Read a lot of good things about Andor from normies/ fans of SW and some people in here, about it being the only good thing SW from last years, decided to give it a shot.
first episode
boring, underwhelming characters
nothing really hooked me, couldn't care much about what happens with the story from the first episode
second episode
still boring, underwhelming characters and story, nothing really hooked me etc etc, same thing
Does it eventually get interesting? Should I press on/ insist?
keep it.
I had the same experience. Watched the first two episodes in 2022, didn't like it, then tried again last March, slogged through and started to get into it slowly by episode 3. After the end of episode 6 I was hooked.
I probably will because I have nothing to watch at the moment, but from which episode would you say it gets good?
Okay, I'll give it a shot
Ty anons
Because it's designed to be watched in chunks of threes, which was how it was released
3 episodes a week
If you’re expecting shootouts and quippy characters, it’s not that. If you want to watch something that actually tries to answer how a rebellion forms in a totalitarian regime—how people get radicalized, betray each other, make compromises—it’s worth your time. The writing’s tight, the production design is sharp, and it’s probably the least "onions" thing Star Wars has done in years.
It’s not for everyone, but it respects the viewer way more than most modern TV.
em dash
Does it eventually get interesting? Should I press on/ insist?
No, it's slop.
shallow emotional criticism, "boring", "didn't hook me"
Low IQ post, OP. I know you're conditioned by the prequels, but try to use your brain.
overrated trash/slop.
you can skip the first 3 episodes of season 2- literally a waste of time in which nothing happens.
then, you have episodes 4-9, which you can also skip most of them.
9 hours and all we got to see in these 9 hours was luthen getting shot, mothma saying 1 sentence in the senate that palps is boo-boo and people getting shot on ghorman.
watching nuwars
everyone knows only retards like it
Definitely insist. Star Wars has never been so good. Disney have hit it out the park.
>em dash
The erm based dash
/thread
luthen getting shot
when did Luthen get shot?
Literally never, please ignore the braindead ESLs.
It's also completely dry and basically only using SW for clout because it would have been canned already otherwise.

it certainly tried

What the fuck does that even mean idiot it wouldn't exist if it wasn't a Star Wars show fucking Kathleen Kennedy asked Tony Gilroy personally to make this
Skeleton Crew is the only good Star Wars thing in recent years.
everything related to Rogue One is a big circlejerk, and I have no idea why
How dare people expect fun when watching Star Wars.
liking things is le bad
The 10% of posters on this board who ragepost non stop to the Star Wars threads are insufferable.
it’s probably the least "onions" thing Star Wars has done in years
Andor is Star Wars for the kind of American millennial who thinks saying "genocide" is a big deal and goes
"THIS IS SO POWERFUL AND BRAVE, ITS WHAT WE NEED AS A SOCIETY"
The kind that talks big but is scared shitless of war, which is why there's no warzones here, just what a Californian millennial wants it to be.
This show has nothing to do with how rebel movements are formed in real life, but then again Star Wars is at it's weakest when its based on real events.
Wokeslop.
Good, maybe one day you Star Wars manchildren will fuck off with your generic blockbuster slop like capeshitters did.
Kathleen Kennedy asked Tony Gilroy personally to make this
Not a surprise it comes from the old hag who shat out the sequels.
you actually need a high IQ to understand Soi Wars
So this is what this franchise has come to.
Wish I could travel back in time and kill Lucas to save the world from this worthless brainrot of a franchise.
The capeshit people are still here though. They should be sent to Anon Babble. Us Star Wars fans literally have no home.
I tried setting up a base in Anon Babble, but I got banned.
This show has nothing to do with how rebel movements are formed in real life
On the contrary it's very well captures how rebellions grow, from small groups of the outcasts who have no way to go, but to start cracking the rotten system, to massive uprising
Good, you do not deserve it, from A New Hope Star Wars has been a tumor in cinema, nothing but a series of generic action blockbusters for kids that got bullied in high school.
Us Star Wars fans literally have no home.
And what the hell would some western millennial who has never held a gun know about that?
If it sounds good on your head you always claim its "realistic".
I automatically discarded this when they said its just Rebels vs Empire again.
This war ended in 1983, fucking move on and try to develop new ideas for once.
you can't have an opinion if you're literally not Al Qaeda
The writers have centuries of revolutions to call upon. The inspiration is obvious. It feels very grounded.
It feels very grounded.
According to American millennials, the people qualified the least to talk about such matters.
And what the hell would some western millennial who has never held a gun know about that?
By reading books, or talking with people who were familiar with it.
Pick your poison.
Also, people who wrote Andor are boomers, with relatively fresh memory of resisting Totalitarian regimes.
If it sounds good on your head you always claim its "realistic".
Well good thing I can relate with something beyond my head, historical records of XX and XXI centuries.
Yeah as opposed to sexually depressed basement dweller.
sexually depressed basement dweller.
So, a millennial?
Why are there so many niggers in D starwars?
So, a millennial?
Or zoomer, who is afraid of sex.
Nothing to do with Andor writting team
It’s not for everyone, but it respects the viewer way more than most modern TV.
lol
It's a TV show, Anon. I know everyone is used to movies being stretched into TV shows and calling that a TV show now, but once upon a time we had things that were actually TV, made for TV, as its own separate medium. Calibrate your expectations accordingly. You're not going to get some big action movie climax every fucking episode. You're going to get smaller stories that establish characters, then eventually down the line, when the pieces are in place, you'll get some bigger moments, and these will be more meaningful because you've had a longer time with the characters involved, getting to know them.
Well the good thing about zoomers is they don't care about this dead franchise
Diversity is kind of redundant since Star Wars has always had different species.
Everything else is just dumb.
this. don't compare it to, i don't know, Lawrence of Arabia. compare it to Star Trek.
this is some fucking AMAZING television.
t. zoomer who hasn't known anything other than streaming era "TV" shows
They used to have a complete story from beginning to end and wrapped up with great satisfaction in under 45 minutes, no problem.
Just because you're a retard who didn't pay attention in history classes doesn't mean the rest of us are so clueless. Andor is heavily based on 19th and 20th century revolutions and the USSR. Obviously and deliberately, and it gets the details right on how such things are actually managed day-to-day.
relatively fresh memory of resisting Totalitarian regimes.
Boomers didn't fight anything.
Andor is the same Star Wars has always been, pew pew lasers for kids.
nah i'm and almost hedged my agreement with "i'm a millennial".
if anything it's zoomers who grew up with Netflix and shit, where the production values are higher, they're "like movies". i watched this "as a TV show" and it's great. Xena or Buffy weren't like this, were they?
I'm old enough to remember both serialized and episodic television. Andor is more serialized, clearly. But it's in a serialized TV format.
Star Wars without the force isn't Star Wars
The Force is in Andor.
There's so much more to Star Wars than the meme 'le force' which is just a backdrop.
It's a political thriller mostly - a fight between good and evil wtih a very big murky grey area.
All this show did for me is make me realize how goddamn lazy the aesthetics of Star Wars are, people wear normal clothes and all guns look like they took a prop of a real gun, paint it black and maybe shuffle some bit around
Nah it's about the mystical mythical aspects. That's the whole point of it. That's what transformed it from. Flash Gordon ripoff to what it eventually became It's the rebels vs empire tedium which is the backdrop
There's also way more to Star Wars than Empire vs Rebels.
This conflict is just so boring.
Star Wars isn't Anon Babble, it's /spaceopera/
Andor is literally the first time it has ever been interesting.
Should be noted that the writers strike fucked over Andor combined with production issues with budget forcing further delays between seasons and the main actor wanting to get the fuck out of dodge and not be tied to the show and why it was canceled prematurely
Season two is basically three seasons crammed into one season with the three three episode drops being Uber condensed versions of three seasons worth of plot so the show runner could finish the story he wanted to tell
It's relevant though. There's million of us right now who are trying to stage a silent revolution to overthrow emperor tr*mp.
I see lots of similarites in modern society in the new Star Wars franchise material. It makes for more powerful viewing than just abstract 'muh force' slop which has been done so many times before.
It isn't, "how the rebellion was born" has been done like 5 times in secondary media, and it's never been interesting because the war itself isn't interesting.
See? The only people who eat this up are dumbass Twitter millennials.
Does it eventually get interesting? Should I press on/ insist?
Everyting rebel/Blandor/Rogue One is SHIT.
Watch Andor for the Empire stuff, that's where the gold is
I hope the villain of the post-sequel trilogy is an old-school Sith who casts the ultimate magical spell: to FULLY diminish the use of the Force. No more magic powers in Star Wars.
We´ve been over this anon, Disney doesn´t make SW stuff. They never have or will. They do these cringe generic space dramas set in a universe that has more to do with our own than with the fantasy of escapism that Lucas created. Just because they slap some light sabers on it (sorry, they don´t do that on this one do they?) and call it Star Wars it doesn´t mean it´s actually Star Wars.
Suit yourself if that´s your thing but if you actually wanted to watch SW stuff this is not the show you are looking for.
And then Star Wars is just a lazy Flash Gordon ripoff with ugly aesthetics
Ah yes, because wanting to end to the practice of foreign slave labor, end pointless bloodshed in overseas wars, shut down human smuggling operations and the fentanyl trade, and raise wages to the point where people can live good lives and have families again because they have good jobs building things is just like the Empire. I can't wait for President Trump to finish his Death Star and silence you retards for good.
See? The only people who eat this up are dumbass Twitter millennials.
Ignore the commie retards. Everyone with any understanding of history at all knows that Andor is about the Soviet Union and the Hungarian Revolution.
Everyone with any understanding of history at all knows that Andor is about the Soviet Union and the Hungarian Revolution.
Then make it about that instead of this toddler pew pew shit.
They do these cringe generic space dramas
So Star Wars.
and call it Star Wars it doesn´t mean it´s actually Star Wars.
Yeah because it's better than TCW, ATOC and most of the ROS
I got Moebius vibes tbqh. If you've ever seen Time Masters, that's the look Old Republic Star Wars should go for.
>first episode
>boring,
fun is for faggot fucking kids. you gay faggot homosexual
Science fiction has always been used as a vehicle to tell real stories.
I'm sorry but Star Wars is too dumb to pull off the "gritty, realistic" shit, it's as silly as a grimdark Pokemon game
I just finished this thing and it's almost like they had a script for 3 episodes (set-up, heist, aftermath) but decided to stretch it out to 12 just to say they still do 'full' seasons instead of pathetic 6-EP ones.
Too many useless side stories and characters that go nowhere, and nothing really happens in the end. It would've been somewhat alright as a mini-series.
Sounds like sci fi is utterly pointless as a genre.
those pulp magazines were just about robots and shit.
en.wikipedia.org
this guy was just insane. he wasn't "really" writing about "da Jewz!!1" anon.
My dad watched a 400+ episode Turkish historical fiction series and it ruined all other TV for him. He thinks Andor was boring slop and rightfully so.
It got canned anyway for being too expensive
Is that shit from Star Wars show?
The money is very visible and audible on the screen and in the sound mix/score. Unlike all the other Star Wars shows where it's entirely a mystery where the money went, Andor has a higher production level than even most movies.
I don't think Andor feels all that different from New Hope and Empire Strikes Back when it really comes down to it.
Are you sure you're not atleast a little bias because you're a pedo?
yes
All the Star Wars Pedos care about are the Cartoon characters. I don't think the skeleton crew characters ever got on their radar
You know damn well the force is more than the abilities force users have
youtube.com
still moggs TCW, Rebels and Shit Batch
Both seasons have underwhelming first 3 episodes but get better after. The show partially goes back to ANH themes and aesthetics, so it's in a sense more faithful to Star Wars than any other Disney show. I say partially because a big theme in ANH is faith/humanity/nature vs technology and Andor plays up the inhumanity of the empire but sets aside the Force despite its apparent importance to the rebels in ANH.
