Spoilers Andor season one
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
I'm sure it will. But my feelings about the last 7 out of 13 episodes haven't changed. Don't get me wrong. I have been enjoying "Andor". But I do have my issues.
Star Wars this week did more to make a fictional prison sterile and intimidating than most of the prison dramas set on Earth.
Did I miss something? Where did Snoke show up?What the hell is Snoke doing in this?
So this is the person Palpatine makes him from.
I’m six episodes in so far. I like it and it’s technically very well done. I just don’t find myself as emotionally invested in it.
Not sure what it is. I don’t think it’s boring. Just none of the characters made me care about them all that much. All the resistance members are fighting for the “Understandably but annoyingly hostile to the protagonist” niche. There’s no real comic relief. Lucas wasn’t wrong to think Star Wars benefits from silly characters to lighten the tone, he was just wrong what silly characters are funny.

No, he wasn't. Sometimes, silly characters can be funny. Look at Han Solo.
Snoke was played by Andy Serkis who also played Andor's inmate supervisor in this episode.
Ah. I didn’t make that connection.
Stormtroopers? Star Wars aliens? Droids? the ISB? Legacy Characters?
This is more Star Wars than what you described.
The fact that the prison system only shows human inmates is pretty disturbing. the humans are the lucky ones.
I saw someone on YouTube who said they were building probe droids.
No. Not the Empire‘s style.
They have a giant war machine to sustain.
The prison system and the arbitrary justice is obviously in place as a legalized slave system to keep it running.
the Empire has the technology to automate all that and it would be a lot more efficient.
Hm the joints seem too close together to me.
One of the prisoners is Melshi, who was part of the team in Rogue One

Disposable human laborers are cheaper than building machines.
I think it comes down maybe also that even though Andor is well written as a character and not badly performed either from the actor their is that kind of missing spark you get in your more compelling anti-hero types or series leads. Like Saul Goodman, Tony Soprano, Walter White, Dexter Morgan etc. I think it's because he is kind of quiet and unassuming and not really with lots of flair to him.
This is before Saw needed the oxygen mask he used to help him breathe. So I'm guessing this is before his encounter with the lethal gases the Empire used to exterminate the Geonosians on their homeworld.
