Spoilers Andor season one

[fireproof78]

I feel as if I'm not watching a Star Wars production. I would have felt the same about "Rogue One", "Solo", and "The Book of Boba Fett" if those productions did not feature characters from Lucas' six films. I almost feel the same about "The Mandalorian", except one of its leading characters is Force sensitive and the second season featured characters like Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. With "Andor", I feel as if I'm simply watching a science-fiction production about some armed insurrection in a fictional world. Despite my low opinion of the Sequel Trilogy, at least it feels like a Star Wars production to me.

I'll assume Mon Mothma's family plays a big role in this story. Otherwise, I don't understand why they're playing a major role in a story that is supposed to be about Cassian Andor. Does Mon Mothma play a major role in Cassian's own emotional arc?

What "feels" like Star Wars then?

So Star Wars is only valid if it features pre-established characters from "the original six films?"

Congratulations on the worst take yet.

But it gets worse.

Do you get annoyed when other TV shows feature characters other than the titular lead? Why did we bother seeing so much of Kim Wexler when Better Call Saul should have been entirely about Saul?

Why did we need to meet Frasier's father and brother? Wouldn't the show have been better if he was all alone all the time with no one to talk to?

(p.s. - Mon Mothma is from the "original six films."

Ewok movies must be hell for some people then.

Does that mean the Holiday Special feels like Star Wars?

Been there, done that. I burned the T-shirt.

Why? Why do some people have to take what I say and misinterpret it? Or twist it into something ugly? Why? What is this need to punish people who disagree with someone else's or the majority opinion? It seems as if there is this unspoken rule that everyone is expected to agree with or follow one prevailing opinion. At times it feels as if the Borg could easily be based on Humanity itself. I'm not going to answer your questions, because I'm just too exhausted and too disgusted.

Mon Mothma is also Mum Mothma it seems

So, something is "true Star Wars" if it has characters from Lucas's six movies, and The Mandalorian fits that criteria by having Ahsoka in it? The same Ahsoka who wasn't introduced until Clone Wars, which premiered three years after Lucas's sixth and final movie was released?

And the character of Ahsoka was considered so annoying they had to retool her in Season 2 or 3 in order to make her work.

 

[The Wormhole]

Oh yeah, I forgot people once hated Ahsoka. That feels so weird these days where she's a beloved fan favorite.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Slight nitpick. No, they did not have to "retool the character". It was always the intent to make her an annoying kid who matures into her role as a Jedi. Much like Anakin's journey, I would have to imagine.

Ah, well, they got the annoying part down, much like Anakin.

 

[Tuskin38]

The show has stormtroopers, imperials, tie-fighters, the freaking ISB and Coruscant.

Also Mon Mothma.

 

[cooleddie74]

And mentions Sly Moore, a character from the Prequels.

From the office of the Grand Vizier, who would be Mas Amedda, another character from the Prequels.

Ars Dangor was also mentioned, who is one of Palpatine attendants.

 

[TheForge]

I'm liking it. No alien main characters so far.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

There's more journeying here than in Rings of Power!

I liked that axe proverb, I hadn't heard that before.

The TIE fighters reminded me of seeing the Empire SE in Florida where the theater had the sound so loud that the roar would actually hurt.

I distinctly noticed the Britishness of the show during today’s episode.

There were no fewer than three shed-you-uls. Not to mention the lef - tenants.

I like Rings of Power better. I at least care about Elrond and Durin.

Technically, the ISB wasn't "in" the original SW movies. Yes, Col. Yularen is in the Death Star conference room, but at that time, he was just an extra in a white uniform, nothing about the ISB had yet been established. For all we knew at the time, he could have just been really bad at laundry.

Also, Andor hasn't had any stormtroopers. (Yet.)

(just nitpicking for fun, I strongly agree with your greater point.)
