Star Wars Andor Thread

[BeachBum Unreal]

Thoroughly enjoyed the first 3 episodes, it’s a shame it’s not getting the hype it deserves IMO.

 

[Bigbigguy]

Finally got around to watching the 3 episodes. This was great.

I lowkey wish we got 3 episodes a week

 

[WIA20XX]

This show is great. This is Star Wars for a more mature audience. (They almost lost me with that pissing warthog/dog thing at the beginning though...(

The first 5-10 minutes of this series SHOULD have been the tone of usually ice cold/whatever it takes/morally grey Boba Fett.
Instead we got something that should have been the Sopranos turn into Disney Show....smh.

star wars only added "goofy elements" during ROTJ ...

To be fair, this IS pretty goofy


Basically, it's the Muppet Show

Just finished watching all 3 episodes , definitely feels and looks different than the previous Disney+shows which is a good thing. Ep 3 was the best with the warehouse shooting being well done and the town reacting to the Empire lackeys.

Young breh thought it was going to be easy and he would get extra credit, only to be out-maneuvered at every turn . Senior officer tried to tell him to ignore and paint it off as an accident .

I loved Rogue one as it showed the real consequences of the war and focused on the lesser smaller pieces that support the rebellion and empire. Its kinda childish to just think and old powerful emperor just held everybody in check with lightning fingers and a robot enforcer.

The politics and propaganda shown in ep 1-3 bored The casual fans but it layed out how calculated palps is and im sure the show will mirror how our own Govt moves with the imperial senate mostly being puppets and being corrupt with a handful like leia secretfully forming the rebellion.

We need that Palp origin show and Starkiller

Kind of why I didn't like Rogue One overall. Star Wars is space opera. Once you try to be uber real now you have to explain all the other fantastic shyt in the franchise. In the movie when he said something like "I've done horrible things for the rebellion." I busted out laughing. Like they're reallly trying to turn the franchise into Vietnam?

actually the core to any star wars is political ,totalitarianism and tyrants. excluding ep 7,8,9 imb

It's not that deep.

Just a misrepresentation of Star Wars. As mentioned the tone changed in Return of the Jedi but prior to then it had more of a serious demeanor This show is right in line with that. If you think that at its core it’s about goofy aliens then you really miss what it is at its best - a story about many of the things humans deal with, war, family issues, politics good vs evil. etc only set against the backdrop of a fantastical galaxy with magical elements and various alien species. It can embody many different facets and your attempts to pigeonhole the franchise are off the mark.

Edited to add - what were all the goofy aliens in Empire Strikes Back, widely considered the best movie in the franchise? Yoda started out goofy but that was because he was testing Luke and afterwards when his real personality came out he was all business about trying to teach him important life lessons. Most of the aliens in a New Hope were in the Cantina scene and they weren’t depicted as especially goofy.

No that's older Star Wars fans trying to rationalize why they still watch Star Wars because they feel they shouldn't or are embarrassed to admit they do.

It was never serious and DESIGNED FOR KIDS.

The CREATOR George Lucas has even said this himself ]

The films were designed for 12-year-olds. I said that right from the very, very beginning and the very first interviews I did for A New Hope. It’s just that they were so popular with everybody, that everybody forgot that.” He argued that those who were 10 when watching A New Hope had the same expectations for The Phantom Menace. But being in their 30s, they inevitably would have had a different experience

And HE even himself CONFIRMED what I'm even saying

They want the films to be tough, like Terminator, they want to be real guy movies. They get very upset and very opinionated about anything that has anything to do with being childlike—which the movies are for children but they don't want to admit that" — George Lucas, 1999

@ Star Wars being deep, serious or adult.

I never said I wasn't enjoying the show .

I've even said I prefer the tone of the show


I simply, said it's not Star Wars due the tone, seriousness and Nolan approach.

A "Mature/Adult Star Wars" is an oxymoron in itself.

It's y'all who cant accept Star Wars for what it actually is.

The damn creator has even told y'all this EXPLICITLY but y'all are EXACTLY like the fan Lucas was describing in the video I posted

Some people just insist on doubling down on being wrong. You didn’t engage with any points made and it’s obvious you’re just responding on some save face shyt. Look it’s ok to say hey I’m casual fan of Star Wars and what I enjoy about it is this element of it. But continuing to pretend like you have any kind of point is tedious.

The actual creator of the damn franchise and IP has said everything I've said (which you claimed to be a misinterpretation of Star Wars) so how can I be wrong?


Don't tell me a "Mature Star Wars" make sense in the IP or that it was ever that serious when the creator himself has said it is for children.

 

[Bar Razor]

I’d also like Jazzy to show me all the kids fare that has limbs being graphically severed and such. The movies could be enjoyed by children due to the backdrop of spaceships aliens and such but they weren’t childish. Something you’re intentionally failing to see because you’re arguing just to argue.

Aside from pointing out Threepio and R2 who are droids he also fails to point out all the “goofy aliens” in the first two movies. His words.
