Thought Skeen was going to be a problem but Taramyn's constant :birdman: energy threw me off. :dead:

Some of those Mando episodes had me sparked when they came out, but you might be right.

Great episode. They're really making it look easy with this show. You have to wonder why they've been blowing it with the other shows now, if this is what they're capable of. I thought it might be a budget issue, but I looked it up and the rumor is that the per episode budget is similar to both Mando and Obi Wan. The fukk? :why:
CGI, writing, visuals, acting. Everything is a step above here.
I think it’s because they get to avoid space wizards. The Jedi and the Force are just hard concepts to write around. If you add a Jedi then you got to give them a challenge and that is really only another jedi and bam the story gets fukked over by power creep while the whole thing leads up to a final fight between the two Jedi.

To make it even worst there Is a only two Sith at a time rule so you can’t even just make armies of jedis fight.

True, and I agree. Star Wars definitely needed to ground itself. Mando did a good job of doing that as well.
The thing is though, that might make for bad writing but doesn't quite explain the bad CGI, visuals and acting that we've been seeing. Mando has been great, and at times looked great as well, but not to level of Andor.

Yeah this episode was IT.

Mando was great but got fukked over due to it's (and baby Yoda's) own popularity. S2 was literally just a jumpoff platform for other shows and an attempt at seeing if they can get away with CGI Luke. It's entire ending was ruined by a throwaway episode in the fukking Boba Fett show which immediately reversed course on the Baby Yoda arc.

I hope s3 will be more selfcontained but I think I already saw that Ahsoka gets her own episode or some shyt.

Andor is shaping up to be incredible.
