Spoilers Andor - Season 2

[B.J.]

Mrs. Ackbar.

.....nope, not gonna say it.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Also: not a lot of droids either! There's B2, of course, and the one Cassian shot in the beginning.

Not that this is a new thing. I don't think the Aldhani garrison had a single droid in it.

The Empire and the Republic before it are very stratified societies.

 

[Crewman6]

It wasn't great. But personally I think that The Acolyte is leaps and bounds more awful.

I'm afraid this opinion is wildly, staggeringly incorrect.

 

[Crewman6]

One could argue that all Star Wars is rehash of something else. And nothing is truly original.
The original movie has things lifted form Japanese cinema, Flash Gordon etc
The mandalorian lifts things from westerns.
The acolyte was said by the showrunner to be frozen meets kill bill.
The force awakens takes a lot from a new hope lol.
It's all in the execution ain't it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it fails.

Yes, but here's the flaw in this reasoning. In every instance, the creators were inspired by things that were not Star Wars.

Except in the case of "The Force Awakens." When the goal was just to rehash Star Wars in the safest way possible.

 

[Set Harth]

I think it more likely that nobody would really care, so long as they're vaguely discrete about it

Well they wouldn't want to be continuous about it.

That's not at all what was happening.

That's literally what happens at one point.

I nearly died when they started playing space rock paper scissors.

I wanted to.

 

[FredH]

In this contest whichever one wins, we all lose.

Nah. I defy the world: I liked both well enough, and of the two found The Acolyte stronger.

I'm afraid this opinion is wildly, staggeringly incorrect.

Just because you disagree doesn't mean I'm incorrect.
The show was poor and not enough people watched, so it got cancelled by Disney.

It was still better than The Rise of Skywalker.

 

[Set Harth]

not enough people watched

Who gives a shit?

 

[Newt]

Who gives a shit?

Obviously Disney.
Personally I don't give a shit the show got canceled as it was fucking terrible.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Obviously Disney.
Personally I don't give a shit the show got canceled as it was fucking terrible.

But it was still better than The Rise of Skywalker. There is nothing, repeat nothing, worse in the Star Wars franchise than The Rise of Skywalker.

The holiday special?
Unfortunately for me it's like comparing turds.

If only TROS had Bea Arthur and Art Carney.

 

[Set Harth]

 

[Nerys Myk]

I don't recall disliking TROS as much as the Acolyte. I've actually watched TROS again. The Acolyte was done in one.

 

[Turtletrekker]

If only TROS had Bea Arthur and Art Carney.

It could only been an improvement.

 

[TheFlutteringHorde]

The Acolyte was pretty good, a shame it got the axe, but that's more down to bad business practices on the part of Disney more than anything else. If you're spending so much on a show that not being in the top ten every week is a breaking point for it, you should rethink your spending habits and viewer expectations. Andor just being two and done regardless was the better move, at least for me the viewer, who doesn't want to care how well it does beyond my enjoyment.

If I were to rank the live action shows I'd probably go

1) Andor
2) Acolyte
3) Skeleton Crew
4) Mandalorian
5) Ahsoka
6) Obi-Wan Kenobi
7) Book of Boba Fett

And of those I only thought the Book of Boba Fett was actively bad, and Kenobi was pretty disappointing.

The axe forgets.

But the tree remembers.
