the 70s instead of the 90s.

    As a major Andor fan I can't stop loving this. The slick 1970s version of the Andor theme, the corny character intros, the solid pic of Cassian in the intro/outro, the description about you can watch it on ABC on Thursday's and that line 'chosen by happenstance to become leader of a revolution' lol.

      Right? I kinda wonder if even the prequel trilogy would feel more aligned with ot if you did this, because it might actually mask the digital elements better and give everything a more cohesive look.
      I don't know about you, but I had a friend whose parents were early adopters of blue-ray and big screen TVs, and I remember watching 90s and 80s movies obviously made to be displayed on CRT monitors and thinking it looked horrible because the effects and sets all ended up looking terribly artificial and out of place.
      Filters like the ones used on this video tend to unify all the visual elements so now I genuinly want this.

      @@hian Prequels are perfectly cohesive visually as is. In fact it's so cohesive that many people mistake the practical effects for CGI.
      Plus the prequels are supposed to look different. It's the gilded age Obi-wan spoke of in ANH, so it needs to be a bit shiny. Especially since it's at the center of the galaxy rather than on the edge like in the OT.

      You might think so, but I don't. And frankly speaking, I find it baffling that you'd argue otherwise.
      There's a very clear distinction between the visual quality of the prequels - in that they look much better than the OT - and my point wasn't that I would want to put retro filter on them to make them "look better", but to make them look consistent with the OT on the level of visual fidelity, which they clearly are not.
      The argument that they are is self-defeating and absurd, as made obvious by the fact that George Lucas felt it necessary to go back and remaster the OT and its visual effects.
      The fact that some people struggle to differentiate between digital and practical effects in the PT is a red herring and not an argument since I said nothing on that front and you have no clue what I'm able to distinguish or not.
      I am perfectly aware that the PT had more practical effects than the OT by far, but that's also a red herring because they ALSO have far more digital effects - most of which have aged and don't look very good on modern displays in resolutions like 4K etc. But also, don't look consistent with the digital effects in the OT, which have aged even worse.
      The digital creatures especially so.
      I wasn't condemning the PT - I love the PT - so you can take your preemptive PT apologism to a red letter media comment or something.
      My only point with my previous post is that it would be interesting to watch the Star Wars movies back to back, all of them actually looking like they were produced and made in the 70s, rather than it being obvious at a glance that they were produced years/decades apart.

    I'm a kid again! You did that guy's voice perfectly. He narrated every trailer back in the day. I would just be getting into something like this when Mom would call me to supper. lol

    Love how it starts with a Doctor Who vibe but then gets into that old timey actor list thing (which they never did in Doctor Who).

      @@bigdude7761 Maybe - the ANDOR title style is plainly Space 1999 inspired. But the thing with listing the actors that way was common with lots of TV shows back then, and I don't think the Space 1999 opening titles are really typical examples of that (not that many of the actors featured in the opening, compared to what was typical at the time).
