Also anyone should be wary of a prequel. It usually means they have no creative energy at all to tell an interesting and unique story. Prequels are a way to wind the clock back so you can tell basic-bitch stories that are more trope than creative.
JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot production studio will produce the movie. Abrams directed Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness, the first two movies out of three in the Kelvin timeline. The studio is describing this new movie as an expansion of its Trek universe. 🤢 🤮
Nope, it’s one of the best star wars storylines since the original trilogy. I’m glad the future of star trek isn’t determined by gatekeeping fans, I want more material, especially of non-enterprise stuff
Clearly you didn’t watch it. Or read any of the huge amount of overwhelmingly positive reviews. It’s not just the best Star Wars in ages, it’s the best show of 2023.
Andor was the anti Star Wars series. It was the best written series of all time in Star Wars terms. The dialouge was not just good, it was fucking captivating. Almost every star wars film or show the script is usually mediocre at best and has to be overcome by the actors.
Andor had multiple scenes that left me in awe of the great writing. Maybe it’s because my expectations were low… But damn it was good.
Outside of Rogue One, I have found little joy in any Star Wars stuff since the original trilogy, your comment actually makes really interested in checking out Andor
Andor is a prequel and was written and directed by Rony Gilroy, the writer of Rogue One, and it’s mostly a pre-rebellion political drama with less emphasis in the pew pew (compared to the other Star Wars shows at least). And I’m surprised Disney allowed something so unapologetically antifascist without forcing the writer to tone it down.
Andor is great because it’s largely disconnected. They don’t rely on any big major cameos, there’s hardly even Jedi or Force involved. It’s just a standalone story in the same universe. Honestly, the same things that made Rogue One great make Andor great.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, unless you wanted more Skywalker Family Space Drama.
Nah, Andor was the one Star Wars show that was good despite being Star Wars—as in if you take out all the brand specific stuff you still have an amazingly written story about building a revolution, cynicism, and the disenfranchized standing up to change. It didn’t rely on nostalgia or power fantasy. If the same director gave its own “One way out”/“I can’t swim” or “to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see” moment to Star Trek, it’d rank in the top of Star Trek too.
Wasn’t Andor a steaming pile of dogshit?

It was terrible if you were expecting magic-wielding Chosen Ones and laser swords. If you enjoy anything else, it was outstanding.
I’m my opinion, a lot of the best stuff in the eu has been stories that are light on the space wizardry.

The drew the line at “Fuck the Empire!”
I would share similar feelings.

It’s a good slow burn. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Absolutely not
What didn’t you like about it? I’m genuinely curious, everyone else I’ve talked to loved it.
I didn’t watch it.

Andor and maybe Mandolorian season one are all I can recommend to people who aren’t already heavily invested in Starwars.
