    • @toreadoress
      @toreadoress 2 года назад +38

      I'm not really sure but I think because this was considered as "low profile" show by Disney where there aren't any big SW names and they probably didn't really care that much about it and just wanted more shows for Disney+ so they gave more control to the actual show makers and much less interference compared to big ones like Obi Wan and Boba Fett where I guess Disney wants to be the way they want instead of giving control to the creators to write a compelling story. So the show makers were able to construct an actually well written show and focus on quality over cheap humor, cameos and superficial story.

      I bet the reason why this show is so good is cause Disney did not micromanage it like they did Kenobi because it wasn’t a big character. They need to learn the right lessons from this show. Writing and story should be priority #1. Imagine this level of writing in a Jedi/Sith story. The ratings are due to KK’s incompetence for the last almost decade that has turned off the casual audience. Sad to see such a great show suffer because of it. I’m hoping word of mouth can make Season 2 bigger.

Amazing acting and finally some aliens in the show. That made me excited for what might be coming up soon. Also, felt intrigued to know more about what planet the prison was at.

    I think the pacing, the build-ups and the multi episode mini-arcs is what makes this 12 episode series an absolute winner. It is what makes this prison escape episode so rewarding and gripping compared to lets say the speedy cartoonish Obiwan/Leia trench-coat disguise escape from Fortress Inquisitorious in Kenobi ep4.. Plus no Jedi mind tricks to break you out or resist a mind probe in this show. It all adds to the realistic mature tone and makes for great drama, you really get invested in these flawed 3D characters. Luthen was like the Godfather: Every time you think you're out, We'll pull you back in !

      Exactly, some people just don’t like talking and actual storytelling, it’s far better to show a story through characters actions and emotions than to just feed it to you through quick forgettable dialogue and action sequences that aren’t thought out enough to be among some of the best. The prison sequence had my heart racing and made me really invested into it because of all of the time dedicated to showing how they will break out and why they have the motivation to break out instead of just waiting to die, the anticipation was very well done and made us all feel like we were trying to get out too. I also love the brutality in this show, it demonstrates how fucked up the world can be and the extreme choices they have to make

      i wouldnt call it necessarily *filler*, but the buildup takes 3x longer than it has to take to be effective, and lots of the buildup is repetitive, the conversations are the same over and over, the scenes are the same over and over, and if its so well written it wouldnt need multiple episodes of buildup before anything in the show happens. like episode 7 was my favourite episode of the series, and that one didnt need any buildup, it was a standalone episode. personally, half the time i have to be doing something else while watching cuz its so boring if i dont. oh well tho, there seems to be lots of people still enjoying it so thats good, theres tons of other content coming for those of us that dont like more kenobi, mando s3, ahsoka, acolyte… something for everyone!

Same with the Aldani heist, lesser shows would’ve spent 20 minutes building up the heist but this show took its time and that’s why ep 6 was so phenomenal. If you want a show that doesn’t have buildup go watch the Mandalorian or Book of Boba Fett or Obi Wan.

    I disagree with the length and filler. I think this has been on of the most interesting, intense, well written and acted series I have watched, Star Wars or not. This series has been really well thought out from events to intense personal dialogue that has fit and made you appreciate aspects of the originals and pre-quels and how it relates. Super well done.

    I think it's also important to note that when they started to fry the floor, Kino told everyone to climb onto the tables yet he stayed still. Just goes to show he was willing to save everyone else over himself
    I think it's fantastic that we get the opportunity to have episodes that people think are "slow" and "boring" because that build up gives us moments like this. It wouldn't have hit as hard if this was only in 2 episodes or something. I've enjoyed Andor from start to finish, it's a masterpiece in my books

    I must admit that when they announced Andor, I wasn’t really interested in the idea, being Cassian Andor was one of the least interesting characters to me in Rogue One. But I was going to watch it, and I’m glad I have, as this is some really good SW content. I wish all of Disney’s SW had the kind of care and dedication that this series has. Maybe this is the beginning of changes for the better.

    My favorite moment is when Kino yells at his crew how ridiculous it was for all of them to panic at a simple phrase of "level 2" being telephoned by hand signs from floors below. which I instantly busted into laughter cuz he was right in a certain way.
    There was too little information but it goes to show how isolated those prisoners were to come up with such a primitive way of communicating with other floors. They had no choice but to communicate that way.

  • @JFLOJUDO

    You constantly use the word exposition when you’re describing characterization.
    Exposition is when characters explain the plot to each other for the sake of the audience. Sometimes this is done well-showing instead of telling-during the action. Sometimes this is done badly-telling instead of showing.
    Characterization means fleshing out compelling 3 dimensional characters with rich backstories. This causes the audience to form an emotional attachment to the characters so that when the climactic action set piece arrives, we as the audience are worried about the characters, enthralled with the action, and invested in the outcome. This is what Andor does so well. Great writing

    I understand wishing that the series had gotten to the point quicker, but if we compare this style of storytelling to Obi-Wan, for example, it begins to make sense. Had Reva's character not been as rushed I'm sure we'd like her substantially more. Inversely, I'm convinced this episode was so well done because we've slowly seen Cassian throughout the series pivot from being a cleverly selfish individual to someone who cares about others, and I think this, well of course, will be the catalyst for his role in the resistance. Really impressed with this series, and even more impressed with the character development of Cassian. 10/10 episode.

    You keep stating that this series has been too much of a slow burn etc, but I feel this is what makes it great. We become more invested in the character's back stories, and this is the advantage of a tv series. Maybe in future films we will see these characters and we'll know why we are supportive or against them, rather than being told "this is bad, this is good".
    Anyway, loving Andor and can't wait to see the build continue.

Twice purely because the episodes ended. I was enjoying it so much that I was annoyed that it ended. Great stuff from Disney. Gives me real hope for a Star Wars future.

    Holy sh*t that episode was next-level. The prison break was incredibly tense, especially considering we already know Cassian makes it out.
    And Luthen's speech at the end about what he had sacrificed, combined with Stellan Skarsgard's incredible performance was f*cking Shakespeare. I was watching on tablet and when he rhetorically asked "What have I sacrificed?" I instinctively pulled the screen closer, hanging on every word. And the echo at the end when he yells "everything" just hammered it all home. As soon as credits rolled I immediately went back and watched that scene again. Absolutely top-shelf TV 🔥🔥🔥
