Andor is amazing, it is gritty, tense and it does give respect to all its characters. None of them are there just for the sake of it, they all have purpose. The beauty of the show is that it doesnt depend on light sabers, extensive battles, funny creatures. It has beautiful story, complex characters and amazing actors. Im worried that due to lack of audience this show might not get enough budget to up the ante next season
Andor is made for the hardest of hardcore Star Wars fans. Who've always wanted to see a edgy, more adult version. Which is a contrast to the family, sci-fi fantasy that appeals to both kids and adults.
I thought this was a strange choice for a show when first announced. Now I find myself ready to rewatch this when the season finishes. Can’t wait for season 2!
What makes me most sad is that events like Obi Wan, Boba Fett, and the main sequel trilogy have been done so poorly, yet the best Star Wars out there (Andor, Mandalorian, Rebels, Bad Batch, clone wars) no one outside of hardcore Star Wars fan base cares about.
I think this is probably a big reason. No big name to hook people in like Boba Fett and Obi Wan. Mandalorian had the novelty of being the first Star Wars show which was enough of a hook to get people on board, was actually good so people kept coming back, was relatively short so people with low attention spans didn't tune out, and wasn't a particularly complex story so people didn't have to pay too much attention to details. Andor has none of those qualities, in addition to coming after two stinkers, so the general audience just largely tuned it out. This is all my opinion of course.
People like Star Wars for different things. Some like the lightsabers and flashy duels, some like the wacky and cute aliens, some want a fantasy story in space. It's okay if Andor doesn't appeal to every Star Wars fan (even though I love it and hope more Star Wars is made like it).
This show isn't made to be watched on a weekly basis. Tried watching the first episode and couldn't finish it. One of the most boring episodes of TV I ever watched. Weeks later I heard amazing things about episode 6, and I was like "really"? So I decided to wait and binge. I started yesterday and holy shit. This show is *made* for the binge format. These 3 episode arcs work so well when you can watch them back to back and the pacing is so much better. The "storm" in episode 6 is one of the most visually stunning moments in all of Star Wars.
@@majorlazor5058 I guess it just depends where one's interest are. I feel the 3 episode structure of Andor would have been perfect as one 85 minute episodes. I'm also really into the High Republic books right now so going back to the Empire can sometimes feel a bit been there done that. But I feel episode 6 and beyond have been top tier Star Wars for me.
The answer is obvious. Disney killed Star Wars and every interest in it. It’s sad to see that even a good show don’t get a chance anymore. But it’s Disneys own fault.
But yet the Mandalorian, Obi Wan, and Book of Boba Fett all did well in terms of viewership numbers. There is more going on than just Disney churning out poor Star Wars product because people tuned in for Obi Wan & BoBF. Andor is a great show on the wrong platform. I think the issue is that it is on a Disney streaming service and a lot of the subscribers are going to be people looking for family entertainment or a straight forward space adventure with their Star Wars, and Andor isn't that. Andor is for a more mature audience. I'd wager viewership numbers for Andor would have been higher if it was on HBO.
This tells me that if there isn't Lightsaber battles and Skywalker family drama then star wars fans don't want to watch it. I enjoyed Rogue One the first time I saw it and still do enjoying it every time I watch it. I am enjoying Andor. Think I'm in the minority here, but that's okay because I'm enjoying myself.
I think Rob is right people expect star wars to be a certain type of genre. I know family that are star wars fans tell me that they dont like this show.
I have been loving all the episodes of andor. Rogue one still remains one of my favourites of the recent star wars movies and it’s been brilliant seeing Diego Luna come back. I hope this show gets picked up for another season I don’t want it to end
my guess is that disney from the beginning has been looking at "andor" as an experimental project. they're seeing what the response would be. plus, it's obvious it's targeted for a smaller segment than regular star wars, so i don't think they'd be surprised if the viewership were lower than other star wars shows. the question is: is it lower or higher than their expectation?
I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a jedi but he definitely has knowledge of kyber crystals like the one he gave Andor and that's what makes me think he used kyber crystals on his ship.
The Nielsen ratings have been going up for Andor and its only showing the ratings for week 4 of Andor. I think with the positive word of mouth the ratings will only get better and could reach Kenobi numbers by the end of the season.
Andor is better than Star Wars fans deserve honestly. They deserve Rise of Skywalker and Obi-Wan. They have no appreciation for care, or writing, or craft. The show treats them like adults, but most of them are adult children. The show didn’t fail the audience, the audience failed the show.
"They have no appreciation for care, or writing, or craft." That'll be why TROS has the worst Cinemascore of any live action Star Wars then? Who do you think was watching the movie opening weekend if not Star Wars fans? Sorry, but this 'adult show' is generic sci-fi, badly paced with bland ideas. It's a time period where they can't change anything, and there's no actual innovation or imagination. No, a heist, a prison break and middle management meetings don't count as original ideas. If it wasn't dull, it would have a bigger audience.
Kind of silly it's not getting more attention. In every single facet of filmmaking it is the best thing ever released on Disney+ and it's not even remotely close. Makes the other Star Wars and MCU projects look like Saturday morning cartoons. The cinematography is excellent, the writing might be the best in any live action Star Wars project ever and the performances from the actors are perfect too.
No jedi and light sabres, no grand space battles or droid shoot outs, no monsters, no cutesy characters, barely any aliens. And lots of dialogue. The kids and casual fans arent watching Andor.
Roque One came out in 2016, 6years ago. Andor wasn’t even the main character in that movie. So trying to explain who he is to a casual fan is hard. Yeah he’s part of the upstart Rebels that get the plans to destroy the Death Star. Next question is which Death Star? ect.
It's not "Star Wars". It has a different feel, different tone. John says it himself, "it feels like an HBO show". Now before people think i'm baggin, I'm not. I LOVE Andor. But it people need to realize that it's it's own thing. And as a side note, I'm SO SICK of people saying "the toxic fan response" to TLJ.. wtf. Lets call it what it was, it was a HATRED for TLJ. Just because "I" thought and MANY MANY MANY like me thought, that TLJ was garbage that tarnished the franchise, that doesn't make me toxic. If YOU liked it, fine, but even those I know that like it, admit it split the fan base
I haven't watched Andor even though Star Wars is my favorite movie experience. I saw A New Hope in the theaters when it first came out. Darth Vader was the best character I had ever seen and remains my favorite character of all time. What I love about Star Wars is seeing Jedi fight the good fight while viewing Vader as my hero. I haven't heard of anything like that from Andor, which is fine. It just doesn't have the themes that made me love movies.
Obi Wan Kenobi is an iconic beloved character for 40 years, as is Darth Vader. Andor doesn’t have that. Also Andor is intentionally a slower paced, more mature series. That ain’t going to appeal to everyone.
There have been the comments that the six episode Marvel and Star Wars series have had too few episodes, I wonder if part of the issue is Andor, 12 episodes, having 2-3 episodes too many. The number one complaint seems to be the season started slowly, condensing the first six episodes down to four episodes could have solved that issue.
Based on what I’m hearing, I’ll give it a shot. My issues are: - I’m diving into a character that I know will die. - Star Wars as a whole had been one letdown after another outside of a few standouts.
While you know Andor dies and Motha lives, they are only 2 of the leads. The show might be called Andor but it is an ensemble cast show and we don’t know the fates of any of the new characters and those Andor and Motha know and love.
Because sometimes great stories don't get a big audience. Financial success and artistic quality are not always related. From what I've seen this show is better than anything that came out of Star Wars. EVER. That in itself is, however, no guarantee for a huge audience because sadly a lot of people don't go to Star Wars for sophisticated storytelling about the creation of a rebellion. They want evil Sith lords who wear black cloaks and good Jedi who wear white cloaks, dumb space battles and shiny lightsabers and that's it, unfortunately.
I want a good balance of them all. Not one over another. And u hit the nail on the head, financial success and artistic quality aren’t always related. As much as it should be, but it’s not totally the reality. It’s honestly finding that right balance that gets fans and the general audiences to come together. Not choosing one sub group over another.
Look, I've been tuning into every episode, and while the espionage and political drama is well done - it's just not enough. Like Jaden Korr said, there needs to be a balance. Yes, we need those cool space battles and shiny lightsabers every now and then. Because that is in the D.N.A. of Star Wars.
@@OneGaurdian Is it? That's a pretty small galaxy then...here I was thinking you could tell all kinds of stories set in that universe but I guess you have to have jedi and lightsabers in there at some point. Just goes to show how creatively restricted storytellers are with Star Wars.
@@darrel7589 The other shows aim much lower and are full of nonsense that makes no sense compared to this show so....nice try but you ain't convincing. The stories of those other shows are rather laughable and there never seems to be a need to tell those stories other than to milk the cashcow. Those other shows also have acting that is not just wonky but downright silly compared to the acting on this show.
@@Regenmacher175 Look, when it comes down to it all franchises have their "special ingredients". per say. Harry Potter has Hogwarts and magic. Marvel and DC have superheroes. Bond has espionage and beautiful ladies. Star Trek has Starfleet and the Federation. Would you expect any of them to abandon those elements? Star Wars has the Force, the fight between good and evil. I'm not saying it can't expand into other areas, like Andor has. The problem is it went into this hardcore. Those first few episodes were a slow burn, and it almost felt like the writers were taste testing stories to tell. Also, for a show that was marketing as being about one specific character's journey in the Rebellion it's kind of been trying to be an ensemble sort of thing. Anytime this show started losing me was when it started going too long without him, because I have actually been enjoying his journey here. Everything else: some hits and misses.
i just did mate, i was doing a crossword while getting through the second and the third it actually picks up. they should have conjoined the first two episodes into one and cut out a lot of crap. it would be better. im looking forward to watching the rest
It's really good, but I think it's way too slow and heavy on adult dialog of politics, economy and espionage. The typical Star Wars fan will probably be bored and kids will not like it at all. I really like it. But I do think it's very slow and serious. It's cool that they are putting out different styles and tones for different audiences.
Since the first episode he's been in, Luthen been carrying this extending walking stick that looks like a light saber. Go back and check his first entrance to Ferrix (episode 2?).
This isn't rocket science. Obi Wan and, Fett, Mando either have longer connections with the Fandom or recognizable characters. Does this need to be questioned? He's a newer star wars character from a spin off film.
this isn't for everyone sadly. the pacing is slow, but that's important. but after ep3, it didn't slow down for me anymore. the first 2 are the slowest. some people can't take the pacing, some people can't take that its not "star wars". and sadly there is truth to those statements. but this is an amazing show regardless and i hope people see the beauty of this show. lastly, everytime i have a bad day or i feel bad, i read shit takes from some of the comments here and immediately i feel better.
I've been talking about this on RUclips and social media for months. This may shock some of you but this fan community bubble we all partake in isn't even close to the general audience numbers outside of it. If you go by the community you'd think Obi-Wan was a despised tv series. When in reality it was loved by many casual fans who don't engage in this community. There's that & to compare this to pro wrestling, being "Over", is the most important thing in that business. What that means is the fans one way or the other incite a reaction from you & it's the people that make you FEEL that make the money. Like it or not very few people cared about the characters in Rogue One therefore care even less about the characters that inhabit Andor. While I did like Rogue One that was my biggest gripe with the movie that outside of Andor & K2SO (I feel they really dropped the ball on the main character Jyn Erso), I don't care about anybody in this movie. Say what you want about the sequel trilogy, people cared about Rey, Finn, Poe & Kylo Ren. Andor is a fantastic series and something very different than what we've seen in Star Wars. It's a show many of us in the community are loving but since these characters aren't "Over" like Obi-Wan, Anakin, Leia etc, they aren't drawing the money (another wrestling term, not saying the show isn't making Disney money, relax). So in wrestling terms, while Andor is putting on the intense in ring match you see in independent wrestling promotions that make respectable money at the gate of a modest size building, Obi-Wan with the stars that are Over are filling major 15-20K seat arenas making the BIG cash. In the end, these are just numbers, if you like something that's all that matters.
Andor is a great, well written, well acted drama, and I'm wondering if it will get an Emmy nominations like the Mandalorian, and if it doesn't it will be a disgrace
its literally because its about a very minor character we already know how they died. other characters we know who died were major characters and basically jedi/sith characters ..a character like Andor, they'd have to find a way for him to have survived if they want big numbers for the show.
“Because it’s about a very minor character” is such a poor description of what the show is ACTUALLY about though. It’s an expansive look at how the Empire suppresses the galaxy and the literal birth of the Rebellion.
The comments. Looks like a ton of people really do need shiny things dangled in front of their faces every five minutes. The writing is so damn good and most people just want to fast forward through most of it.
A lot of people tuned out after the first episode. The political dialogue, people remembering rouge one & the lack of action took a huge chunk of the audience. At the same time the show is building a new mature audience on a FX & AMC level.
its because it doesn't feel like Star Wars. It feel legit like Lord of the Rings in a Star Wars filter and that's the disconnect. I enjoyed the hell out of Tails of the Jedi because it felt like Star Wars I loved Obi Wan because it felt like Star Wars. The feeling of getting taken back to your childhood and that sense awe and wonder that Andor does not have. That why the ratings are reflecting it. Star Wars is like McDonald's. You know what your getting and thats why i went there for it. The people like myself when we watch Star Wars to be sent to somthing familiar from our childhood and this show gives you none of that. If I wanted to watch Game of Thrones I would watch GOT. This is not what most people (as the ratings report) tune into Disney + or Star Wars for.
Same reason more people watched Big Bang Theory vs The Wire. One is a comedy that appeals to the lowest common denominator & the other is a work of art. Cmon John you know this
I heard tales of Jedi did wonderfully from Star Wars Theory. So, interest is there. I think Andor is targeted for adults and this limits your audience. Also, episodes 1 and 2 might have stifled growth. As aside, not everyone likes the same things and that doesn't mean people are dumb and clueless. I am so tired of people criticizing others because they don't enjoy the same things.
Not enough light Saber duels and blaster fights. Audiences suffer more from A.D.D than ever before. Audiences would rather have instant gratification than nuanced build up. Next season should be extremely intense as the rebellion amps up.
@@SeckmanSays I will say I, too, think it is incredible. But I think the experience would have been even more so if I were to binge it. Only one more week dude!
Havent seen it but reading comments, the issue seems to be pacing. And if pacing is lackluster right out of the gate, you absolutely cannot EVER make it a weekly show. You have to drop it all at once. And of course, saturation is an issue NOBODY could have seen coming with Diznee... 🙄 Star Wars or MCU - Diznee is wrecking it all by flooding the airwaves with this TV stuff.
Andor is an example of the psychological study of the ice cream cone theory. First cone satisfying second good 3rd ok 4th meh Fifth I’m getting sick of ice cream. That’s why Lukas took time to release Star Wars movies, plus there was love. Gil Roy and Filoni have that love. Andor is the best Star Wars since rogue one!
It's amazing how close Kris is to getting it, the reason I have a hard time caring about this Andor show IS ALSO because I know how the central character story ends, like the other shows she mentioned, BUT EVEN MORESO having said ending in a movie I and many others feel was overrated. This is why I'm super curious to see how Skeleton Crew does because that's a show that as far as I can tell, not only that it doesn't have the stink of the Disney films on it but it also seems far removed from the core George Lucas film stuff.
Yet John you almost gave up on Rings of Power after the first episode. Both first episodes are a slow burn. And the rest of Andor season 1 is a slow burn.
Problem is Star Wars has historically been a franchise aimed at children. So adults write it off as just being dumb Star Wars and kids get bored because they’re kids and people talking isn’t exciting. It’s too bad because Star Wars has never made anything better than this
Wrong! The adults now are the kids that seen it growing up and fell in love with it. Maybe they're waiting to binge it because they've been let down so much. Word of mouth on the show is great.
I agree Andor is the best SW show on Disney Plus and it’s a show I’ve been waiting for that doesn’t adhere to the family friendly confines of previous SW. That being said, it will not be for everyone. Even hardcore fans may not like it depending on what they like most about SW. SW needs to be diverse though with new types of stories and characters so it doesn’t become stale. As fans get older and new younger fans come onboard, they need to appeal to both. It’s hard to do that in a single movie or TV show like Book of Boba Fett and Obiwan. Mandalorian appealed to both young and old though and was a big hit. I for one like a variety of content from fall award contenders to summer blockbusters. We’ll see what direction they go with The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew.
This is not seeing the forest for the trees. Of course Andor is amazing. It's written well. The performances are award-worthy. I watch every week. That said, it is the least Star Wars thing Star Wars has ever made. The property has a hundred things that are proprietary to Star Wars and the creators have increasingly become "too cute" with their choices. Essentially by forfeiting space battles, lightsabers, Jedi, Sith, a galaxy of aliens and droids -- all they made was a regular sci-fi/fantasy show. It's not that special from everything else out there. No different than putting out a new Indiana Jones, remove the whip and hat. All you did was make National Treasure or Tomb Raider. Which is fine, but people expect Indiana Jones stuff when you tell them it is Indiana Jones. Just trying too hard to be different, that you really only make something generic. At some point we have to stop expecting people to buy into new characters and shooting styles and tones when they simply don't have any emotional attachment to any of those three things. We have way more emotional attachment to the wipe transition and the opening crawl than we do Cassian Andor. Grown adults cried seeing Luke in Mandalorian -- don't underestimate that emotional attachment. That's the only thing that has kept Star Wars relevant for decades -- how the old stuff made us feel.
Lets just remember that which shows are superior is very subjective. Personally I loved Obi-Wan and I liked Boba Fett, but find myself falling asleep by the time Andor finishes.
Also Tales of the Jedi have well balanced drama and action so it’s definitely more digestible for casual viewers, not saying Andor doesn’t have those but structurally it’s understandable that it’s not for everyone, like Dune
@@madtitan0825 I think the Dune comparison is quite apt. They both require a decent amount of attention from the audience to understand what is being shown (because both practiced good amounts of "Show, not tell"). It's something I've noticed when watching things with a lot of my friends, they are watching the show but not paying attention to it, like playing with their phone every now and then or talking or getting up and doing something else real quick. And even if they aren't doing one or more of the above, the rarely come out at the end understanding much of what happened beyond the most obvious. This is anecdotal, obviously, so take it how you will.
@@Big_Red1 exactly, these kind of show or movie have some great details that u can miss if only watch it once, not like missing those would ruin ur experience but as u realize more thoughtful details r included during ur rewatches, u’ll appreciate what they created more
It's because many Star Wars fans want pew pew and space wizards, but if pew pew and space wizards show not good, then they hate on it. If a show comes a long with no pew pew, but has memorable characters, is very well-made, and has a mature approach to storytelling, they will still not want to pay attention to it because it no have pew pew. And yet they complain about bad shows when an excellent one is just right under their noses. Because now pew pew. It comes off as very spoiled.
What memorable characters??? The Mandalorian was a memorable character. What is memorable about Cassian Andor? They literally made a show about one of the most boring ass characters in the SW universe. And you simpletons wonder why most of the audience isn't that interested. Yea it's well written, it's well directed and well-acted. But where is the appeal? why should more people care about this story if I'm asking? None of you bozos can't seem to answer that. Oh, and this show had enough pew pew as well so stop with the fallacies.
@@akashicrecords9672 kinda embarassing to straight up admit that you'll look over good writing, directing and acting if there isn't enough star wars bullshit to keep your kid brain entertained.
That's the same lightsaber style extending stick that he had back when he first visited Andor. I don't think most people noticed it in the third episode. It may actually be a lightsaber hilt but he even used it as a walking stick at points.
I imagine it'll get much better numbers on Hulu, as it's sort of been the hub for more mature programming in the House of Mouse. I think it'll do better with a Hulu audience than a Disney audience. As John has said many times, it feels a lot more like an HBO show than a Disney show.
We can all agree that it is absolutely brilliant and deserves every award imaginable. However, this show doesn’t resonate with casual fans, younger people, and children. There are some very heavy themes and I know so many families that aren’t watching this one as a unit, but rather the parents watch it when the kids go to bed. For example with casual fans; I said it was really cool how a secondary character like Mon Mothma has been given this show to stand out from amongst the characters we all know and love. My contemporaries at work have no idea who that character is, but they all loved Obi-Wan and Boba Fett (as did I, I guess my standards aren’t as high lol).
Now I don't care about the fate of any of these characters... except one. B2EMO had better find a good home with a compassionate human companion or I'm done.
There are 3 reasons why I feel andor is struggling for viewership. 1. Disney plus shows, star wars and marvel, have just been so bad this year quality wise some people have no faith in platform. 2. Its a prequel series that debuted the same time as 2 other huge prequel series. 3. Andor is the name of the show so fans know he lives so they feel stakes arent going to be there.
4 - slow start with no promise of payoff. Lots of good shows dont pull numbers in the first season. Breaking bad was nearly cancelled until it BLEW UP in S3. Think once it ends S2 will do better
It’s called “apathy”. Everybody I know who refuses to watch Andor does so because they’ve given up on Star Wars. Obi-Wan was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The sequel movies were terrible, the Gina Carano debacle alienated many and then Boba Fett and Obi Wan were utter garbage. I guess it’s “fool me 5 times shame on you, then you can’t fool me anymore.”
@@jordizzle253 I am telling them. I really like Andor so far. As much as bad products should be punished by ignoring them, good products should be rewarded. Unfortunately, in this kind of business, that’s not how it works as you first have to watch a show to find out that it’s bad, then you punish the subsequent show by ignoring it. Maybe we should be quicker to abandon a bad show but also be more open to give a new show a chance. Anyway, I’m glad that I gave Andor a chance.
i think the general casual fan base won't give the show a chance unless they either see a character they know or grew up with. Unfortunately Rogue One didn't give the character of Andor a house hold name like Bobba Fett although in my opinion Rogue One is the best Star wars film that has been produced since the Disney purchase. In addition when you think of Star Wars, you think of fast paced action which this is not.
@@lkay398 I agree. I'd love to see something around the Old Republic timeline. Unfortunately I don't have faith in Disney after I saw how badly the botched the sequel trilogy. The new characters they created with those were less than memorable
@@lkay398I feel sorry for those that won’t even be open to watching something as good as Andor. At least the critics and most of those that have watched it have given it high marks(check out Rotten Tomatoes 93/84)
From my experience, I just thought the first three episodes were boring and I stopped watching after that. It's the first canon live-action Star Wars installment that I don't like. And yes, I am one of those supposed idiots who likes the prequel trilogy, flaws and everything.
No legacy characters, no light sabers, more mature themes, no kids, and more a drama.
Yup. Exactly.
When Star Wars eliminates the young audience you lose parents who can't watch it easily and Kids who can't watch it.
Andor has been the best Star Wars content since the first season of The Mandalorian
Also adults don't go to Disney for thought provoking dramas. It's good Andor will be airing on FX
Article: No characters from the OT.
Mon Mothma: Am I a joke to you?
Andor is amazing, it is gritty, tense and it does give respect to all its characters. None of them are there just for the sake of it, they all have purpose. The beauty of the show is that it doesnt depend on light sabers, extensive battles, funny creatures. It has beautiful story, complex characters and amazing actors. Im worried that due to lack of audience this show might not get enough budget to up the ante next season
Andor is made for the hardest of hardcore Star Wars fans. Who've always wanted to see a edgy, more adult version.
Which is a contrast to the family, sci-fi fantasy that appeals to both kids and adults.
@@captainjefferies9047 Who ever said I did?
agree with you Stoner
@@TheaterPup What? Kids can watch more then Disney cartoons and Cocomelon. Give kids a little credit.
To 80% of these comments "well I know they die" everybody dies this is a story about their lives
I thought this was a strange choice for a show when first announced. Now I find myself ready to rewatch this when the season finishes. Can’t wait for season 2!
Just like I did a refresh with the Rogue One movie last week I definitely plan on seeing this season on rewatch.
What makes me most sad is that events like Obi Wan, Boba Fett, and the main sequel trilogy have been done so poorly, yet the best Star Wars out there (Andor, Mandalorian, Rebels, Bad Batch, clone wars) no one outside of hardcore Star Wars fan base cares about.
Andor is the prequel to a prequel sttarring a secondary character. Only the hardcore will watch.
This. I wasn’t even planning on watching but I heard how good it was.
I think this is probably a big reason. No big name to hook people in like Boba Fett and Obi Wan. Mandalorian had the novelty of being the first Star Wars show which was enough of a hook to get people on board, was actually good so people kept coming back, was relatively short so people with low attention spans didn't tune out, and wasn't a particularly complex story so people didn't have to pay too much attention to details. Andor has none of those qualities, in addition to coming after two stinkers, so the general audience just largely tuned it out. This is all my opinion of course.
People like Star Wars for different things. Some like the lightsabers and flashy duels, some like the wacky and cute aliens, some want a fantasy story in space. It's okay if Andor doesn't appeal to every Star Wars fan (even though I love it and hope more Star Wars is made like it).
This is so frustrating because the show is phenomenal
This show isn't made to be watched on a weekly basis. Tried watching the first episode and couldn't finish it. One of the most boring episodes of TV I ever watched.
Weeks later I heard amazing things about episode 6, and I was like "really"?
So I decided to wait and binge. I started yesterday and holy shit. This show is *made* for the binge format. These 3 episode arcs work so well when you can watch them back to back and the pacing is so much better. The "storm" in episode 6 is one of the most visually stunning moments in all of Star Wars.
@@majorlazor5058 Not really. Finished The Crown 5 in a day. Shows with dialogue and high stakes can be amazing, when written well.
@@majorlazor5058 I guess it just depends where one's interest are. I feel the 3 episode structure of Andor would have been perfect as one 85 minute episodes. I'm also really into the High Republic books right now so going back to the Empire can sometimes feel a bit been there done that. But I feel episode 6 and beyond have been top tier Star Wars for me.
I think I heard Mon Mothma clearing her throat at the “features no characters from the original trilogy” statement 😂
The answer is obvious. Disney killed Star Wars and every interest in it.
It’s sad to see that even a good show don’t get a chance anymore.
But it’s Disneys own fault.
But yet the Mandalorian, Obi Wan, and Book of Boba Fett all did well in terms of viewership numbers. There is more going on than just Disney churning out poor Star Wars product because people tuned in for Obi Wan & BoBF.
Andor is a great show on the wrong platform. I think the issue is that it is on a Disney streaming service and a lot of the subscribers are going to be people looking for family entertainment or a straight forward space adventure with their Star Wars, and Andor isn't that. Andor is for a more mature audience. I'd wager viewership numbers for Andor would have been higher if it was on HBO.
Rogue One is based on all war movies, Andor seems based on old spy thrillers
The writers for Andor need to be hired for a KOTOR series.
Rogue One was met with as close to "universal" acclaim as things like this get. The overwhelming majority of fans and critics like - love Rogue One.
i grew up with the original trilogy. back when we had to wait 3 years for the next star wars. and each one was good, memorable entertainment.
This tells me that if there isn't Lightsaber battles and Skywalker family drama then star wars fans don't want to watch it. I enjoyed Rogue One the first time I saw it and still do enjoying it every time I watch it. I am enjoying Andor. Think I'm in the minority here, but that's okay because I'm enjoying myself.
I think Rob is right people expect star wars to be a certain type of genre. I know family that are star wars fans tell me that they dont like this show.
I have been loving all the episodes of andor. Rogue one still remains one of my favourites of the recent star wars movies and it’s been brilliant seeing Diego Luna come back. I hope this show gets picked up for another season I don’t want it to end
It’s a two season series. Already filming the second season which will lead right into Rouge One. All by design. Brilliant!
my guess is that disney from the beginning has been looking at "andor" as an experimental project. they're seeing what the response would be. plus, it's obvious it's targeted for a smaller segment than regular star wars, so i don't think they'd be surprised if the viewership were lower than other star wars shows. the question is: is it lower or higher than their expectation?
People, especially kids, have an attention span of 5 seconds, which is caused by Tik Tok. If nothing happens in 5 seconds they’re out.
The thing that Luthen is carrying is not a lightsaber, it’s a retractable staff that was shown in the third episode of the series.
If it turns out that Luthen is indeed a Jedi, then it makes his willingness to sacrifice people for the greater good all the more chilling.
I wouldn't go as far as saying he's a jedi but he definitely has knowledge of kyber crystals like the one he gave Andor and that's what makes me think he used kyber crystals on his ship.
The Nielsen ratings have been going up for Andor and its only showing the ratings for week 4 of Andor. I think with the positive word of mouth the ratings will only get better and could reach Kenobi numbers by the end of the season.
Andor is better than Star Wars fans deserve honestly. They deserve Rise of Skywalker and Obi-Wan. They have no appreciation for care, or writing, or craft. The show treats them like adults, but most of them are adult children. The show didn’t fail the audience, the audience failed the show.
"They have no appreciation for care, or writing, or craft."
That'll be why TROS has the worst Cinemascore of any live action Star Wars then? Who do you think was watching the movie opening weekend if not Star Wars fans? Sorry, but this 'adult show' is generic sci-fi, badly paced with bland ideas. It's a time period where they can't change anything, and there's no actual innovation or imagination. No, a heist, a prison break and middle management meetings don't count as original ideas. If it wasn't dull, it would have a bigger audience.
Bingo.
1. They’ve tarnished the brand 2. I think people just want story telling in a time period outside of episode 3-4.
It's simple, it needs pew pew explosion and lightsaber fights, not this drama slow paced show
Kind of silly it's not getting more attention. In every single facet of filmmaking it is the best thing ever released on Disney+ and it's not even remotely close. Makes the other Star Wars and MCU projects look like Saturday morning cartoons. The cinematography is excellent, the writing might be the best in any live action Star Wars project ever and the performances from the actors are perfect too.
No jedi and light sabres, no grand space battles or droid shoot outs, no monsters, no cutesy characters, barely any aliens. And lots of dialogue. The kids and casual fans arent watching Andor.
Roque One came out in 2016, 6years ago. Andor wasn’t even the main character in that movie. So trying to explain who he is to a casual fan is hard. Yeah he’s part of the upstart Rebels that get the plans to destroy the Death Star. Next question is which Death Star? ect.
I watched it till episode 6 and honestly only think it’s ok. I love how excited everyone else is. Glad to see everyone enjoying it more than me.
Andor will certainly explode at the end of Rogue One.
It's not "Star Wars". It has a different feel, different tone. John says it himself, "it feels like an HBO show". Now before people think i'm baggin, I'm not. I LOVE Andor. But it people need to realize that it's it's own thing.
And as a side note, I'm SO SICK of people saying "the toxic fan response" to TLJ.. wtf. Lets call it what it was, it was a HATRED for TLJ. Just because "I" thought and MANY MANY MANY like me thought, that TLJ was garbage that tarnished the franchise, that doesn't make me toxic. If YOU liked it, fine, but even those I know that like it, admit it split the fan base
I haven't watched Andor even though Star Wars is my favorite movie experience. I saw A New Hope in the theaters when it first came out. Darth Vader was the best character I had ever seen and remains my favorite character of all time. What I love about Star Wars is seeing Jedi fight the good fight while viewing Vader as my hero. I haven't heard of anything like that from Andor, which is fine. It just doesn't have the themes that made me love movies.
Obi Wan Kenobi is an iconic beloved character for 40 years, as is Darth Vader. Andor doesn’t have that.
Also Andor is intentionally a slower paced, more mature series. That ain’t going to appeal to everyone.
There have been the comments that the six episode Marvel and Star Wars series have had too few episodes, I wonder if part of the issue is Andor, 12 episodes, having 2-3 episodes too many. The number one complaint seems to be the season started slowly, condensing the first six episodes down to four episodes could have solved that issue.
Based on what I’m hearing, I’ll give it a shot. My issues are:
- I’m diving into a character that I know will die.
- Star Wars as a whole had been one letdown after another outside of a few standouts.
I was the same and it is fantastic - By 3rd episode I couldn’t turn it off
Every single Star Wars character dies. This is a story that took place “a long time ago”. Kenobi died in the first film he ever appeared in.
While you know Andor dies and Motha lives, they are only 2 of the leads. The show might be called Andor but it is an ensemble cast show and we don’t know the fates of any of the new characters and those Andor and Motha know and love.
Because sometimes great stories don't get a big audience. Financial success and artistic quality are not always related. From what I've seen this show is better than anything that came out of Star Wars. EVER. That in itself is, however, no guarantee for a huge audience because sadly a lot of people don't go to Star Wars for sophisticated storytelling about the creation of a rebellion. They want evil Sith lords who wear black cloaks and good Jedi who wear white cloaks, dumb space battles and shiny lightsabers and that's it, unfortunately.
I want a good balance of them all. Not one over another. And u hit the nail on the head, financial success and artistic quality aren’t always related. As much as it should be, but it’s not totally the reality. It’s honestly finding that right balance that gets fans and the general audiences to come together. Not choosing one sub group over another.
Look, I've been tuning into every episode, and while the espionage and political drama is well done - it's just not enough. Like Jaden Korr said, there needs to be a balance. Yes, we need those cool space battles and shiny lightsabers every now and then. Because that is in the D.N.A. of Star Wars.
@@OneGaurdian Is it? That's a pretty small galaxy then...here I was thinking you could tell all kinds of stories set in that universe but I guess you have to have jedi and lightsabers in there at some point. Just goes to show how creatively restricted storytellers are with Star Wars.
@@darrel7589 The other shows aim much lower and are full of nonsense that makes no sense compared to this show so....nice try but you ain't convincing. The stories of those other shows are rather laughable and there never seems to be a need to tell those stories other than to milk the cashcow. Those other shows also have acting that is not just wonky but downright silly compared to the acting on this show.
@@Regenmacher175 Look, when it comes down to it all franchises have their "special ingredients". per say. Harry Potter has Hogwarts and magic. Marvel and DC have superheroes. Bond has espionage and beautiful ladies. Star Trek has Starfleet and the Federation. Would you expect any of them to abandon those elements?
Star Wars has the Force, the fight between good and evil. I'm not saying it can't expand into other areas, like Andor has. The problem is it went into this hardcore. Those first few episodes were a slow burn, and it almost felt like the writers were taste testing stories to tell. Also, for a show that was marketing as being about one specific character's journey in the Rebellion it's kind of been trying to be an ensemble sort of thing. Anytime this show started losing me was when it started going too long without him, because I have actually been enjoying his journey here. Everything else: some hits and misses.
The number one reason is because we already knows what happens
And we didn't with Obi-Wan? Andor is immense, by far the best Star Wars show produced to date.
@@keltoi8916 I prefer the Mandalorian
I couldn’t make it pass the first two episodes, but reading comments I’ll give it a second go see what I’m missing
i just did mate, i was doing a crossword while getting through the second and the third it actually picks up. they should have conjoined the first two episodes into one and cut out a lot of crap. it would be better. im looking forward to watching the rest
Am I the only one here who thinks that Mon Mothma's a hottie? Never gave her a second glance in the original movies.
Hands down some of the best....
It's really good, but I think it's way too slow and heavy on adult dialog of politics, economy and espionage. The typical Star Wars fan will probably be bored and kids will not like it at all. I really like it. But I do think it's very slow and serious. It's cool that they are putting out different styles and tones for different audiences.
Since the first episode he's been in, Luthen been carrying this extending walking stick that looks like a light saber. Go back and check his first entrance to Ferrix (episode 2?).
This isn't rocket science. Obi Wan and, Fett, Mando either have longer connections with the Fandom or recognizable characters.
Does this need to be questioned? He's a newer star wars character from a spin off film.
this isn't for everyone sadly. the pacing is slow, but that's important. but after ep3, it didn't slow down for me anymore. the first 2 are the slowest. some people can't take the pacing, some people can't take that its not "star wars". and sadly there is truth to those statements. but this is an amazing show regardless and i hope people see the beauty of this show.
lastly, everytime i have a bad day or i feel bad, i read shit takes from some of the comments here and immediately i feel better.
John the thing Luthen holds was in ep three it’s a retractable staff/baton
I've been talking about this on RUclips and social media for months. This may shock some of you but this fan community bubble we all partake in isn't even close to the general audience numbers outside of it. If you go by the community you'd think Obi-Wan was a despised tv series. When in reality it was loved by many casual fans who don't engage in this community. There's that & to compare this to pro wrestling, being "Over", is the most important thing in that business. What that means is the fans one way or the other incite a reaction from you & it's the people that make you FEEL that make the money. Like it or not very few people cared about the characters in Rogue One therefore care even less about the characters that inhabit Andor. While I did like Rogue One that was my biggest gripe with the movie that outside of Andor & K2SO (I feel they really dropped the ball on the main character Jyn Erso), I don't care about anybody in this movie. Say what you want about the sequel trilogy, people cared about Rey, Finn, Poe & Kylo Ren.
Andor is a fantastic series and something very different than what we've seen in Star Wars. It's a show many of us in the community are loving but since these characters aren't "Over" like Obi-Wan, Anakin, Leia etc, they aren't drawing the money (another wrestling term, not saying the show isn't making Disney money, relax). So in wrestling terms, while Andor is putting on the intense in ring match you see in independent wrestling promotions that make respectable money at the gate of a modest size building, Obi-Wan with the stars that are Over are filling major 15-20K seat arenas making the BIG cash. In the end, these are just numbers, if you like something that's all that matters.
Andor is a great, well written, well acted drama, and I'm wondering if it will get an Emmy nominations like the Mandalorian, and if it doesn't it will be a disgrace
Does it really matter? It’s helping expand the audience and it’s a fantastic show.
It definitely hasn't spawned as much memes as the other Star Wars shows.
its literally because its about a very minor character we already know how they died. other characters we know who died were major characters and basically jedi/sith characters ..a character like Andor, they'd have to find a way for him to have survived if they want big numbers for the show.
“Because it’s about a very minor character” is such a poor description of what the show is ACTUALLY about though. It’s an expansive look at how the Empire suppresses the galaxy and the literal birth of the Rebellion.
The comments. Looks like a ton of people really do need shiny things dangled in front of their faces every five minutes. The writing is so damn good and most people just want to fast forward through most of it.
A lot of people tuned out after the first episode. The political dialogue, people remembering rouge one & the lack of action took a huge chunk of the audience. At the same time the show is building a new mature audience on a FX & AMC level.
its because it doesn't feel like Star Wars. It feel legit like Lord of the Rings in a Star Wars filter and that's the disconnect. I enjoyed the hell out of Tails of the Jedi because it felt like Star Wars I loved Obi Wan because it felt like Star Wars. The feeling of getting taken back to your childhood and that sense awe and wonder that Andor does not have. That why the ratings are reflecting it. Star Wars is like McDonald's. You know what your getting and thats why i went there for it. The people like myself when we watch Star Wars to be sent to somthing familiar from our childhood and this show gives you none of that. If I wanted to watch Game of Thrones I would watch GOT. This is not what most people (as the ratings report) tune into Disney + or Star Wars for.
Same reason more people watched Big Bang Theory vs The Wire. One is a comedy that appeals to the lowest common denominator & the other is a work of art. Cmon John you know this
I had to tell some of my friends to watch Andor, several times - because Disney didn't treat Star Wars well and my friends had no more interest in it.
I heard tales of Jedi did wonderfully from Star Wars Theory. So, interest is there. I think Andor is targeted for adults and this limits your audience. Also, episodes 1 and 2 might have stifled growth. As aside, not everyone likes the same things and that doesn't mean people are dumb and clueless. I am so tired of people criticizing others because they don't enjoy the same things.
I'm not going to criticize it but I saw only the first four episodes and I just fell out. Maybe I'll come back when all the episodes are available
It’s his retractable cane. He had it in episode 3 of the show
I love andor. Would like to see a Luthen show
honestly. andor, like in rogue one isnt the strongest (written) character. even in his own titular show, he is outshined by luthen.
Not enough light Saber duels and blaster fights. Audiences suffer more from A.D.D than ever before. Audiences would rather have instant gratification than nuanced build up. Next season should be extremely intense as the rebellion amps up.
I'm at the point where I wait for shows to finish, sub 1 month, binge. I'm sure it's good, just saving some money.
It’s fantastic just give it some time
@@oXRaptorzXo can't wait!
@@SeckmanSays I will say I, too, think it is incredible. But I think the experience would have been even more so if I were to binge it. Only one more week dude!
@@Big_Red1 that's great to hear! The character of Andor never enticed me in Rogue One, but I'm hoping the show changes that.
Havent seen it but reading comments, the issue seems to be pacing. And if pacing is lackluster right out of the gate, you absolutely cannot EVER make it a weekly show. You have to drop it all at once.
And of course, saturation is an issue NOBODY could have seen coming with Diznee... 🙄 Star Wars or MCU - Diznee is wrecking it all by flooding the airwaves with this TV stuff.
Andor is an example of the psychological study of the ice cream cone theory. First cone satisfying second good 3rd ok 4th meh Fifth I’m getting sick of ice cream. That’s why Lukas took time to release Star Wars movies, plus there was love. Gil Roy and Filoni have that love. Andor is the best Star Wars since rogue one!
But yet no one is watching it you guys are gonna learn how important Jedi and sith are to the franchise one way or the other
Rob is 💯 percent right waiting till weekend after Thanksgiving to watch it all
Its just amazing.
It's amazing how close Kris is to getting it, the reason I have a hard time caring about this Andor show IS ALSO because I know how the central character story ends, like the other shows she mentioned, BUT EVEN MORESO having said ending in a movie I and many others feel was overrated. This is why I'm super curious to see how Skeleton Crew does because that's a show that as far as I can tell, not only that it doesn't have the stink of the Disney films on it but it also seems far removed from the core George Lucas film stuff.
@@majorlazor5058 false equivalency, IMO Rogue One is an overrated spin off, the original trilogy IS Star Wars
@@majorlazor5058 I literally just did, you just don't accept my opinion
Yet John you almost gave up on Rings of Power after the first episode. Both first episodes are a slow burn. And the rest of Andor season 1 is a slow burn.
Problem is Star Wars has historically been a franchise aimed at children. So adults write it off as just being dumb Star Wars and kids get bored because they’re kids and people talking isn’t exciting. It’s too bad because Star Wars has never made anything better than this
Wrong! The adults now are the kids that seen it growing up and fell in love with it. Maybe they're waiting to binge it because they've been let down so much. Word of mouth on the show is great.
I agree Andor is the best SW show on Disney Plus and it’s a show I’ve been waiting for that doesn’t adhere to the family friendly confines of previous SW. That being said, it will not be for everyone. Even hardcore fans may not like it depending on what they like most about SW. SW needs to be diverse though with new types of stories and characters so it doesn’t become stale. As fans get older and new younger fans come onboard, they need to appeal to both. It’s hard to do that in a single movie or TV show like Book of Boba Fett and Obiwan. Mandalorian appealed to both young and old though and was a big hit. I for one like a variety of content from fall award contenders to summer blockbusters. We’ll see what direction they go with The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew.
I love "Andor" so much! THANKS for this commentary!
This is not seeing the forest for the trees. Of course Andor is amazing. It's written well. The performances are award-worthy. I watch every week. That said, it is the least Star Wars thing Star Wars has ever made. The property has a hundred things that are proprietary to Star Wars and the creators have increasingly become "too cute" with their choices. Essentially by forfeiting space battles, lightsabers, Jedi, Sith, a galaxy of aliens and droids -- all they made was a regular sci-fi/fantasy show. It's not that special from everything else out there. No different than putting out a new Indiana Jones, remove the whip and hat. All you did was make National Treasure or Tomb Raider. Which is fine, but people expect Indiana Jones stuff when you tell them it is Indiana Jones. Just trying too hard to be different, that you really only make something generic. At some point we have to stop expecting people to buy into new characters and shooting styles and tones when they simply don't have any emotional attachment to any of those three things. We have way more emotional attachment to the wipe transition and the opening crawl than we do Cassian Andor. Grown adults cried seeing Luke in Mandalorian -- don't underestimate that emotional attachment. That's the only thing that has kept Star Wars relevant for decades -- how the old stuff made us feel.
Lets just remember that which shows are superior is very subjective. Personally I loved Obi-Wan and I liked Boba Fett, but find myself falling asleep by the time Andor finishes.
Same. I've had to wake up the next day and rewind some episodes to finish them. Every second episode in each 3 episode arc is VERY slow.
Tales of the Jedi is doing better than Andor but then again kids probably watched that one.
Also Tales of the Jedi have well balanced drama and action so it’s definitely more digestible for casual viewers, not saying Andor doesn’t have those but structurally it’s understandable that it’s not for everyone, like Dune
@@madtitan0825 that’s an excellent point.
@@madtitan0825 I think the Dune comparison is quite apt. They both require a decent amount of attention from the audience to understand what is being shown (because both practiced good amounts of "Show, not tell"). It's something I've noticed when watching things with a lot of my friends, they are watching the show but not paying attention to it, like playing with their phone every now and then or talking or getting up and doing something else real quick. And even if they aren't doing one or more of the above, the rarely come out at the end understanding much of what happened beyond the most obvious. This is anecdotal, obviously, so take it how you will.
@@Big_Red1 exactly, these kind of show or movie have some great details that u can miss if only watch it once, not like missing those would ruin ur experience but as u realize more thoughtful details r included during ur rewatches, u’ll appreciate what they created more
It's because many Star Wars fans want pew pew and space wizards, but if pew pew and space wizards show not good, then they hate on it. If a show comes a long with no pew pew, but has memorable characters, is very well-made, and has a mature approach to storytelling, they will still not want to pay attention to it because it no have pew pew. And yet they complain about bad shows when an excellent one is just right under their noses. Because now pew pew.
It comes off as very spoiled.
What memorable characters??? The Mandalorian was a memorable character. What is memorable about Cassian Andor? They literally made a show about one of the most boring ass characters in the SW universe. And you simpletons wonder why most of the audience isn't that interested. Yea it's well written, it's well directed and well-acted. But where is the appeal? why should more people care about this story if I'm asking?
None of you bozos can't seem to answer that.
Oh, and this show had enough pew pew as well so stop with the fallacies.
@@akashicrecords9672 kinda embarassing to straight up admit that you'll look over good writing, directing and acting if there isn't enough star wars bullshit to keep your kid brain entertained.
Andor is how Star Wars felt in the 80s before the prequels. It is from the Empire Strikes Back universe.
Big ups to Rob for namedropping Melville’s Army of Shadows 👏
It's not a lightsaber, it's his retractable cane.
Its a telescopic walking stick, we have seen it already in the first arc on ferrix.
Andor Is like having a harry potter spinoff with no-magic users
Tbh I’m not watching I’m still hurt by the movies that could have been AMAZING
Same
@@davidconlon7698 I’ll re watch clone wars instead lol
@@kingnate101 rather re watch a new hope tbh
That's the same lightsaber style extending stick that he had back when he first visited Andor. I don't think most people noticed it in the third episode. It may actually be a lightsaber hilt but he even used it as a walking stick at points.
8:16 Well said, Rob! 👏
I imagine it'll get much better numbers on Hulu, as it's sort of been the hub for more mature programming in the House of Mouse. I think it'll do better with a Hulu audience than a Disney audience. As John has said many times, it feels a lot more like an HBO show than a Disney show.
We can all agree that it is absolutely brilliant and deserves every award imaginable.
However, this show doesn’t resonate with casual fans, younger people, and children. There are some very heavy themes and I know so many families that aren’t watching this one as a unit, but rather the parents watch it when the kids go to bed.
For example with casual fans; I said it was really cool how a secondary character like Mon Mothma has been given this show to stand out from amongst the characters we all know and love. My contemporaries at work have no idea who that character is, but they all loved Obi-Wan and Boba Fett (as did I, I guess my standards aren’t as high lol).
Now I don't care about the fate of any of these characters... except one. B2EMO had better find a good home with a compassionate human companion or I'm done.
There are 3 reasons why I feel andor is struggling for viewership.
1. Disney plus shows, star wars and marvel, have just been so bad this year quality wise some people have no faith in platform.
2. Its a prequel series that debuted the same time as 2 other huge prequel series.
3. Andor is the name of the show so fans know he lives so they feel stakes arent going to be there.
4 - slow start with no promise of payoff. Lots of good shows dont pull numbers in the first season. Breaking bad was nearly cancelled until it BLEW UP in S3. Think once it ends S2 will do better
Love and Support ANDOR!
It’s called “apathy”. Everybody I know who refuses to watch Andor does so because they’ve given up on Star Wars. Obi-Wan was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
The sequel movies were terrible, the Gina Carano debacle alienated many and then Boba Fett and Obi Wan were utter garbage.
I guess it’s “fool me 5 times shame on you, then you can’t fool me anymore.”
Nailed it. The show is great tho! Tell people.
@@jordizzle253 I am telling them. I really like Andor so far. As much as bad products should be punished by ignoring them, good products should be rewarded.
Unfortunately, in this kind of business, that’s not how it works as you first have to watch a show to find out that it’s bad, then you punish the subsequent show by ignoring it.
Maybe we should be quicker to abandon a bad show but also be more open to give a new show a chance.
Anyway, I’m glad that I gave Andor a chance.
Lol the gina carano “thing” didnt affect nothing, nobody cared, it wasn’t a “debacle”. Just a dumb actress getting fired.
@@Lucas-cz5to you must live under a rock
i think the general casual fan base won't give the show a chance unless they either see a character they know or grew up with. Unfortunately Rogue One didn't give the character of Andor a house hold name like Bobba Fett although in my opinion Rogue One is the best Star wars film that has been produced since the Disney purchase. In addition when you think of Star Wars, you think of fast paced action which this is not.
@@lkay398 I agree. I'd love to see something around the Old Republic timeline. Unfortunately I don't have faith in Disney after I saw how badly the botched the sequel trilogy. The new characters they created with those were less than memorable
@@lkay398I feel sorry for those that won’t even be open to watching something as good as Andor. At least the critics and most of those that have watched it have given it high marks(check out Rotten Tomatoes 93/84)
@@lkay398 I understand. I do hope you give it an honest try and I hope it adds to your SW enjoyment. Peace out.
From my experience, I just thought the first three episodes were boring and I stopped watching after that. It's the first canon live-action Star Wars installment that I don't like. And yes, I am one of those supposed idiots who likes the prequel trilogy, flaws and everything.
@@majorlazor5058 Yeah, I know. But I still like watching them.
They should have had a more exciting opening first episode to grab viewers. It took me weeks to start the second episode.
It’s because it doesn’t have mass appeal like Jedi and the force. That’s just how it is even if it is better
I just want enough people to watch it for it to be renewed for another season lol
It was greenlight ages before this came out
It looked like a telescope, but it's clearly precious to him, so it's gotta be more than that
