This show is different. It is incredible. The writing, acting, plot, themes, visuals, all of it. It’s borderline offensive in the sense this is what Star Wars could of been.

lmao, totally. watching it made me realize just how much star wars stuff is mostly a bunch of fan service mixed in with high dollar special effects of weird beasts, laserswords and telekinesis. then fuckin' Tony Gilroy shows up and puts us in the living places to tell a story about living characters in living communities changing under the heat and pressure of a pervasive, ascendant oppression. for shit's sake, he made me fear tie fighters.

i was in the same boat, having just come out of Obi Wan (on a friend's recommendation) thinking like, "man, who even gives a shit about this anymore?" i thought Moses Ingram was compelling, but i was so fatigued on it all. i started the first ep of Andor fully expecting to not give a shit and quit, but it had me in just a few minutes and only set its hooks deeper over time.
