Even here, weren't there people expecting to see Bothans show up in Andor?
Spoilers Andor - Season 2
- Thread starter Fuddles
- Start date
Bothans: No, seriously they didn't change a thing!!!!
Rebels: But...
Bothans: Yeah, we were shocked too!
Nah, the Bothans were more heavily involved in the 3-4 ABY period. We're too early for them, unless one showed up as a random background Rebel and they had the classic EU alien design.
I think people just want to see a Bothan.
Random dialogue:
Driven: we need more spies.
Mon Mothma: Go I will. Good relations with the Bothans I have.
Just been having a google for the filming locations. Definitely a fan of the use of real life locations and how they integrate them with cgi. Gives it all a grounded look.
I dare say it's better than stagecraft tech, which is still very clever bit of filming.
But how they blended real place in Valencia, for Coruscant is fantastic.
Also I never knew in season one the planet Niamos is English seaside town of Cleveleys, only a few hours drive from where I live. Lol.

The mixture of locations, VFX-altered backgrounds, and sets was masterfully done.
I know that's something that should just be expected, but I really do think Andor pulled it off better than almost all.
Edit: I just realized that reads like I just mean the mixing of the three, but I also mean the execution of all of them. The locations were well chosen and well shot, the VFX backgrounds blended seamlessly and believably, and the sets were well made, looked great, and were often hard to distinguish from location work.

For sure. All very clever.
Also they had some great sets. Ghorman and Ferrix for example.
Hey, if you're going to be utterly, spectacularly, stunningly, and embarrassingly wrong, at least you made a good joke out of it.
Because a lot of people who are some combination of toxic, racist, sexist, or just plain not very bright, aren't capable of appreciating true quality, even when it's staring them in the face.
In each season, they clearly spent scads of money on gorgeous practical sets which they filmed the hell out of. God bless 'em.
Ferrix and Ghorman are the most detailed, immersive and fully "alive" locations in SW history.
Ah yes. If people don't like something they must be stupid.
This is why Andor keeps dropping down my list. In order to build it up people punch down.
