It dares to be a little darker, some of the dialogue and acting is genuinely clever, and there appears to be an actual plot. Will crack on with it tomorrow, and looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 The actual quality of it, the look and feel, set design costumes etc is maybe the best thing Disney have put out, it's cinema quality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Finished the 3 episodes Its good, glad they did the 3 episodes in one hit, it felt like they've taken their time and told that chapter of the story properly, would say the 2nd episode dipped a little with not a lot happening Its obviously pure Sci fi but I wouldn't say its overly star warsy, they've done well not to shoe horn it in so far, even with the use of the blues rather than storm troopers just little things like that, it's only really when the can't shoot for shit stuff starts! It looks proper big budget, music is good, special effects are good everything on that side is spot on, acting is good too, not found any soap actors in it so far which is what obi wan and mando suffered from at times, would say its well scripted and has good writing too, wasn't overly sold on the flashbacks as I don't think ultimately they had that much impact but we'll see where they go with that, again the pacing is good and it's telling its story rather than rushing so if the flashbacks are part of that then so be it its better than the alternative as shown in obi wan, it also did a decent job of not trying to generate danger for a character that you know nothing happens to, it doesn't have a false peril problem Its the best SW TV show by a distance already just needs to now take it somewhere interesting, Mon mothma will make it very star wars, they also need to tone down Saw Gerrera because for me he was the one big negative from rogue one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I don’t think it is any coincidence that this series has started off well - Rogue One was one of the better films out of the new lot in my view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Saw the first 3 episodes of Andor last night. Really enjoyed it. They are spending time building story, it is well acted, writing is good and it looks great. Not flashy great, but lived in great. It looks real enough to not jar you out of the story. Fan service BS is at a minimum too, which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Ep 4 was quite good imo and it looks really good. They actually managed to produce a bit of content that is kinda interesting and where it feels it has stakes in what's happening. Even thou we know how it will end. Well done. Could not care less about baby Yoda, Beskar, the Mandalorian or the rotting remains of Boba Fett but Andor actually is worth watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panto_Villan Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I binged all five episodes of Andor today, and I think it's the best Star Wars content since the original three films. It's fantastic. Some really interesting characters in there, particularly on the Empire side, and it's great how much time everything has to breathe. I did enjoy the first season of Mando but honestly this just felt like proper grown-up TV in a way that the other things they've done up to now hasn't. That said, I'm going to watch ep6 when it comes out this week and then stop until the end of the season. The director said the story was cut up into four 3-episode arcs and it's really obvious when binging it. I think having to wait three weeks to watch an entire arc unfold would be quite frustrating for me, so I'll just come back and watch it all at once. It's interesting because I was reading the other day that they originally didn't want to hire the writer they used for the show because they didn't really like his ideas, but there wasn't anyone better available so they just had to go with it - so it kinda sounds like Disney might have made this by accident. Hopefully it does really well and makes them reconsider their direction a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zen Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Episode 6 done. Another good one. Surprised it’s not getting more attention on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Watching it now and it is by far the best of the Disney SW series. Mandalorian was fun in a 'adventure of the week' type of way, Obi was slow and dull and Boba Fett was utter shit. This actually feels like a proper series, with layered characters. Hopefully it will remain good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting a week for every new episode is painful. Episode 6 was so good. So many good actors and interesting characters, and tension is done so well. 1 hour ago, villa4europe said: I inadvertently smashed my way through thr first 3 then haven't had the chance to watch the next 3 so interested to read that's almost like the way it's set up Yeah, it is. But episode 4-6 are a big step up from 1-3 imo, they start to focus on the wider beginnings of the rebellion and the empire. I think it’s brilliant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Caught up, love it Mandalorian is good star wars, this is outright good TV Anyone know where the last 3 episodes were filmed? Didn't know if that was Scotland somewhere (and no doubt got some computer wizardry on it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably no coincidence there’s so many British accents in the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
