I loved Andor but Better Call Saul was about as good as TV can be. That being said, yeah, Succession will win.

I think I've said it here before but before the show started, I wondered why they were putting up three episodes at once and after I saw them, I understood that spreading those episodes over three weeks would have felt pretty slow to the audience.

The first three episodes are the weakest ones but I imagine that episodes 4, 5 and 6 will capture your interest.

And if anyone is wondering what's the battle of Yavin, it's when they destroy the first Death Star/the original movie.

[HARDCORE NERD]Thumbs up to the Colin Cantwell reference with the class name of the cruiser.[/HARDCORE NERD]

As someone who likes when Star Wars mellows out and is silly, I wholeheartedly endorse this bad idea. :laugh:

Also, I realize that they pretty much have to start at the beginning but I'd argue that those two episodes are the weakest of the series.

Maybe a better way to say it is that you don't really need any previous knowledge of Star Wars to follow this show. You don't even need to know what a Jedi is to understand things.

I think this show would be interesting to non-SW fans. Other than Cassian, there's nothing here that makes me think of Star Wars and even that is due solely to his being in another SW movie.

Cassian's mother does have B2EMO but I'd guess that they want to have this series focus more on 'real' people so there's less droids and aliens than they normally have in SW. Also, you don't see as many droids in the OT as they had in the PT so it makes sense that there's not a ton running...

In the real world, Cassian and company

I'd say all three.

In a similar vein, I like that these episodes run longer than I had expected. When they said the show would be 12 episodes, I figured most episodes would run +/- 35 minutes (like The Mandalorian and The Book Of Boba Fett) and they're probably averaging 50 minutes each. The "extra" time is nice...

Agreed. My first thought was that he was helping build pieces of the Death Star but that seems pretty coincidental (even for Star Wars) and they probably would have said they were working on a "secret weapon project" to let the audience know that it was the Death Star so I think it's just some...

Beyond the obvious one, there was also

Touche. :laugh:

I see that alot too but I can't imagine that Disney expected the same numbers from Andor as they did from The Mandalorian (it was the first SW Disney + show and Baby Yoda was pretty much guaranteed to be a hit) or The Book Of Boba Fett (an iconic SW character) or Obi-Wan (the return of Ewan...

Yeah, I don't like walking thirty feet from my car to a building but I get why the people hiked all that way to see it in person.

That episode might have been my favorite of any of Disney +'s Star Wars TV shows.

I liked all of the episodes but I'll freely admit that putting the first three episodes up at one time was a smart idea because the series does take until episode 3 to get going.

Yeah, I follow that so I really should have quoted that part of the post to agree with Sam rather than take issue with the people he's referring to in the first part. :laugh:

I would actually disagree with that part of your post. This is how these Star Wars characters and this story should be but I don't want every show or movie to be dark (for SW anyway) like this. The original movies are largely fun and personally, I like the SW stuff when they're largely having a...

I doubt you're that interested but Marvel has a comic book series called Star Wars (it's currently 27 issues in) that fills in the year between Empire and Jedi. :)

I don't know if this series has retconned it but it was previously established that Cassian fought against the Republic in the Clone Wars. If that still holds, I guess Kenari is a Separatist planet and those kids are fighting for the CIS (presumably unofficially since they seem like a random...

Yeah, it definitely makes more waaaaaaay more sense that they had the second Death Star at least started when the first one was destroyed but in both the old expanded universe and current continuity, it's established that the Empire started building the second one only after the destruction of...

If I remember correctly, the Geonosians started building parts of the Death Star about a year into the Clone Wars (or a year after Attack Of The Clones) and you see the Death Star in a skeletal stage at the end of Revenge Of The Sith so at the time of Andor, they've been working on it for about...

Which is better the hour-long Twilight Zone or the half-hour TZ? One of the best things about streaming shows is that the episodes can run whatever time works for the episode rather than having to fit an exact run time.

I could be wrong but I believe someone (maybe even Tudyk) said he wasn't in the first season. However, if this series is going to run up/come close to the events of Rogue One, it seems like K2-SO would have to be in the second season.

That's a bit more serious than I'd like from Star Wars (though it fits with the Cassian character and Rogue One) but it looks pretty great. Also, I think it's too early in terms of the timeline but I hope they finally show how

I'd put that on the audience waaaaaay more than Disney. Like any business, Disney will make anything that sells and everything that has had a positive fan reaction has been connected to Lucas' SW movies/TV show and anything that tried to do something different resulted in total hysterics from a...
