Andor

So "we know this character died, no reason to get invested" is developed into a series that will end in 2 seasons because "we know this series ends right before the movie where this character dies... no reason to get invested"

Going to be an agree to disagree point, because you have a point for sure, we know a lot of these people are dead within 5 years. But getting to see the rebellion being formed will be worth the watch for me. Rebels is a microcosm of this show and its some of the best SW there has been IMO. I fully expect Phoenix Squadron incorporated to some degree in season 2.

Rebels was written by people who actually like Star Wars.

Looking through the writing staff on IMDB, I don't see any KK blue hairs, but isn't this a KK crew show?

Also, it's Former Maester Qyburn:

I use the negrita scale, the more ugly black women in the show the lower the score. So far in the trailer I see zero so...

I know people love shitting on all thing star wars, but this is actually looking good. I like the tone. If the story and characters are good I think it could be the best SW show so far, just like RO was the best new SW movie. Plus i love all the world building + Politicking.

I don't think the story for mando is that great tbh. Rogue One took the chance and killed off everyone, if they take the same kinds of risks and writing and dark grittiness I think I'll like it more than Mando. Mando is cool but a lot of it is filler/spaghetti western/adventure of the week shit. I like the longer arcs.

So initial reactions are out. Most of the reviewers I follow who didn’t like the new shit and whose opinions I trust are saying it’s awesome and not at all like any of the current SW. a lot more like RO, very character and spy thriller heavy

The showrunner for this show said he doesn't give a fuck about Star Wars. Thank fucking God maybe we will get something new and it sounds like we are.

Please don't be another try-hard female lead. Jeeeesus christ Reeva, or whatever her name was, made Prequel acting look top notch compared to her shit. It's like they don't even try anymore.

The only woman to be in all episodes is Mon Mothma

dropping 3 episodes to start is a really smart move and i hope more shows start doing that. I'll rewatch Rogue One this weekend, I haven't watched it since theaters but I remember mostly liking it for the side characters and found the two mains (including Cassian Andor) super generic and boring.

Hopefully the show has a wide range of interesting characters, what I REALLY hope is not a single lightsaber shows up but it feels impossible for a Star Wars IP not to rely on three crutches: Skywalker name, lightsaber, and having to save some dumbass kid. If no lightsaber shows up in season 1 of Andor it will be a literal miracle.

I think critics got 4 episodes to watch, we'll get 3 on 9/21

I had no idea this existed till I saw an ad on twitch, and the first thing was big caps that basically said "made by rogue one people, not those other shitty new starwars people". So I am kind of interested.

I rewatched Rogue One recently and really enjoyed it. It's definitely a highlight amongst the jagged, uneven mess that is modern Star Wars. It's just a shame that the protagonist had all the charisma of a flea. Fix that (and the janky Tarkin deep fake) and it could easily rank favorably alongside the OT.

No, actually, we don't fucking like it at all.

Because they took an story idea that probably could have been done in an episode or two of a TV show, painfully padded the run time out well past two hours, and wedged it into a tiny time period where if any of the characters did survive it would immediately raise the question of why they weren't present in Episode 4.
