I still can’t believe what I saw at the end of The Mandalorian.
That was fucking tits. I wish I liked the films more but the two shows I watched were a real breath of fresh air for the franchise. |

the second i finished mando s2 i called my dad, he was really disappointed by the films, and since didnt have disney+ I told him to he had to come over for 8 hours on the next free day he had. watching him watch that scene was like watching a kid on christmas morning. it was really special.

TLHJ is a top 3/4 Star Wars film for me. I really enjoyed the Luke Rey Kylo story.

Dammit.... gone from "lol Disney really doing all they can to milk this thing... a prequel series about a dude from a prequel movie" to "damn, this looks great, I can't wait to see it!" |

That was my reaction when the first teaser dropped. Still looking really good.

Slow burn start to Andor, but loved the third episode. Glad they released the three at once. From a visual point of view may be the best of all the Star Wars shows.
Destor is gonna be SO pissed at all the accents in it. |

Show is really good so far. Pleasantly surprised after the MEH-ness of Kenobi.

I still don't even understand this Star Wars with unstilted dialogue. I'm not saying it's Quentin Tarantino or anything but I don't find himself having to lower my expectations of natural-sounding conversations while watching Andor.

I guess it helps when the likes of Stellan Skarsgard and Diego Luna deliver the lines it sounds less forced.

Only real issue with the show is the pacing and structure. Still enjoying it tons, I just wish there was a bit more focused on episodic arcs that bleed into the series arc, versus it being more or less a long movie.

Just watched the new episode.... lol at just kind of randomly ending.
Slow pace for sure.... wonder if the show is gonna do "3 episode story arcs" where the first two are kinda slow and then the 3rd is exciting.... |

I like the slow pace, but, as you said, the episode ended randomly. Don't understand why the deliberate pace can't mesh with episodes that have a beginning, middle, and end.

Space cereal guy and blonde career girl seem to be positioned as "grey" area Imperials.

Don't think blonde braud is on the way to being a rebel though.... think she will eventually get that promotion and lead the charge against them...

Episode 6 was great....
Seriously considering not watching the next 3 weeks so I can watch them all at once.... just as a guess that it will follow the "3 episode cycle" and I can binge it.... But more likely I won't be able to wait. |

Yeah they are def doing 3 episode arcs—where each one is ostensibly a movie.

I am watching it. Rogue One is my favorite post-prequels Star Wars offering, so this is hitting the spot for me.

I’d argue the show is better than Rogue One—especially if you’re a big nerd like me.

Been revealed that episode 7 will be a "standalone" episode. Episodes 8-10 will be another 3-ep story arc, and then eps 11-12 will be a two-part finale.
We will see if I have the will power to wait so I can watch 8-10 all at once as a "movie". (Spoiler: The answer is no) |

This show is excellent. In almost all ways, it's even better than Mando, but Mando has more IT factor.
The lack of ratings is disheartening because it'll discourage them from making good content. I hope they understand that waning interest likely has to do with oversaturating the market with shows that didn't need to exist (Kenobi, Fett). |

No way it’s better than the Mandalorian.
I’ll have to watch it now just to get mad at you for being wrong Dale. |

I wouldn't say it is better than Mandolorian. Every episode of Mando seems to be quality and have a defined beginning and end every episode.... while due to its 3 episode arc nature, Andor can be a bit slow and have weird episode structure.... still laughing at that one week where it just randomly ended to the credits.

Mando's structure is better but the acting, dialogue, and general plot of Andor is better.
And I'd agree that Mando is better in the sense that Steve Austin is way better than Chris Benoit. |

Again. It Factor. There's something special about Mando, but regarding actual thoughtful, adult-oriented content, Andor is miles ahead.

Great episode this week... all starting to converge and the prison scenes were brilliant....
I think he is getting out of there with the help of skinny neck space cereal guy..... that's the only way I see right now.... |

I tried to start this but it wasn’t The Mandalorian so I just couldn’t get into it.
The Mandalorian and Obi Wan have ruined Star Wars for me by being good and giving me exactly what I wanted. Selfish! |
