And this is done by Tony Gilroy who was responsible for the Rogue One reshoots and re-done third act.

Star Wars used to be an event, a rare treat. Now we are being force-fed all these shows non-stop.
Mandalorian was a fun ride, but when Book of Boba came out, I was already exhausted. This?
Who wants to watch a whole series about a character nobody gives a crap about based on a depressing, middling spin-off movie that merely found average success because the main movies were so terrible in comparison?
I don't watch Star Wars for its "spy thriller'esque" qualities.

Geez, boba fett and mando cinematography looks like saturady morning cartoons compared to this. Sad that this uninteresting character gets the best looking show. Hopefully he'll be an interesting character by the end. Even Obi looks cheap compared to this and Obi is a main character.

Backstory for Cassian Andor who dies in Rogue One and came from a Separatist planet from the Clone Wars. Mon Mothma and Saw are both in it, so there will probably be stuff about the beginnings of the Rebellion.

Rogue one is great, looking forward to this.

It looks like they're definitely doing the Rogue One treatment here. This looks more serious and mature compared to other Star Wars series.

Rogue One is best thing Disney has done with Star Wars outside of a few episodes of Mando.

I actually thought Solo was the best Disney Star Wars, but I'm also interested in this. Cassian Andor gives us a great opportunity to explore more of the Galaxy Far, Far Away from a non-jedi perspective 
I hope we see some cool urban settings! Star Wars crowds are the best.

If it's just a down and dirty rebels vs imperials tv show the style of Rogue One, then I'm in. Please don't have ton of shitty cameos and name dropping garbage, just give us unique perspectives and new takes on star wars that isn't pure fan wank

who the fuck is cassian andor? this should have been a kyle katarn show and it would automatically be 100x more interesting

It's simply a matter of them already figuring out how laser blasts and light swords have worked for years now. For Marvel whenever they have to do full body CG like Hulk and She Hulk it comes with a ton of caveats and challenges. Most Captain America movies looked so good because it's essentially just a soldier with a shield in espionage situations.

You do realise that Lucas milked the Star Wars cow to hell and back as well right? He just didn't have the foresight that Disney had to try and make TV shows about the universe. But in all honesty, when he owned Star Wars, TV shows weren't quite the same standard as what we get these days.

Hell he hired writers and had 50 scripts written for a TV show. But back then TV show VFX was nowhere near to what it is today and they couldn't realistically make a Star Wars show then. Those scripts are being repurposed into the new stuff now.

And at the moment, Disney+ is firing on all cylinders. When Disney+ first people complained that there was no content, now they'll complain that they are milking cows with their properties. Disney can't win with some people.
Obi-Wan, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Andor, Willow. Is Mando S3 coming out this year as well?
ManaByte

Mando is February, then Ahsoka is after it likely in May. 2023 is Mando S3, Ahsoka S1, Skeleton Crew, then Andor S2.
Ahsoka is filming now, Skeleton Crew starts in the fall, then Andor S2.

I have no idea what you're talking about, all Lucas did was 3 mediocre movies after the original ones, on the other hand Disney has bombarded us with an onslaught of Star Wars crap for years now.

I loved Rouge One, the best SW film since TESB.
I hope Andor captures the grittiness of Rouge One, trailer looks like it will.

Rogue One was decent and looked great, but eh, it didn't really pull me in.
Now Solo, I loved that, bad jokes and all.
Husky
, I wasn't expecting to find another fan of it!
I don't care that Alden Ehrenreich was apparently 'not very good'. I thought he was great. But, I think Daisy Ridley is a poor actress and almost single-handedly made the sequel trilogy terrible (and that's without the even worse stuff in it).

Do you know how many books, comics and merchandise was churned out under Lucas? He was planning to do movies 7-9 as well until fans ripped out his heart and demoralised him.
And when technology was up to standard he did the Clone Wars cartoon.
Konnor

The books comics and merchandise are the standard and are spammed by Disney as well. Only Star Wars super nerds care about those anyway, the point is that between the end of the original trilogy in 1983 and 2012 Lucas had only produced three movies. It's been 10 years since then and Disney has spammed us with countless mediocre trash milking the franchise to death. That just 10 years compared to the 20 it took for Lucas to make 3 movies. Imagine even trying to compare the two, absolutely ridiculous.

This looks better than any other SW shows so far, but still looks boring.
I wish they would go one or two thousand years before or after the Skywalker saga. This shit is just giving me stuff I already had imagined in my head as a kid - and I feel I did a better job of that than Disney.
Like at best this is building tension for an end result we've already seen. I still hope it's okay.

Its true that it has been milked and mediocre, but we should judge Andor on its own merits when it releases. The spamming of Star Trek shit in the 90s didn't make Deep Space Nine any less brilliant. This can be a good show.
Konnor

If Star Trek had spammed us with a bunch of mediocre crap I'd be very suspicious of Deep Space Nine too like I am of Star Wars now or, you know, modern Star Trek. Not to mention it's not just the franchise, it's the company that uses it, Disney has been milking franchises and making products like it's a fucking factory for years now. It's the usual Disney recipe of inoffensive and bland characters, storytelling and action, terrible comedy that is used to make light of any situation no matter how dire it is so that the viewer doesn't get too upset and forgettable story that is only used as a medium for getting to the next CGI-fest action scene. I am genuinely sick and tired of that recipe and the awful cynicism with which Disney applies it to almost every product of theirs the last 10 years.

Sort of feel the same though I'll still watch Obi Wan.
I think I'd be more interested if we finally moved away from the original trilogy and timeline. I'm tired of the same aesthetic, rebels vs empire narrative and just knowing it all leads to the awful sequel trilogy

I think you hit the nail on the head on how I felt watching the latest Thor trailer. It's just almost pure comedy at this point. Typical trailer, start with some humor, introduce villain, end with bland CGI fighty, fight and maybe another wink to end it all. Rinse. Repeat.

Marvel movies are even worse at it than Star Wars, it's like these fuckers refuse to commit to anything serious because God forbid if the viewer feels anything strong watching their movies, let's just make fun of anything serious just to keep things light and peppy even when there are people dying, tortured, genocided and so on. "Haha, the character is being tortured but he made that funny joke, don't take it too seriously OK? Haha"
It a big part of the reason why this trash is so forgettable, there are no real stakes, no emotional investment, no real characters that act like actual people. Everything is the same fucking movie/show with different themes, even most of the characters act the same.
