Andor has gone from the name that I didn’t really care about on that big MCU-style Star Wars Wall-O-Announcements screen to now the guiding light for every major Star Wars project going forward.
I believe this season is 12 episodes, so we are halfway there with six more to go and then an additional 12 episodes in season 2. Truly a bounty of riches!
Except he doesn’t since he attempts to refuse the monetary tribute that the purpose of the racket is to collect, never authorizes violence against people, and seems to think it’s his job to actually provide protection (whereas a racket provides no protection and actively assaults its “customers.”)
I remember back in The Dark Ages of elementary school, when I first read Romeo and Juliet, that my English teacher’s first words about it were this: “You will find out everything that happens in the story in the first couple of paragraphs. The point is the story, not the ending.”
Honestly, I think Rise of Skywalker just about killed any interest I ever had in The Force. Between that and the fact that with every passing day my interest in any sort of religion gets smaller and smaller, I’m with you - let the Jedi die, and let’s get back to what made Star Wars great: a believable, lived-in,…
Same here. I don’t want to jinx it by admitting it, but as of this moment it’s everything I ever wanted the Star Wars universe to be.
It’s a mediocre movie. Edgar Wright is really, really overrated. That’s basically the story.
Is the lesson “don’t spend $85 million on a Scott Pilgrim movie”?
I saw this in theaters in 2010 and I still don’t get the appeal. Maybe I’m just old and uncool
I don’t understand the lament of Andor being thinly sketched. It ignores what seems to be his one driving passion to that point (finding his sister). But even if you want to look past that, people who are radicalized to fight in ideological wars are often times shiftless/lacking in any sort of animating belief. It’s…
More blue milk!
Between this and The Bear, Ebon Moss-Bachrach is getting oddly typecast as someone dealing with the suicide of a close friend/family member.
This is the first Star Wars property that has made the TIE fighter as awesome and fear-inducing as it was back in 1977, in my opinion. Too many movies and shows have made the TIE into easily-dispatched cannon fodder. But in Andor, they’re loud, they’re fast, they’re frightening, and just glorious.
That was as old-school as Star Wars props get - huge callback to the original movie and the repurposing of all sorts of everyday items.
I dug how stressed Luthen and Mon Mothma were. It gave a sense that this isn’t just another Rebel mission ... it’s the first one of this size. The show has slowly built in a feeling of history about to be made - like we’re coming up on the Star Wars equivalent of the first shots at Fort Sumter, or the Boston Tea…
Hell yes it was. Star Wars practical effects out of everyday items are back, baby! It’s 1999 and I’m seeing my mom’s razor standing in for Qui-Gonn’s communicator all over again.
I never understood this fascination with zombies, and the craze has been going on for a weirdly long time now. So I haven’t watched a single ‘zombie’ series. Do they even get speaking parts?
I mean, isn’t that the point of an adaptation? Take the bones of a text and make it your own? Hell, just making the subtext of a sexual/romantic(?) relationship between Louis and Lestat textual invalidates the original novel as written. Also, at least in the interviews that AMC put out, they’re more or less adapting…
BAT!
