This series is a backstory to an interesting detail that was in a movie that was a backstory to an interesting detail.

Oh, so this is how they will introduce the multiverse where Star Trek's Enterprise gets thrown into this universe by Q. Jyn and Cassian were just beamed aboard right before the blast wave hit them.

doesn't really matter since i don't think we'll ever get anything like andor again but ratings seem to be pretty good
www.hollywoodreporter.com
Netflix has an insanely larger reach than Disney+, like at least 4x as many subs, so getting at least one show in the top 10 week to week seems good.
its tempting to start a third rewatch of Andor but I think i'll move on to other shows, time to check out MobLand or maybe Murder bot
I could definitely see myself doing a rewatch of Andor + Rogue One + ANH/ESB/ROTJ every 4-6 years though.

So i didnt have an aswer and looked to see if there was a lore answer.
So in Clone Wars since they were fighting, you know, an actual war...the armor was quite good and would disperse the blaster shot and it may render the trooper unconscious or rarely killed if it was a good shot. By the time the OT rolled around it had become cheaper and less effective since there wasn't a pressing need to make it awesome other then intimidation.
The Death Trooper armor (the black armored dudes), is apparently quite good and why you see them following around VIP's.
IDK I mean half this shit is from books that are no longer cannon or some cartoon I have never watched.

So I just finished season 1 of this. I had completely sworn off all Star Wars shit, to be honest. Just so much badly written slop in the last 15 years. But I was home sick and this has been sitting on my Plex server since it came out. I'm blown away at a Star Wars show actually being good. The dialogue is well written . The effects are movie quality. Just a really good series. Does season 2 keep this up?

Yes. First few episodes are weak, but after that its probably even better than s1.

Same reason why full plate and mail fails to stop any sword or arrow in fantasy shows, show runners think armor looks cool but combat would be boring if armor actually did it's job.
Season 2 is the background leading up to the rebellion itself and leads directly into rogue one/new hope, it's probably better than season 1 (more just background on cassian andor), but skip the first 3 episodes of season 2 they serve no purpose

Yea some retard will tell you to skip the first three, but he is media illiterate. They are not the strongest but they play a role later, and frankly Andor not at its best is still better then 99.5% of shit on TV.

Arm shots would still stop their hearts, thats why they all go down when shot. If not dead, unconscious at best. Better than a hole blasted through.

Screamfeeder is mad the the entire fucking internet hates his shitty writing, the first arc (first 3 episodes) are directionless and serve no purpose, they are so bad that half of the viewers wrote off the entire season because of them and had to be assured that it got better before they continued watching.
The first Arc is obviously a hold over from when this was going to be 5 seasons long. They knew how it was going to end (leads directly into Rogue One) so the final few arcs were pretty tight, they knew where they were going, and for season one, it wasn't even really about the rebellion it was background on Cassian Andor, so they knew what they were doing for that. But the 2nd season? they had no idea they were just going to do dumb background shit, until Disney told them to fuck off and cut it down from 5 seasons to 2.
The sad thing is it really would not have taken that much to connect that first arc to the actual story and make it important. It still would have been really bad story arc, but at least it would have fit with the rest of the season.
1. A few throw away lines of dialogue explaining that the rebellion gained access to a bunch of salvaged/decommissioned X-wings, older tech, and they cost, but they now have fighter aircraft. Don't even have to shoot any scenes for this, just mentioning it in conversation between Luthen and Mon Motha, use this as a setup to explain why Motha has to basically sell her daughter in an arranged marriage, to get funding for the rebellion to buy these X-wings. Mention how the first skirmish went really poorly, the X-wings are no match for Tie Fighters.
2. Now Andor stealing the prototype tie-fighter has a purpose, and there are stakes involved, he needs to get the fighter back to the rebellion so they can reverse engineer its targetting computer, nav, etc, so they can retrofit the X-wings to stand a chance against them. now getting marooned on Yavin with the retard gang of power rangers from the Boba fett show is actually an impedance to something.
3. Have Andor explain to the retards holding him on Yavin why they are going to starve to death, that the rebellion chose this planet specifically because nobody can live here, no one would ever expect a base to be here.
4. That's why Bix and company are on the farm/garden world, trying to establish trade arrangements to import food to yavin, so they can establish a base. now the imperials doing the surprise inspection adds tension and stakes. Maybe the governor was resisting going along with feeding the rebellion but the imps end up killing or raping his daughter or something and that's what convinces him to help. Now Bix's story line has a purpose, and it's all tied together.
5. So now the arc actually goes somewhere. Stealing the Tie fighter allows them to retrofit the X-wing so they are like 40, 45% survival rate vs Tie fighters, still an underdog but have a fighting chance (match it to Original trilogy). spending time learning about Mon Mothra's ancient wedding customs of her homeworld makes sense, you understand what she is actually sacrificing, what she's making her daughter do, in order to fund the rebellion. Bix being on that planet makes sense and there are actual stakes and a goal to achieve.
literally, adding like 10 lines of dialogue across 3 episodes and shooting maybe 1-2 exposition scenes would of made the first 3 episodes an actual story arc and tied it in to the rest of the season. it still would of been the weakest arc, but it would have served an actual purpose.
