Indeed but that's more of a personal preference than anything bad in the show. But, yes. I've seen several, here and other forums, opinions that the pacing rubs wrong, and not enjoyable for them.
Which is fine by me. Diversity is my preference.
I don't think the story would be as satisfying if it weren't such a slow burn. The show spent time introducing us to the prison, the routine, and Kino in particular. Then it needed to have Andor talk Kino into escaping. It not only gets to spend a whole episode on the escape, the whole arc is what radicalizes Andor. You can't rush it just to get to an action scene.
Exactly, I've heard a few people say that they're not sure what the moment is that pushes Andor towards the Rebellion but there isn't one thing, it's an accumulation of events. Maybe seeing what they've done to Bix is what finally tips him over, but it could just as easily be seeing Luthen again. It's no coincidence that he's re-reading Karis' manifesto before he leaves his ship on Ferrix.
The way sculptors talk about statues, there was a big block of marble that was already Andor the rebel, we just needed the people he met and the empire to keep chipping away until he was revealed.
For me, a story doesn't have to be a slow burn for me to find it satisfying. I'm not an advocate of rushed storytelling. However, I also feel that a slow burn isn't always a good thing. I think it's about maintaining a balance with pacing - not too fast or too slow, whether we're talking about a movie or television show. Which is why I believe the pacing for the Season One narrative was too slow, especially in the season's first half.
So, if they skip a whole year between season season 1 and season 2 (as I believe I recall them saying they will), then that would technically be the beginning of year 3. All the events of Rebels season 2 would take place during that year.
Meh. Some people don't want the small details and tidbits. Which is why this show isn't for everyone, and shouldn't be forced to bow down to it's greatness.
I know the moment that at least had me more on Andor's side in the show but if people miss it...so what?
The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi are vastly better actually (but still have their issues like The Mandalorian and Andor), but I certainly think The Book Of Boba Fett is in the same ballpark as The Rise Of Skywalker (they'll be much more necessary than their bashers say they are, but the former suffers as set up and the latter suffers as a final conclusion to the OT era plus establishment of a true Sequel era).
TLJ had a good movie buried in a bloated, nonsensical film.
TFA was a lot of action and very thin on plot and character development. Haven't watched either in a couple of years but I remember being very unimpressed.
And both are vastly better than Episode IX.
I have to agree with you there. But I believe TROS was even worse.
I actually liked it. Not without its flaws, certainly. But it was a solid turn-off-your-brain popcorn flick.
TROS was fun. I guess I spent all those years being angry at the PT that I am more willing to accept the lesser parts for a story and characters I quite enjoy. But then, I also am the weird one who thinks that nothing was ruined by a particular film series either.
What can I say? I like the ST and still rewatch it from time to time. More than I can say for the PT or Mandalorian.
