TANV Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 "One way out." Each time I think "This episode is the best Star Wars I've seen," it always keeps escalating somehow. This show is a GOOD show without magic space wizards or laser swords! I am very much surprised and on the edge of my seat often with the acting, the set pieces, and the storytelling. The writing is so much more in depth and complex for something I would've never expected from Disney Star Wars. Also casting Stellan Skarsgård is PHENOMENAL! Chef's kiss! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, loving this show, but the rewatchability is lacking compared to other visual effects heavy Star Wars film/TV media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvHulk Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Andor is how Star Wars should be done. Dark, gritty and unforgiving. I might have enjoyed this more than The Mandalorian, in different ways though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BricksBrotha Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Its been a while since I hit rewind on a scene and re-watched it a dozen times. This scene was one of them. Also, the story telling, framing and mystery behind the jail predicament on Narkina 5 has been diabolical. Simple, yet tantalizing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple, yet tantalizing. We see how the Empire actually affects normal people's lives and how insidious it can be. It's not so much as incompetent stormtroopers or tons of disposable TIE fighters, but a vast, bureaucratic and dehumanizing MACHINE that consumes people. What I also love about this show is the great sense of scale it gives you. Every location feels...REAL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I think people who slept on this show because they were let down by BoBF or Kenobi really missed out. Great writing and pacing. I had to read the transcript of Forrest Whittaker’s short cameo as Saw Guerra because I didn’t pick up on all the nuances but it was well worth the read. We’ve never really gotten a clear picture of how the Rebel alliance formed and it’s refreshing to get some nuance and see how messy things were. Any ideas about the equation Luthen Rael alluded to at the end of the last episode?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KvHulk Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I thought last week was the season finale but there are 2 more episodes? I feel like I'm in the early stages of Alzheimer's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Great show, has made me go back to watch Rogue One and try and collect those Minifigures. Surprised that the Rogue one sets haven't really appreciated much even though retired in 2018. Scariff / shoretroppers and K2S0 minifigs going for good money Edited November 24, 2022 by Voltron 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrToes16 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Andor isn’t the Star Wars we needed…it’s the show we deserved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
