Question

Can we finally admit the Death Star ruined Andor?

Think about it logically, if it wasn't already an icon of established canon, people would say this was where the show jumped the shark. Everything up until this point had been about cold Imperial calculation and the erosion of legacy Republic institutions, and out of nowhere you suddenly have the Emperor building a secret death ray that can pop whole planets like birthday balloons.

In the serious setting Andor establishes, the Death Star is now retarded since it basically renders all other plot lines moot because there is now a GIANT METAL BALL FIRING DEATH RAYS IN OUTER SPACE.

Stop being a pretentious faggot and enjoy your space wizard slop.

Shut the fuck up retard

Andor is the best installment in the franchise since Empire and that's all that matters

go to prequelmemes

it's just complaints that star wars isn't as "adult" or political as andor

dissenters get torched at the stake

Did Disney destroy Star Wars or did 2016 mindbreak America?

They nearly did and yes.

Andor is the best installment in the Disney franchise and that's all that doesn't matter.

Ftfy tourist.

I don't know I didn't watch it, sorry

for the a new hope, not really. think of it like an atom bomb weapon.
but andor made return of the jedi's death star more retarded.
andor showed the complexity of building a death star, and in rotj, the empire magically shat out a near-complete second death star in a span of four years that's more powerful than the first.
by extension, andor also made the starkiller base stupider than it is.

What do you mean? Andor is a stupid show that doesn't fit its franchise and basically feels like a rejected script for a completely different show?
Can't be.

Think about it logically, if it wasn't already an icon of established canon, people would say this was where the show jumped the shark

Disagree. Main focus of Andor is how invasive Empire. Building planet killer weapon fits as Empire Magnum Opus.

Reminder all nu wars is faggot shit

doesn't fit its franchise

Lol
Lmao

not showing that its been around for years is stupid. like RO everything happens in minutes before ANH

Would be funny if the 2nd death star is revealed to never actually work, and the 1st one was simply a one-off (kinda how like nukes were never real)
fuck the disney movies

The death star was shown in S1 finale final scene, Andor Cassian built the thing LOL

The whole point of PORD was to get cheap labour for project StarDust. The empire taking over the moranian corp sector, S1 Episodes 6-9 are about death star construction camps , Entire Ghorman plot from S2. the reason they needed the wheat planet output.

Both shows everything the empire does is about consolidating and gaining resources for "Project stardust".

The rebels are just annoying background fluff.

People dont seem to understand this.
The only thing that differentiates Star Wars from 99.5% of other sci fi are the telepathic samurai with glowsticks.
And then people ask for Star Wars without that stuff...
This shit could ltrl be in early Mass Effect or probably even Star Trek, duno never watched that show.
Take away the Star Wars skin and you could ltrl put it into an IRL setting.

But muh books

Most of the books are about said samurai and the few that arent, could be set in any other world/genre.

There is no unique technology or anything in Star Wars beyond that.
Weird, sexy haircut aliens included.

Just reminds me of those magical creatures movies being in the Harry Potter universe for no reason.

I think we can agree that the death star ruined Alderaan lol

Star Wars has two other things going for it:
John William's score
Being of the the first scifi's to depict "lived in" tech instead of making it overly shiny/sterile

Andorfags are insufferable. I'd rather hear about glup shitto.

Imagine Luke, Leia and Han in this show.
You can't.

Eh, I thought they worked the deathstar into the story in a very tasteful way.
The way they recontextualize the Narkina 5 work camps with the post credit scene was great.
And the second season goes hard into the effort the empire is putting into keeping an untertaking of that scale secret, by compartmentalizing the knowledge.
It reminded me of a docummentary of the Yamato, how groups of engineers worked on different parts of the ship without ever knowing what they were actually building.

This shit could ltrl be in early Mass Effect or probably even Star Trek, duno never watched that show

And..?

make star wars show

no one watching it could even tell it's supposed to be set in the same universe

You think there's nothing wrong with this.

Imagine Luke, Leia and Han in this show.

Can easily imagine Han since he and Cassian served in the same time on the same planet..

Yeah, shame his personality is diametrically different to anything else in this show.
Fits perfectly fine in anything else star wars, however, unlike Andor.

You think there's nothing wrong with this

Actually yeah. Because show is not about Skywalkers, ergo it doesn't need to copy story of the Skywalkers.

Yeah, shame his personality is diametrically different to anything else in this show.

Explains why his movie flopped, unlike Rogue One.

Star Wars is a Soap Opera about Skywalkers

It doesnt need Skywalkers to be Star Wars

yeah andor is good but Disney is so fucking trash they cant stop milking the original trilogy and nostalgiabaiting with prequel actors so we will never get anything like it again

and NO those soulslike slop games from EA are trash too, KOTOR and the jedi knight games clear those easily

Star Wars is a Soap Opera about Skywalkers

Then I have a bridge to sell you.

And I, an interview to educate you.

youtube.com/watch?v=Q05nglHCp7U

Unless we are talking death of the author in which case, idc anymore and Disney can do what they want.
All their shows are equally shit anyway.

And I, an interview to educate you.

Which is invalid.
1) Lucas not an artist, he is businessman who had zero problems with allowing licensed products to be made under Star Wars brand.
2) Lucas doesn't own Star Wars.

not an artist

So you want to get hung up on that opinion of yours

doesnt own Star Wars

See >idc anymore

But you care enough to talk about it.

I care enough to talk about it, just not with people who have arbitrary shit takes.

The running theme is the Empire overreaching and sowing the seeds of its own destruction.

We know from ANH that the Death Star is a capstone to that, they dissolve the senate and announce they no longer have to care about local resistance because of their unbeatable superweapon and then it eats shit on it's second ever attempted use, taking large portions of imperial high command with it.

politics

sir this is a chidren's movie about space wizards

Can we finally admit the Nuke ruined WW2?
Think about it logically, if it wasn't already an icon of established history, people would say this was where the war jumped the shark. Everything up until this point had been about cold military calculation and moral drama, and out of nowhere you suddenly have Truman building a secret death bomb that can pop whole cities like birthday balloons.

Lucas not an artist, he is businessman who had zero problems with allowing licensed products to be made under Star Wars brand.

But that is Star Wars? Always has been, right from the start

Everything up until this point had been about cold Imperial calculation and the erosion of legacy Republic institutions, and out of nowhere you suddenly have the Emperor building a secret death ray that can pop whole planets like birthday balloons.

Everything up to this point showed that the Empire is completely understaffed to keep constant control in the Galaxy, so it established the reason why Pelp needs a sign of Power, that puts everyone who thinks about rebellion in his place.

Stop being a pretentious faggot and enjoy your space wizard slop.

But anon, Andor is supposed to be a super mature serious show for serious adults! Characters almost get rap*d and almost say the f*ck word! People die and characters feel bad about it, and we know they feel bad because they sit there staring into the middle distance while the music drowns out all the other sound in a scene! Isn't it awesome? People can finally take Star Wars seriously now!
