Disney+ Star Wars: Andor with Diego Luna (1 Viewer)

Good Vanity Fair piece on Andor:

‘Andor’ Broke New Ground and Shattered ‘Star Wars’ Traditions. Did It Pay a Price?

It’s hailed as the best of the galaxy’s shows, but isn’t massive like ‘The Mandalorian’ or ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi.’ The reason, like the morality of the series, is complicated.

I'm glad there's a second season locked in despite the non-Mandalorian level viewership. My wife is definitely one of the Star Wars averse mentioned in the article. I haven't pushed her to watch this at all, but I was watching it the other day and once I told her it was a Star Wars property she made a comment and left. My only response was that she wouldn't have known it was Star Wars if I hadn't told her. I doubt she would ever come around, but I think she would actually like (or at least feel fine about) Andor if she would give it a chance. Unfortunately she's been burned enough times to not want to (Phantom Menace started it and it never recovered).

I finished my second viewing of Andor yesterday. My favorite arc is still the Narkina 5 prison break, mainly because Andor gets to see things from the other side trying to turn the mind of Kino Loy like others were trying to do for him. In the moment he finds out Maarva has passed, he has effectively joined the rebellion.

The title of that linked article:

Diego Luna and Adria Arjona appear downcast as they are transformed into character while filming season two of Star Wars spin-off Andor in London

Wait. Was there a scene in Andor where Luna didn't appear downcast?

 

[Citizen87645]

Yeah, you have to watch Luna doing publicity and taking about his Jabba fixation too see what he looks like "upcast."

‘Andor’: Lucasfilm Debuts First Look at Season 2 of Star Wars Prequel Series

Luscasfilm unveiled its first look at Season 2 of its Disney+ series “Andor” on Friday as part of the Star Wars Celebration fan convention in London. The 12-episode first season of “Andor,” create…

"Gilroy explained on Friday that the team is working as quickly as possible to get Season 2 done. Shooting began in November and is expected to wrap in August. The creator predicted the show will hit Disney+ in August 2024....

The next season of “Andor” is expected to unfold in a much different format from Season 1. Luna is returning, along with Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Faye Marsay and Varada Sethu. But rather than take place over a year, the 12-episode season will take place over four years leading up to right before the events of “Rogue One,” in three-episode pods written and directed by the same team. Each of those pods will encapsulate a successive number of days within one of those years.

Fans have long anticipated that Season 2 will depict how Cassian found and reprogramed the Imperial droid K-2SO, voiced by Alan Tudyk in “Rogue One.”

Nominated for Best Drama Series at this years Emmy’s.

 

[NeilO]

The Disney folk have a nice publicity image.

 

[Sam Favate]

This is so well deserved. I hope they win (although I suspect it will go to Succession).

The Obi-Wan series was nominated for best limited series too, which is also nice.

I think Star Trek: Picard deserved a nod too.

 

[TravisR]

This is so well deserved. I hope they win (although I suspect it will go to Succession).

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

 

[Tino]

You’re both wrong. It will be THE LAST OF US.

 

[Tino]

I think Star Trek: Picard deserved a nod too.

Agreed.
