Andor

[Riva]

Watched it and loved every minute of it. By far the most realistic Star Wars series and the best on currently on air.

Mandalorian is Fun. You want to be in it, be him. But Andor, you feel it. It gets under your skin. You are dragged into the story, the characters and the emotions and you want the characters to survive because you feel like you are a part of them. You feel them.

Out of all the recent Shitty Star Wars movies the only exception was rogue one. This being its predecessor is doing a fantastic job.

When you move the Jedis out of SW you realize how cruel and suffocating the universe is.

The amazing writing of this show made me question what the hell went wrong in the recent shit show movies.

If you are going to spend 100 million dollars on a movie please spend some money writing, rewriting and getting feedback from controlled audiences/readers before making the movie.

Fuck the recent movies were terrible. Can't believe they brought back Palpatine because they ran out of ideas. Pathetic

But Disney I forgive you after watching the recent shows.

Supernatural is on in the waiting room. I think the idea is that he's reaping with a female Death. It's more philosophical than I thought.

Welp, the gauntlet has been thrown. I hope she's right!

And now we play the waiting game.

Good news? The critics were given the full season for review. It's apparently stellar.

Uggh, I'm gonna have to watch Andor Season 1 in the next week so I can catch up with Season 2 before it finishes. But damn. Also, I'm glad we are getting more of characters (like Saw Gerrera and Mon Mothma) we didn't get enough time with in Rogue One or S1.

I just finished my Rogue One and Andor Season 1 rewatch last night with my two oldest. We watched Rogue One first and noticed references in Andor to the movie throughout, adding depth. I can't wait for Andor season 2 to complete so I can rewatch Rogue One again.

Andor season 1 was incredible in how even the most minor characters felt like they had depth.

Gilroy is leaving Star Wars and TV and going back to movies. I can't wait to see what he does next.

Finished S1E3 again last night. I really like the montage cuts at the end with young Cassian (Kasso) and adult Cassian leaving their respective planets. It was kind of moving, with the music, and just how Maarva pulled him out from his own planet (when she caught up smashing the Empire ship controls -- he had been emotionally hurt by them even at that age), albeit somewhat against his will, and then Luthen taking him away as an adult, although here he gets to make more of a choice as much as flight from (again) being killed by the Empire being any kind of real choice.

And that was cut with Maarva's tears at losing him the second time.

it's almost like Cassian was driven into the arms of the Empire's enemies multiple times through his life, despite his initial reluctances. It was almost fated to happen. And seeing it reflected in the eyes of the boy and then the eyes of the man... Just imagine, Maarva's act of compassion (which seemed cruel at the time, but she was probably right about the Empire just slaughtering Kasso's people... I don't remember if we find out more) at adopting Cassian ended up enabling the Rebellion to win eventually, although a lot of shit goes down before then. (Cassian IS finally killed by the Empire, ironically, but he's at peace with it and it drives a fatal blow into the Empire's heart.)

I again really like the look and feel of the town there, and the metal striking to mark end and beginning of day, and also all the small alerts done by the makeshift network to warn of trouble.

It's kind of hilarious to look at the emerging joy in Syril Karn's face when he thinks that (despite going against his superior) he's managed to bring down a terrorist on his own.... and then the despondency as he realizes he's been totally outplayed as a child would be.
