I'm just surprised they went with Andor, the character. There's so many better characters that we'd want to see. We still haven't seen Darth Maul's origin and story.

The series could have ended with the Dream Match of the century Darth Maul vs Darth Vader.

It's a bit of a head scratcher for sure. If star wars was full steam ahead, Andor would be a good choice. It would have been a cool spy thriller type story that added content between the main offerings. Unfortunately it's being served up as a main event, and I'm not sure hat was the original intention. They are stretching for star wars D+ content until they can figure out what to do with the IP. Book of Boba seems like it was supposed to be part of Mando season 3. But they needed something to fill in some gaps so they took that story arc out and made it a mini series.

I assume he's characters just a POV character for larger events. We've just seen the introduction setting him up and his entry into a larger world.

In the animated series, they pretty much showed his whole life, including final death.

Yeah, I know, but it would be great to get a Live Action version of it.

It could show events not in the Animated versions and possibly fix the mishandling at the end. I was so p'ed off by his anticlimactic death. They were hyping it up for weeks and then Obi Wan just ends him swiftly like he's an elderly Womp rat.

I am not sure I am watching the same show….as of now I think Andor is the best of the Disney shows…I don’t even get nothing is happening…finally something different for Star Wars

I'd put both Mandalorian and Obi Wan Kenobi ahead of it. Even though the latter one could have been much better. It was still vastly more entertaining than Andor so far. That may change, but it's tough to measure up to Darth Vader and Obi Wan, two iconic characters.

I definitely would put it ahead Boba Fett though. They totally destroyed that character and let a total idiot run the show. Mister Spy Kids should stick to his lame family films, that adults don't give a rats a-- about.

I don't think it will beat Mando for me. Could it be the next best? It could as there's still a lot of time left. It is different and that's not a bad thing. It just needs to balance out the slow with the action. As of now the first 2 episodes were a bit too slow. They leaned a bit too far into the exposition without any real excitement to balance it out. The 3rd episode was much better so hopefully the rest of the season follows suit.

Finally watched this today, did all the episodes back to back. I guess because I just watched them in one block I didn’t really feel like it dragged much or anything though I can understand why they released them all at once. So far, it definitely feels like the second best Star Wars show after Mandalorian to me.

I don’t really care anything about Andor as a character after Rogue One (which I actually think was the weakest Disney SW film until Rise of Skywalker) but I think that works in the show’s favor as I have no particular pre conceived notions or expectations that need to be met. Just entertain me and I’ll be happy.

Excited that it’s a longer season so I hope there’s something me self contained episodes in there that entertain on their own.

That’s what I did too… maybe it works better in a movie format… it never dragged for me… I even felt the tension building up even in the supposed slow episode 2

I understand why they released the first three episodes at once. It did feel like things were starting to happen at the end of episode 3.

The pacing of episodes was a bit weird. I didn't feel the first two had a distinct purpose with a beginning and end. I get that it's an anthology story but each episode just seemed to end randomly for no rhyme or reason. I feel like the first three episodes could have been tightened up and made into an extended 60 minute premiere or something.

Regardless, the premise will hopefully pay off and production values are stellar as always. I am enjoying it thus far.

I noticed that, too - the first two episodes didn't end; they just stopped!

I think it just shows the confused nature of these kind of TV shows. Where they don't know if they are TV shows or movies, but just broken down as if they are TV shows.

Just gave it a re-watch and I love it. It is gorgeous. And more than anything there's this guy:

I wonder when Ellen DeGeneres shows up to boss the men around. Probably in tonights episode, hopefully she doesn't make any of the stormtroopers cry. They've got it hard enough already with their horrible jobs.
