Andor | The Best of Disney Star Wars!

So I finally got around to finishing this show, and I can not for the life of me understand why this isn't the sort of thing Disney is pushing. The writing was top notch and visually it looked amazing! Is it too much to ask for all of our Star Wars projects to have the love and respect of this series?

I couldn’t agree with you more. This is the Star Wars I’ve been waiting 40 years for.

I love the "I can't swim" Scene because Kino Loy knew damn well the prison was surrounded by water and he still helped them escape! 😢

Andor love never gets old. Such a good show

I'm so glad word of mouth was able to spread with this show. I also only got through the first two episodes. It was over a year before I watched the whole thing, and I was blown away. And looking back, I wouldn't make any changes together first 2 episodes because so much of the foundation of the story is laid there

[SabrinaBelgrave]

Really great analysis and reaction. I'm rewatching now and it's so rewarding. You start to pick up the dialogue more, how what characters say echo each other, or even foreshadow what's to come. Like the imperial corpos at the beginning taunt Cassian by saying "Did he swim over?" and then I realized well, to escape from the prison he...swims. And from Rogue One you will remember when K2SO says "Climb." In Andor, Nemik says it, Kino says it. This show is so deep, I love it so much.

I hope you will go back and watch those first two episodes again. They might seem slow compared with other Star Wars series, feeling obliged to shoehorn in action, sequences or big stakes. What episodes one and two do incredibly well is build characters. And one of the main characters is Ferrix itself. It’s all there in the detail – but you do have to pay attention, and that’s another big difference with this series. If you don’t give it your full attention, the slower paced passages can become boring. It’s not a show that you can eat to, or play on a phone to. I have watched it over five times now, and every rewatch reveals some incredible new detail about character or plotting. The amount of thought that has gone into the writing of it is absolutely extraordinary.

And straight up murders, the second guard, but the first killing was accidental. He feels he has no choice but to shoot the second man. Anyway, I love the way how these killings are taken seriously. Minor characters die in Star Wars all the time, but deaths in this show – even the deaths of bad people – have weight.

Anyway, glad you have joined the ranks of the Andor fans ! Nice video. I love watching these while we wait for season 2.

The amount of detail in the conversations. The show is full of conversations that seem just so casual at first hearing that you forget. And yet, they all are important.

Two example
At episode 4, the ISB chief casually prays Dedra for numbers in her sector FAR SURPASSING THE DETENTION QUOTA.

detention quota! The ISB sets detention quotas to get slaves to build the death star. At episode 4 you get explained Cassian arrest at episode 6. The ISN officers have quotas to fill and are probably pressuring down all the way to judges and troops to get prisoners!


Or when the other heist member tells Cassian his story, and includes the death of a sibling as a reason to join the empire. Which resonates with Cassian.

Later Cassian discovered he is a list and wants to get all the money to themselves.

But before doing anything, Cassian asks about his sibling... Which he answers was an invention. There was no sibling. To Cassian, forever looking his list sister, inventing the story of a dead sibling was the thing that meant he absolutely was worth nothing, this Cassian kills him.


Or Saw Guerrera disgusted by Luthen suggestion of joining forces with Krieger, a separatist. Guerrera sister was killed by separatists at the animated series.

I cant take someone too seriously when they say the first two episodes "weren't the best"

The first three episodes came out together and that's the most honest way to view and critique them. Three episodes making up a TV film length.

That being said people who watch the show now probably won't know that. But it also doesn't change almost everything in episode 1 and 2 help the rest of the season BE AS GOOD AS IT IS!

As someone who played in the 90s lots of Star Wars games without jedis, like Dark Forces, XWing, Tie Fighter, Rebel Assault 1 and 2, Rogue Squadron, etc, i never felt Star Wars needed jedis to feel Star Wars

"Why is it so much better than these other Star Wars shows?"

I think the reason is the same one as why Star Wars (1977) succeeded ... it's a fantasy scenerio treated seriously, with brilliant characters

The suspension of disbelief comes from multiple elite actors convincing you that this is for real ... further enhanced by the superb practical sets, VFX, and locations

"It shouldn't be as interesting." Bruh. Star Wars shines when it's following some nobody from a backwater planet and watching them change and build community. That is the fundamentals of Star Wars.

You keep saying "it doesn't it doesn't feel like Star Wars." And I couldn't disagree more. This feels exactly like Star Wars. You watch the original trilogy and it feels very very similar.

Good discussion! I like seeing people come around on things. It's fun to have your perspective shift.
