Spoilers Andor season one

[1987SpaceGuy]

This show is so good, sometimes I forget it's Star Wars.

No force wielding + Jedi thing + focus on a good story and a bunch of characters = good Star Wars.

Also I need more info on Luthen's ship, aside from the probably obviously aftermarket upgrades (lasers, guns and such)
what type is it?
any technical manual?
can I please have a LEGO version of it (that doesn't cost $ 500+)

 

[cooleddie74]

I like that he has a three-lensed droid eye hooked up to the ship as sort of a security system/co-pilot.

Just watched the episode and, Holy shit, an actual action scene with a space ship? I'm imagining the people producing/writing Andor crying and stamping their feet as Disney/Lucasfilm executives make them put some actual space action in their shitty "prestige" drama. Also, it looks like Cassian Andor might be done with his stupid, pointless prison plot, so I can stop skimming through his scenes and begging for the prison plot to end. We got some more Saw Guerrera, which was nice.

I am really fucking hating all of the "Grey Morality" bullshit, in Andor and in TV nowadays. This show literally only exists to "both sides" the Rebels vs Empire conflict, and its infuriating. I fucking loathe Skarsgard's character and the evil blonde Rebel woman, I hope both characters die painfully before the season is out. Rogue One managed to have shitty Rebels in a much better way, and even showed that the evil Rebels were wrong.

The Imperial woman and the little dipshit bureaucrat are still pointless and wastes of space, but still less annoying then the evil Rebels subplot. I still don't really know what Mon Mothma's subplot is about, except that it reminds me of the endless political shit in the Prequels but it makes much less sense, is a lot less relevant and somehow much more boring. Only one more episode, then I'll never have to watch this crap again (I will definitely not be watching season 2).

Speaking of evil Rebels...Saw sucks.

That's you're still watching is hilarious.

Sunk cost fallacy?

 

[cooleddie74]

I don't know, I bail on shows that profoundly bore and disappoint me even if I invested a lot of time in them at the beginning. That's why I've missed most of the past few years of The Walking Dead. It just wasn't delivering most of the time anymore and I lost interest.

If Andor sucked like claimed I'd sure not stick around week after week.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I bailed of Walking Dead, too! Damn, that became a real slog.

Same. Shows have two, maybe three episodes, then I will bail. Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, no matter. I bounce if it doesn't hook me.

Better than being angry or bored.

 

[Imaus]

At this point it has to be reaction-farming. Like...come on. "Only one more episode and I don't have to watch this crap again"? Sounds like a them problem. That guy needs to learn some self discipline to walk away from things you don't like/not need hate validation on a forum.

 

[fireproof78]

I think there is a part of fandom that just needs to be angry. I see it in many fandoms, but even when I was in a Star Wars fan club there was a lot of anger. Ewoks, Jar Jar, Vader's "no", Special Editions, etc. No one seemed able to let shit go. Even had Ewok killing parties on Battlefront.

Seriously.

Well they're not, they skimmed through it.

Same. I will hold out for a few episodes, and if it don't enjoy it, I move on. There are lots of shows out there, and something is bound to be more to my liking. Surely others can do the same.

 

[Crewman6]

Ignore him. It's a deeply pathetic bid for attention.

 

[Sci]

I'm really enjoying Andor in spite of my reservations about how appropriate it is for the Star Wars universe, this tweet is pretty good:

 

[Kor]

I finished it.

We know there's going to be a riot due to the trailer. We saw the arrestor, ah neat.

Damnit, he still has the manifesto, pfft. Ah well. But yea, now the wonder is, everyone knows about the funeral, and Andor will probably arrive soon after it. Maybe enough that the ISB calls it a dud and is more focused on Kreegyr?

That scene with Saw was great. That, that was Saw. So quick to be paranoid. But Luthen snapped him back to grounded reality. Though it seems Saw still demanded a high price for compliance...for the gun to his head, the paranoia, and giving up 30+Kreegyr.

I loved seeing that design for the Imperial patrol ship. Clearly from the early Imperial Cruiser concept by Colin Cantwell, who passed away in May of this year, and a nice tribute. There are a couple of his illustrations of that ship in this interview article: https://kitbashed.com/blog/colin-cantwells-concept-art

The design was built for Solo but the scenes with it was cut. It can still barely be seen on the Imperial recruitment advert in the Corellian space port at the start of the movie.

If something makes you upset, then maybe you should stop. I bailed on Picard and never looked back.

It’s their thing. I wouldn’t bother

All in all, Maarva's just another brick in the wall.
