Spoilers Andor season one

[Set Harth]

He looks different.

 

[StarMan]

Finally caught up.

This is the world building and type of story I never would've expected from Disney's Star Wars, but now having got a taste for it - bugger the laser sword stuff and more of this, please. A mature sensibility, intelligent writing, characters with depth, interesting relationships and dynamics - great stuff.

 

[Set Harth]

The production values and cast are good - BUT - the script, and glacial pace of the story they're telling honestly sucks.

If you look closely in certain scenes you can actually see a glacier creeping past in the background.

 

[Tuskin38]

I'm still saying the series will be better binged in sets of episodes than watched weekly.

Because it's written in 3 piece arcs.

 

[Set Harth]

It's really been an embarrassment of riches in terms of new SW content this week, with both the new Andor episode and TOTJ. And I had a technical glitch that prevented me from seeing last week's Andor episode until last Sunday, so I got two Andor episodes this week.

 

[fireproof78]

In a series titled "Andor"? Why not just call the series "Rebels: The Beginning"? Or any title to hint that this series is about the Rebel Alliance and not just Cassian Andor?

Because Andor offers the primary perspective. He is the primary protagonist, though, in typical Star Wars fashion, not the only protagonist.

 

[Ethros]

However, Mothma is not actively the head of the Rebellion at this point in the saga. The series is titled "Andor", but half of it seemed to be about her.

“Whenever Poochie’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, “Where’s Poochie?””

 

[Turtletrekker]

Why was Chewbacca in a movie entitled "Solo"? Because he was relevant to the story being told.

 

[cooleddie74]

Same with Lando.

Because important backstory for Han. That's all the reason the writers needed.

 

[Jedi Marso]

I have to admit, at first I was wondering if they were building parts of the Death Star, but after reading some of the other posts here, I think it would actually be better if they were just mundane parts of some everyday piece of machinery that nobody really gives a second thought.

My assumption is that these are standard widgets for star destroyers or some other portion of the Imperial machine, and that a galaxy-spanning empire will never really have enough of them.

 

[JD]

Yeah, something like that would make sense.

 

[Crewman6]

They quoted your entire post.

I'm honestly curious why it's a different character if the name is the same and it's played by the same actor.

Quoting is not understanding.

 

[Tosk]

Quoting is not understanding.

I'm guilty of it too then, I have no idea what detailed information I'm missing.

You said:

It's a different Melshi. It's just a common name in the SW universe (and a common face.)

And the question is still, how do you know that? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just trying to glean some actual info from this.

 

[Saul]

The most recent episode was great. Still get Blade Runner type vibes. I know it's set in the Star Wars Universe but it feels like a very fresh Sci-fi show under the disguise of Star Wars.

 

[cooleddie74]

It's been confirmed it's the same Melshi. It's the same guy who joins the Rebel Alliance and fights on Scarif.

 

[fireproof78]

Who?

 

[cooleddie74]

Yep, it's him!

 

[Tuskin38]

Pretty sure they were making a joke.

 

[Tosk]

Oh. Heh.

 

[Ethros]

I've seen Rogue One maybe 2-3 times. Do you all remember "Melshi"? Because I sure as hell don't

Next time I watch it I'll have to keep an eye out
