Oh fuck off with this shit. Episode 1 and 2 could have been combined without skipping a fucking beat.
lol, I assumed they had direct deposit or something. Didn’t think they were actually trying to steal money. I thought they were after the names on the payroll. I’m dumb
It was pretty awesome that Mr Try Hard’s plan was a catastrophic failure. Also awesome that the douchy boyfriend got lit up.
To put it in Marvel terms, it's a Captain America: Winter Soldier, not a Thor: Ragnorok. It's very good but you have to pay attention.
Fandom is very weird. I don’t think Mando is very good yet it seems to rate off the charts. I think Andor, so far, is the best stuff since Return of the Jedi yet some people don’t like it.
This show is probably too slow for most. It requires thought. Most just want to see some decent action and the story is inconsequential. That's not to say that the story in Mandalorian isn't good. Just more simplistic I suppose.
I love this. One thing I love most is that the actors and actresses are taking it seriously. TIE fighter is good shit.
Mando was a good show too but let’s be real a big factor in its success was baby Yoda the pacing doesn’t feel a ton different in Mando/Andor
The crazy thing is baby Yoda is my least favorite part of Mandalorian. I was really happy when he went with Luke. Can't believe they couldn't even wait until season 3 to reunite them.
I’d assume for most adult males baby Yoda really just served as a very minor nostalgia type role in that show. But he was the only thing in the show that really catered to the younger audience. Shits on little Leia though in that department. Saw on IMDB it looks like they’re bringing back Alan Tudyk as the K-2SO droid from Rogue One. I’ve never had a problem with “droid humor” in SW movies/shows (aside from the “oh no 3PO can’t remember anything” jokes in TROS) so I’m okay with him being the comedic relief in this. He was enjoyable in Rogue
It makes sense that we'll see Andor and him team up at some point if this show leads up to the events of Rouge One. I'm all for it. He was easily the best droid they've done.
One thing I really like about this show and Star Wars in general is they're not afraid of inconsistent anachronism. Like, you have FTL starships, laser weapons, and fully conscious robots, but you don't have direct deposit for your army.
What an awesome episode of tv Spoiler can someone explain the senate scene? Was everyone leaving due to the news of the robbery? also, who died? The young kid died after surgery. Andor shot and killed the Skem guy. What happened to the other girl? She just walked away in imperial uniform? The Lt. who helped them and the guy with the mustache both died in the shootout before the ship took off?
yea I think that's right, although the two guys who were shot in the shootout I could see still being alive. especially the Lt.
Correct on the dead. Not sure what the one girl's escape plan was. Also I was thinking the same as you on the senate scene. Gat Damn what a good episode of TV
IDK man laser blasts seem to be a pretty certain death in the majority of SW world. Also not sure if they even need to revisit those two mentioned. Spoiler I was assuming this was a one-time collaboration between those people in the first place. Kind of a one time robbery that sets them up for life and they all go their separate ways. If I had to guess Andor goes back to skarsgaard for another mission. Unless this was the big caper of the season and they spend time showing him potentially using the money to pay back all the people he fucked over on the home planet. Hopefully if they do that they don't spend a lot of time on it and we move on to another mission / him officially joining the rebellion
yea yea but they were getting enough of a cut I thought to set them up. Not the Skeen-size cut but enough that they wouldn't be an ongoing thing maybe that conversation never happened. But I thought Skeen had mentioned it before in the camp
Guessing she just slipped away in all the confusion. They probably assumed all the culprits were on the ship.
Militarily accurate things I enjoyed from that episode: The dress uniform suddenly not fitting after not wearing it a while Soldier using a convenient box to sit on for when officers aren’t around Soldiers who drew the short straw and having to stay on duty gambling the second they’re pretty sure everyone is too busy at an event to check on them Officer dying of a heart attack after performing 7 minutes of manual labor ———— I really really liked the episode; I thought it did a great job of keeping the tension high the entire time, and none of the Star Wars / Marvel standard quippy one liners to cut the tension. It felt legit stressful. I also liked how it showed that these guys are amateurs, especially The Waif hesitating on the go/no go. Space Marxist clearly had “Kill Me, I am to good for this dark twisted world” written on him the whole time but I like how his manifesto is going to radicalize Andor. Also I am totally the guy who really likes that this doesn’t have the traditional SW feel, and that we're not doing a ton of cameos, but I’m also the guy going “Fuck Yeah, TIE Fighters!
The scene with the lady just passing out jail sentences like a DMV worker was great. Hopefully now we get a jailbreak episode next week.
One of the things I really like is how some of the characters look like they're straight out of the 70s.
The faceless chick is gonna meet the same fate she met vs. Arya Stark if she actually tries to follow through with the assassination mission
fascist gov’t using false and frivolous imprisonment for the purpose of free labor to fuel their war machine probably excites the shit out of some people in this country.
