Ditto the interview. Makes me look forward to this quite a bit more.

Andor is written and produced by Tony Gilroy, the guy who directed the brilliant Michael Clayton. This is a well written show that is slow cook thing, which is fine. Andor is what most Star Wars is not, which is why the metrics are terrible. No light sabors, no space ship dog fights, no jedi, no force.

Sounds like it could be a good series, but it doesn’t sound like Star Wars.


Well... if you did the same thing over and over again, people would take it to task for doing exactly that. Which they already did with The Force Awakens. And the lesser Rise Of Skywalker. So I say throw out those considerations and just tell a damn good story. Sounds like Gilroy is endeavouring to do that.

You don't need to strip an IP of its identify in order to do something interesting. TFA and ROS weren't bad because there were force themes and light saber fights, but because they weren't done well. This is my biggest critique of Nu Star Trek and now TROP. Both betraying the essence of the IP. That said I may check out this series, I'm starving for a good sci fi series regardless what its called.

I just finished ANDOR...for me, the best SW series Disney has yet produced by far. The production is absolutely first rate, and the writing is routinely sharp. And it really does a phenomenal job in diving into the machinations of the Empire, in both political and security. But I do like the primary character Andor and how it develops him into an actual rebel. The series does have a more serious tone and subtext, in showing how rebellions foster and develop. The cast is good, but the standouts are Stellan Skarsgard(not surprising here) as the complicated and pretty ruthless rebel planner and instigator Luthen. But an even bigger standout for me is Genevieve O'Reilly's Mon Mothma, the gorgeous, elegant and smart Galactic senator who wary if not downright nervous of taking her anti Imperial views and actions further than she already has. I can't take my eyes off of her, and she conveys her complicated feelings at times with just subtle look of the eyes.

The series is not an action fest but a suspenseful and at times downright nerve racking show. The finale was brilliantly staged and I for one am def looking forward to season 2.

It's the best SW thing produced, period, in the Disney era if you ask me. I don't think it ever would've come from the mind of George Lucas, either. I've watched through it twice. I doubt there will ever be a physical release but I would happily buy it.
