My question is if Disney is capable of producing this quality of content for a Star Wars show, why did they use it on Andor? Why couldn’t Boba Fett or Kenobi receive this type of TLC?

Answer: TONY GILROY is the showrunner. One of the dopest screenwriters of our time. We have to thank him for bringing the Jason Bourne series to life. Dave Filoni may have to step his game up.

The incredible acting and tension in this show is covering up for the fact that not alot is happening from one episode to next.
They always take 1 episode longer than i expect to complete a mini arc.
For example,

He Went to jail at the end of one episode. cool
Spend the entire next episode in jail thinking about escaping - cool
third episode still in jail, still thinking about escaping but this time he has further incentive because he now knows he will never be set free.

So assuming he finally escapes next episode, that will in a sense be a four episode prison arc,

in a 12 episode season taking 4 episodes to set up a mini arc and conclude it seems a bit sluggish. they did the same with heist arc, was 1 episode too long.

Should have been just three episodes for this prison arc.

but again i want to emphasize that i am absolutely loving this show, everything else is perfect imo, just could improving the pacing a bit.

This was a three prison arc. Gilroy said episode 7 was more the aftermath of 6. The prison arc officially began in 8 immediately after his sentence.

If you want to read the story as some lone feminists trying to make their way up the Space Nazi bureaucracy, I'm not stopping you...

I just think it's a stretch.
that's just one intepretation. she's got this drive to prove herself in this system and goes to extreme and evil lengths to do so. it's fantastic. they've taken something which most people would praise in a story about a female trying to move up in the workplace and turned it into something where the audience is like "wait hold on... dawg wtf she's torturing people and framing murders and shyt"

Stellan mothafukkin Skarsgard :wow:

Whenever I hear a character in a movie or show answer a question with the "everything," I know it's coming before they even say it. It's so obvious and overused that it's become cliche. Whatever meaning it may have had has long since been lost.

But not this time.

When Stellan Skarsgard delivered that monologue about what he's sacrificed for the rebellion, you felt that shyt.

This was Boris Shcherbina from Chernobyl telling Lonnie that he sacrificed EVERYTHING. He knew he was a cursed man whose life was forfeit but it didn't matter. He had an obligation to his people to fix the mess that the nuclear reactor / the Empire caused. You believed him in Chernobyl and you believe him now.

What a fukkin performance. That was some award winning shyt right there.
