I don’t know if it was intentional, but focusing on TV may turn out to be a smart move for them. The pressure is lower and it lets them take a little time to tell stories. The seasonal and episodic nature lets them react in real-ish time to what is working and what is not instead of over-thinking and over-reacting to…

Per The Hollywood Reporter, last July, the studio assembled a secret writers’ room of TV writers to figure out why this movie thing isn’t working so well.

Keith being a piece of shit does not make James any less of a piece of shit, so bringing up that Kieth is a piece of shit is not relevant to the actual situation.

“I just think it’s beneath all of us. It’s beneath you.”

This quote right here shows how James is very much a classist rich piece of shit. He is literally saying these waiters are beneath him and not worth treating with respect. He is saying their feelings are not worth the time of the elite. Fuck Corden.

Do a lot of people wish they could get away with defending Woody Allen and Ghislaine Maxwell?

Standing up for your staff isn’t being an asshole.

Everything I hear about this guy is how he is just an unmitigated asshole.

A game I play during movies is waiting for a character to say the title. It may have started from reading this book.

Me too.  Germany has made some excellent TV films about their own difficult history (and not just the Nazi period), and most of them are never distributed outside Europe, so I’m glad to see Netflix picked this up.

Ohhhhhh yes. Very much in.

I’d actually say that - at least so far - on a whole the story of Andor is looking to be a lot more important to the mythos/world of Star Wars than almost any other recent TV show/spin-off. Obi-Wan’s grand contribution was ret-conning a single line from RotJ, while Andor is basically showing the entire conception of…

Eh, just don’t look at it like that. Don’t think of it as dark or gritty or adult. I agree with many here that it feels less like it’s “for kids” than a lot of Star Wars stuff, but it also still feels like Star Wars. Bottom line—it’s a very good show, well made. Chuck the labels & just enjoy!

It’s not “mature” in the way it seems like you’re expecting. It’s just that Andor’s set pieces are intensely character-driven, instead of special effects surrounding paper-thin plots and fanservice. And it makes the Star Wars universe feel lived in rather than just looking that way.

I’ve thought since the Aldahni storyline began that the restraint the show has had with not showing the iconic stomtrooper armor even once before now was a terrific decision that also just made sense. They’re soldiers, they’re not deployed for everything. It made their appearance now raise the tension in a way that…

I think “mature” just means we’ll shot, written, directed, and acted in this case.

“I have to ask who really wants Star Wars for adults?”

That’s what makes it so great. It’s not anything you’d think you’d want, but after you see it it’s like, “I need more of this please!”

mature doesn’t necessarily mean dark.

I don’t know your definition of ‘dark’ sci-fi, but if you’re leaning in the ‘gritty’ Blade Runner direction, Andor is in fact not that, and why I feel it’s refreshing not just for Star Wars but the current cyberpunk-obsessed grimdark sci-fi landscape in general. Andor is an ‘adult’ ‘mature’ show insofar as it...…

The decision to hold off on showing us stormtroopers and star destroyers until now has really made their appearances here pay off. We just get a little bit, and it’s enough to actually make them seem dangerous. Same with how the show handled the TIE fighters on Aldhani. I’m glad to see a Star Wars property treating…
