Andor is an incredible series that is only incidentally connected to star wars. In particular, the ability to slowly and organically ramp up tension in each of the major arcs is truly special.

I like the Andor writing and acting, but the directing has been more hit and miss. Some episodes feel more like reading a chapter from a book than watching a TV show. I wish they grabbed Alex Garcia Lopez, whose two Acolyte episodes are waaay above the rest.

It's so sad that Disney burned some Star Wars fans so much that they will never give Andor a chance. It is such a work of art.

Indeed. There's a Star Wars movie out right now - the first for seven years - and quite rightly, no one cares. Only Andor and Rogue one were good since the Disney purchase and the reign of Katherine Kennedy, which is a below-random success rate.

That's exactly me. I mean, people told me the exact same things when TROS came out. It was horrible.

Really annoying but somebody used AI to transcribe whatever Tony said in his speech and interview, And it's really obvious because it's full of small mistakes

Is this the Star Wars equivalent of dressing up as characters from The Handmaidens Tale and being overly dramatic?

I'm not a huge fan of Star Wars, but I'm so happy to hear Tony Gilroy drawing direct parallels to the Empire and the current US administration.
Andor is honestly a lot better than most of Star Wars. Heroes who are flawed and morally complicated; imperials who seem more like real human beings than cartoon villains.

I watch it and think of the “Are we the bad guys?” meme: lots of people advancing their careers in the Empire & shrugging at their own evil deeds mentally saying “ ok, but what can I do?”
