Just Go Watch Andor

Andor has raised the bar. Not going to be easy to go back to the "Filoni playing with action figures" style of show after this.

I hope that instead of learning the wrong lesson ("people like Andor, let's copy it") they learn the right lesson ("let's hire great writers and put resources into their work").

After the disastrous sequels, couldn't be bothered anymore. Couldn't help seeing the good headlines Andor was generating, so one day I started watching it. It's not just a good Star Wars TV show, it's a very good TV Show as it is. Watched the wholes thing 3 x times, so much of storyline to it.

The world feels so lived in Andor, all small details that you never will find on a green screen

It’s incredible how a show about that guy who died in Rogue One (no, the other guy) (no, the other OTHER guy) ended up being one of the best shows out there.

I'm seeing reports that the final episode had a significant spike in viewership, and I'm also seeing videos about Andor like this one pop up all over Youtube. I think word is getting out about this amazing show, despite Disney's dismal marketing efforts.

Andor is, imo, the best Star Wars series Disney has created. It's great Star Wars. It's great television. The writing, the acting, the directing, the production value...everything about this is quality!

andor is so amazing, I love how the scenery is all physically built.

"I felt feelings" Exactly! I remember the end of Luthen's epic speech at the end of episode 10. It ends on Andor and his fellow prisoner running to freedom on an alien beach at night while the music swells. I felt ...chills. I felt inspired, I felt MOVED. And all of a sudden, "Oh, wow, THIS is what good Star Wars is like." Hopefully Disney will see how much praise this is getting through word of mouth and finally stop treating the fandom as the enemy.

I’ve waited so long for a Star Wars show to finally leave me satisfied again. But, at long last, here we are.

It’s twice as good the second time you watch it

Totally agree. Andor is great. Just a straight up amazing show. It's more akin to the early seasons of Game of Thrones than to any of the other Disney+ shows. The acting, the story, and the visual (the cinematography) are all amazing. Also, Andor feels like it's crafted with a very particular creative viewpoint. It feels like the opposite of a corporate show. Watch Andor and then watch Michael Clayton and you can see the through line. Just an amazing show.

Andor is such a great show. Thank you for talking about it

Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace; I've made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote fifteen years ago for which there's only one conclusion: I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight. They've set me on a path from which there's no escape. I yearned to be a saviour against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything! You'll stay with me, Lonni. I need all the heroes I can get.

You forgot to mention how great the music is.

You definitely did a great job articulating how exhausting the popcorn thoughtless media of Disney as worn down excitement for their properties. Andor was like a breath of fresh air after so much banality. Loved seen Star wars get political, the prequels and the world left such fertile ground even if they didn't do a great job exploring it themselves.

Andor ROCKS! Best Star Wars content since 1980!

The only problem I have with Andor is that it’s set my standards too high. I just can’t watch the Mandalorian anymore because I now know what Disney can and doesn’t do.

I’m literally on my 3rd watch of Andor now, and not only is it amazing the first and second times, it is still holding up in rewatchability for this 3rd viewing. Can’t say enough good things about it, and I can’t wait for season 2, and I also really hope Disney can make more shows and/ or movies like Andor!!!!

I think Andor is the best Star Wars ever. Better than the original trilogy, if maybe not iconic enough to launch a massive franchise like the originals did. But it's absolutely what Star Wars should always have been since the end of the original trilogy, and I'm glad they finally made it. And I really hope they're going to make a lot more like this. Well, not exactly like this, but new and fresh and different every time.
