Andor is the only Star Wars content I'm interested in these days. Hope it's at least as good as last season.

Watch season 1 and try this again. It's the best Star Wars since the old trilogy. By far.

I watched it!
It was completely pointless in the grand scheme of story wars story.
Nothing that happened was relevant.

It was a perfect representation of the "common" guys. Star Wars has always been a bunch of heroes fighting off stupid minions that can't hit the target. Andor was the first show that made you experience the fear the empire is oozing out. That tie fighter scene, man… chills!

So it's slowly becoming the Hallmark channel?

first 3 wasn't nearly as good as the first season. the show does still look beautiful the $290 million budget really shows.

Well. Whoa, the first three episodes are a bit of a mixed bag. The good and the bad.
The good stuff is pretty easy to spot:
The good stuff is pretty easy to spot:
- Incredible production quality for the budget. Costumes, environments, etc. Everything looks great and tasteful. Compared to the garbage we got in Boba Fett and The Acolyte, this is money well spent.
- The intro of episode 1 is perfect.
- Solid acting, which saves a few scenes (unlike the two other shows mentioned above).
- The rebels are dumb, and honestly, that makes more sense.
- Dedra and Syril are still compelling.
- Mon Mothma's dance sequence — excellent.
- The overall setup works well across the three episodes. There's tension, events overlapping... but I don't know, something just feels off. In Season 1, the secondary characters were easy to get attached to. Here, the rebels are forgettable, and none of the new side characters really stand out.
- The rape scene is powerful, but the Imperial officer is so unbelievably stupid that it kills the credibility of the moment.
- A bit too caricatured: all WASPs on Chandrila, and a joyful multi-ethnic cast on the farming planet… Meh, Tony, you've done better.
- Some of the Chandrila scenes could've been trimmed. We go in circles with Tay — like, okay, we get there's a problem, no need to rehash it three times.
- Luthen is too flat in this stretch. Honestly, any random actor could've played his part.

With all the fuss about the Oblivion remaster I completely forgot about this lol. Will try and make some time to watch it asap, loved S1.

I'm retarded?
This is the final season and the prequel to Rogue One right? Havent seen s1 yet, was waiting for it to be done. Not a fan of prequels but might give it a go.

Strange start, i like Andor as it was a gritty and realistic show in the Star Wars universe, he should be dead after 10 mins lol, what kind of escape plan includes not knowing how to fly a Tie Fighter but magically surviving every one of the many mishaps lol.
Not gonna lie, a Star Wars Hallmark movie about small planet girl who leaves to go to Coruscant and meets super busy Imperial lawyer and then is sent back to small planet where she runs into high school small planet flame who secretly a Rebel and now she has to choose.......damn, that's some crossover synergy!!!
Get the "that's so fetch" lady from Mean Girls who's in all of these hallmark films to star!
Bet you could get Mark Hamill to be cranky old man johnson, Billy Dee Williams as the barber who dispenses wisdom, Anthony Daniels is the town mayor, a picture of Harrison Ford on a wall.....it would be great!
Agreed with the sentiments in here so far. Great production values, but the scenario and character writing have taken a dip. The forest stuff in particular is really grating and unnatural, like theater kids cosplaying as dumb, impulsive partisans. But I will continue.

The attempted rape scene is an intentional metaphor for what Disney has done to the Star Wars franchise over the years.
Powerful.
Powerful.

That Episode 1 first scene...
As for the rest, it is the zany and dumb part of Star Wars we're seeing here, the calm before the storm, I hope.

If S1 is anything to go by, I'm seeing Saw Guerrera/Luthen coming for Cassian and executing every last one of those Mai Tai dumbfucks.

Having finally watched Andor over the weekend, these new episodes are garbage lol
The Rebel Moon Rape on Farm Planet subplot, the endless boring rituals, the super lame vibes at the party, the repetitive plot with that one guy.
I liked the mother scenes because they were so Lynchian but the rest is just Disney Star Wars and I hate it.

Rough start, TBH....
Hopefully this picks up.....
-I dont give a fuck about the romance between 2 imperial officers (my gut tells me one of them will betray the empire....probably the blonde chick)
-Who cares about Mon Mothmas kid's wedding, and what was up with her just geting trashed and dancing like a doofus a rave party in Ep 3?

I thought the opening 3 episodes had a lot of filler for a final season of a big budget show.
Started off on a high note but it had an extended adventure to the jungle planet that didn't seem to matter and we got Mon Mothma tied to a wedding for 3 episodes. This is in stark contrast to the gritty Blade Runner opening of the first season.
The most we learned of the larger plot seems to come from the Imperials trying to mine a planet critical to the Death Star development.
There's a lot of ground to cover between episode 3 and Mon Mothma bringing the Rebellion public in 2BBY or Rogue One, whichever point is the end.

Lovely, has a certain Mass Effect 1 vibe to it.

I really liked the first 3 episodes. It's a show that's just as much about political intrigue as it is any sort of action.
The stuff with Mon Mothma was meant to show the side of the elite getting involved in this rebellion and I thought it was handled really well. They are at her kid's wedding because she got involved with that scoundrel and promised away her son to support the rebellion. It's about what she sacrificed for the cause, despite living a posh life. Things are unravelling around her hence why they have her do the weird dancing at the end, I think it was meant to be symbolic as well with how everyone was sort of crowding her (walls closing in.)
The rebels that Andor was dealing with were somewhat of a weak point but a lot of that is just slightly goofy acting; the "point" likely was that groups of rebels are not going to be cohesive and are going to involve a whole lot of people that don't know WTF they are doing, and are likely to turn on each other. Their sacrifice is to starve and probably die.
You had the elites at the top, you had those idiots at the bottom, and then the more organized but still at peril rebels hiding on the farms who are destined to be actually effective soldiers/leaders sandwiched between. And of course we saw the literal sacrifice of one of their own.
