Andor 2

[STRIKEMEDOWN]

Finished the new three the other day and really enjoying it. Love Saw being so dramatic with the fuel that was hilarious. I'm really enjoying the story they're telling and how everything builds on itself. Like how the small character moments build the main plot, which builds the story they're telling. I am missing the kind of groundedness of season 1 with the garrison then the prison feeling like very clear plots like heist and prison break. At the moment, everything feels quite disconnected, but we're obviously only halfway through, so that might change. its good, best show I've sat down and watched in a while

 

[Cazza]

Wow! 7, 8 & 9 were fantastic TV. Left me feeling emotionally drained.

 

[Grant_C]

Masterpiece. Andor is every bit as good as the Original Trilogy.

Waited decades for this wish fulfilment and this exceeded wildest hopes.

Just finished episode 4 of season 2, it's unbelievable and something @weasel would struggle to find fault with.

The story is starting to make sense and really means more than anything I've seen post original trilogy. Breaking Bad of Star Wars.

 

[lejackal]

Superb, grown up, well written, beautifully delivered with passion, compassion and everything in between by top tier talent. It's fun, engaging, amazing all at once. I've geeked out a bit over the years to figure out props, but this is next level as it's shot in such high res. Bloody love this show.

Just caught up the last 3 and were amazing! Outstanding in all areas and riveting to watch so many scenes in the last 3 that I'm going to have to watch again for all the nods to the progression to R1 then ANH I got that ahead of myself after watching I watched R1 again last night.
Andor is a masterfully done and what we have waited for …amazing, outstanding, love it!!

 

[weasel]

I have heard it's good

 

[welshwookie]

Really enjoyed Andor, shame to see it end. Another series would have been good, but it ended right. Think Rouge 1 needs another viewing now.

 

[monkey_roo]

Amazing show. great story, great acting, directing - really emotional. As a back story to Rouge One it servers to make that film even more meaningful. I am not saying this is the blueprint from all SW films and shows, but in terms of Story, Character and staying within a well constructed universe (Not ******* with it) - It really, really is.

Andor should be the benchmark for all Live Action SW shows going forward......

 

[Twin30mm]

Absolutely stunning ending to an outstanding series.
Brilliant story telling with emotional stakes that really draw you in.
Andor has raised the bar so high, it'll be hard to go back to the usual DisneySW/Filoni slop.

Not going to lie, that ending brought a tear to my eye (especially when John Williams SW End Titles kicked in during the credits).

Disney need to pull out all the stops to retain Tony Gilroy in the SW universe.
For someone who allegedly is not a SW fan, he has created arguably the greatest SW content since the OT.

 

[Michael Sith]

Fantastic series and above and beyond all expectations shame this had to end, but the flow through to R1 is excellent.
Agree on Tony Gilroy scenario, given he is not supposed to be a SW fan.. he absolutely nailed it!

Outstanding!

 

[Cazza]

Agree with everything above. Stunning all round. The SW theme during the end titles was the icing on the cake!

 

[STRIKEMEDOWN]

I was absolutely blown away by this series. I think they did an incredible job of making the SW universe feel real and lived-in. Also I liked how fleshed out every character was, made me really feel for Dedra and Syril at the end. Started rewatching Rouge One too and good lord it has to have my favourite score in Star Wars, possibly of all time

 

[jayums]

It's a bit slow in places… But is excellent from the pov of an ageing OT fan…I liked rogue one and enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Mando for what it is ( good Saturday morning family tv ) , but Andor is the only show to give me a Star Wars show that I've been emotionally invested in… I can see why it's not for everyone, but it's definitely my kind of Star Wars .

I'm now on season 2 and really enjoying it to be fair, good storyline and great acting

Glad you're enjoying it! Really is an amazing show!

It's filmed perfectly in my opinion and the propwork is outstanding.

Oh definitely! Theres a blink and you'll miss it moment in season 2 where an artefact in Luthen's shop references the Mortis gods I'd look out for. Also all of the tech is very well done I thought

 

[supergoose]

Season 2.... what can I say - Epic !

I'd prepared myself by re-watching Season 1 before diving into Season 2 and when the last Episode of Season 2 ended I just had to put Rogue One on straight away and yes.... that lead to watching the OT again over the weekend

Great immersive story telling with total respect for the OT and Rogue One constantly being shown.

Birth of the Rebellion, the inner workings of the ISB, the merciless drive of the Empire - awesome.

Great characters old and new, well written, well cast, well directed.

The only negative........ it's all over now

Soooooo many cool items in Luthen's shop

 

[STRIKEMEDOWN]

Soooooo many cool items in Luthen's shop

loved it as a setting. Luthen definitely felt like a historian with the way he talked about the rebellion. I've just read the start of SW (2020) and seeing the imperial museum after watching Andor got me thinking about how Luthen's shop feels so carefully curated while the empire's just got stacks of stuff they don't even know about piled about. something something something, respecting history or being doomed to repeat it

 

[Ruby2511]

Just watched the last episode this evening and got to say Andor was one of the best series I've watched for a long time. So sad it's done to be fair.

 

[Gogsfett]

Just finished Andor season 2 and absolutely brilliant.
Acting, scenes, drama, and action leading on superbly to R1.
Simple story to follow, with both andor seasons and R1 some of the best star wars stuff out there.
Sad nothing else to follow it on for now, but need more content written and directed like this!
Superb!!
