Beautiful and true. What we got was a whole trilogy of superb Star Wars movies in one series. And PROPER Star Wars at that. It's easily the greatest Star Wars of all time.
9:50 I love the uninspiring speech the guy gives to his troops, because the words themselves are actually good, the mediocrity comes solely from his performance of them, his uncertainty, and he played that *so* well.
A lot about his character was scarily accurate to some of the young officers I served under. Educated and ambitious, but without any kind of leadership experience. The way his speech fell completely flat gave me serious flashbacks.
About half way through this episode is when I started getting invested in this show. And then episode 3 happened and I was like, wow. This show is what I've been waiting so long for.
You can definitely see why they released the first three episodes on the same day, it takes a while to really get going, but once it does the show turns into something amazing
@@Souledex 💯 A story about real people navigating against a tyrannical ruling force with the backdrop of outer space. Just give us compelling stories and great special effects!
@@timothybrown5999 a story about politics. And that to fight fascist injustice requires violence, sometimes machiavellian unjust violence. It’s hard to have the heroes journey, and feelgood action alongside earnest political commentary and have anyone hear the commentary. They are good too, especially for kids, but when the world is grey and the heroes are white, they don’t really get credit for being heroes. Beyond that invalidates most of their Daoist, and Buddhist rhetoric where “balance” actually means “no darkness”, Shang Chi was a better star wars movie on that metric. Frankly I’dve liked to have seen more of the other factions too, maybe we get that next season. Just for a long time all of the most interesting contributions Star Wars actually had to sci fantasy and cool characters have been EU stuff people don’t know about. Besides the special effects (it’s always funny when people complain about CGI v Practical when pioneering CGI is the only reason anyone cared about Star Wars) the OT just normalized common prexisting tropes, and didn’t ask difficult questions - like the Ewoks are supposed to be the VietCong, people definitely don’t see that message today. The Prequels had cool ideas and terrible dialogue and no ability to drive the narrative through, far right folks would find a way to not hear it like always but the rest of us don’t have to be blind (like they cut Mon Mothma’s scenes from the third one). Sequels could have been relevant commentary when they came out, the artbook and the storyboard got that, even when the producers and JJ didn’t- just look at Templin Institute’s retelling of the world, about how fascism evolves and in an effort to regain normalcy we allow them to gain power and their ideological form shifts. People only understand what is possible and appropriate because of their media- it has far more effect than people like to assume. When we have erased and whitewashed so much of our history of resistance, unity and violence and replaced it with the heroes who asked nicely (who the powerful only compromised with because others didn’t) people forget what had been well understood in the 2000 years before that, and without churches, or unions, or clubs, or time they have no other place to hear it. Our stories are our heritage, are heroes are our truth, and stories like The Boys, and The Batman, that interrogate that relationship to political violence, corruption and institutionalization of immoral power and the dangers in fighting it the right or wrong way will change the way younger people talk about their issues.
10:07 As someone serving active duty, this scene gave me big “junior commissioned officer gives safety brief before the weekend and the E7+ that advises him comforts him” vibes
I would’ve said an overeager corporal or newly promoted E5. Someone willing to go along with the machinations of a butter bar without asking any of the important questions like, “does higher know about this?”
Trying to troubleshoot a faulty piece of equipment in a 90 degree space for 40 straight hours with no sleep - and then your new divisional officer pops in, wide awake after a full night's sleep, with a clean shave and freshly showered, to give a motivational we-can-do-it speech.
@@jazzx251 for me A new Hope will always be number 1 because it made me fall in love and 2 would be Empire because it made a diehard fan. 3 is at the moment Andor.
@@foxawan that's fair foxy I choose Andor as no.1 because it is made in such a way that makes me feel like I did as a kid watching amazing classic BBC Sci-fi series "Blakes 7" Blake was a rebel leader who was captured, and had his mind wiped by the Terran Federaton [the opening credits of every episode show this happening in animated form - almost like what happened to Bix with the headphones] .... he was then discredited by being given a show-trial for sexual child abuse, for which he was found Guilty .. and sentenced to Life on penal colony Cygnus Alpha That was episode 1 --- and we LOVED it as children ... we would play at Blakes 7 in the playground endlessly.. Goodies v Baddies, as children do. That's why I KNOW, that kids would love this show. The world-building and suspense would fuel their imaginations, just like in Blakes 7.- a supposedly "adult" show (on BBC1 at 7:30pm - primetime ..).
@@jazzx251 exactly. Andor is just what has been missing from a lot of things lately in fantasy movies. A slow burn story. It doesn't move around aimlessly or try to provide uplifting gags to lightening the mood. I saw an interview with Tony Gilroy, the man literally thought of every small details and how as a viewer he wanted them to feel at those moments.
The guy you keep referring to as Fat Bastard is Alex Ferns. Ben around since the 90's as a character actor. Just recently really started to get noticed. If you've seen the miniseries Cherynobyl, he had a break out performance as the leader of the Soviet miners. And the dudes not fat, he's a freaking cube.
10:20 Stellan Skarsgård, swedish actor, Father to 5 sons who act, most known are Alexander Skarsgård who played Tarzan, also in True Blood and Bill Skarsgård who played the clown in IT.
Couldn’t agree more. The intro, albeit on the slow side, was a great way to get used to this corner of the universe, the 4-6 arc was tense and thrilling throughout, 7-10 was grueling and emotional, and 11+12 was a finale so good that I couldn’t believe they stuck the landing for the season
It’s real funny, after episode 10 I remember a bunch of reactors thought it was the season finale. And they were all satisfied, but more excited that there were still 2 more episodes left!
This show is incredible. The writing is so good! As you watch longer the question of what is right and what are you willing to do for the right thing. They run in groups of 3 essentially, every 3rd episode is were you get the pay off.
When you wondered who Syril (the Primo security guy) looked like... to me he looks like Kyle MacLachlan of Twin Peaks and Dune (1984) fame, among many other things.
So glad you guys have started with this series, it’s my favourite Star Wars since ROTS. Would highly suggest watching in arcs though, it’ll help with the slow pacing as they’re each like mini movies.
Jen mouthing Holden’s full name is the best one yet lol. Then her face after Holden’s “what are you talking about?” Is also just gold. And that’s Paulina Novacek!!! If y’all haven’t seen Undercover Blues…Fiona Shaw, Stanley Tucci, Dennis Quaid, Kathleen Turner…nuff said.
They sucked! ... Are they seriously copyright?? Because anyone watching this video would come away thinking that these awful sound effects were part of the show! The least they could do is put a note at the bottom of the screen "not actual sound effects"
@@jazzx251 if you're watching this you've probably already watched the show. Also it was very obviously edited. No idiot would think it was the real sound especially when they changed it each time
@@Quinten_Shibusawa No. Like these folks, I was VERY late to the party. Because I would have thought that this Star Wars sucked. If you asked me a few weeks ago whether I wanted to watch "Star Wars: Andor" on Disney + ... I would have telt you to go away in no uncertain terms. Especially, if the footage you showed me, was of swanee whistles and ridiculous , perfectly placed, sound effects ,,, Of course, we BOTH know that this show is utterly brilliant in music, sound design, visual effects, the lot ... But to a newcomer, wanting to know what this fuss is about - they are presented, here, with silly sound effects, and left with the wrong impression. We privileged few who got to watch this show, sonically unadulterated, - a revolution in Star Wars - KNOW the quality that it showed, even demanded ... A beautiful story - the best in all of Star Wars, and science fiction in general ... ... and yet, here I am trying to defend it from making sure that non-existent terrible sound-effects don't put off people seeing this utter masterpiece!
It's interesting how when you watch this show, you have to have a completely different mindset since it doesn't have the characters tell you everything they're doing like porn dialog in other Star Wars shows. It's like it's a visual medium or something.
I am pretty sure the first 3 eps were released together, I think the intent was to watch them at the same time. That way it didn’t seem so slow to start.
This show is a perfect contrast to The Mandalorian. The Mandalorian is your popcorn flick with lots of action. While Andor is more of an HBO or Breaking Bad type show. Both have their place and while I enjoy Andor more, I am glad to have both because they are great.
It’s true episodes 1-2, 4-5, & 8-9 are slow but it takes getting through them to get to the great endings of the arc’s in episodes 3, 6, & 10 there so good.
Stella s son are good actors the oldest played a Vampire in True Blood also played Tarzan opposite Margot Robbie , the younger played the evil clown in IT
well, they showed footage to people there, but they did not announce it there. We already knew before even Andor S1 was even released that it will have exactly 2 seasons which will lead directly to Rogue One, and now we know that S2 will also be in 3 episode arcs and every arc is one year
It was only by an accident of scheduling around other events that Disney released the first three episodes at once, but it was the luckiest accident they could have had. It would have been very a disaster if reviewers had had to wait weeks from the first to the third episode.
0:23 "There are a couple different storylines" Oh you don't even know the half of it. Andor's finale hits so hard because there are like 5 different story lines that all converge on Ferrix and it truly is one of the greatest scenes ever put to screen!
when Luke Skywalker asks Han Solo to provide a ship for hyperspace travel. His answer, about $10,000 credits, prompts Luke to reply that he could buy a new ship with that, so how much was an Imperial credit? If the comparison is made on the basis of the cost of a new yacht or ship, which is around $500,000 or $700,000, the conversion would give us an approximate $60 - $70 per imperial credit. XD
5:09 “All these Star Wars planets are industrial.” SW, while being a Fantasy rather than Sci-Fi, is considered a dystopian world. An opposite comparison would be Star Trek which is Sci-Fi utopian.
That private security guy Syril just screams useless butter bar to me. All polish, no experience. The sergeant is fairly typical for the guy they get to manage a brand new officer. Experienced and good at what he does, steers the butter bar around, making suggestions for what should be the next step and keeping his confidence up. They always stick the least experienced officer with the most experienced NCO where possible, and this entire thing screams of an inexperienced officer and his sergeant going off plan without orders, and it's about to go FUBAR.
Agreed that this show starts off slow. I’m not even a huge Star Wars fan so I forced myself to watch it and I’m glad I did. I might be biased because a certain actor who I’m a massive fan of shows up later but I absolutely loved this show. Shit gets real
Yeah , Andor is a slow burn. The arcs are 3 episodes each there's a lot of world building and the stakes are high. It's ugly and gritty and the heroes will fight as dirty as the empire. This is definitely Star Wars for adults.
Wow, you have a very different impression of that investigating officer than I got… to me he seemed like someone trying to claim to be out for doing the “right thing”, but he actually seemed to me to be motivated largely by ego… both an idea of “how dare some low class scum mess with my company” and “he thinks he can get away from me?! I’ll show him!” He’s really the one character on the show I can’t stand at all. At any rate, interesting reaction! Looking forward to the rest. 👍
That's why I adore him as a character. I really can't say what he's doing next. His obsession with finding Cassian and with you know who later also borders on psycho and I can't wait to see where they take him in S2.
I don't like the character. But I find him to be an interesting character. Ultimately he is a petty bureaucrat with a bent for authoritarianism serving an Empire that grinds all but the very elite as grist for its mechanisms. Yet he is no mustache-twirling do-evil-for-evil Bad Guy. He has arguably noble intentions - or at least, they can sound noble. But like his lackluster speech... with all the right words but ultimately a flat delivery in service of a questionable goal... those noble intention fall flat. Watch who he inspires. Who he ignores. What facts he gloms on to and which he glazes over without consideration. Who treats him in what ways. He can be a sympathetic character. But ultimately - no hero (at least not yet... as for where his story is going to go... who can say).

Andors arcs are like an expanding rubberband. You can feel the tension building and building until it finally snaps and all hell breaks loose.
Exactly
that's a good way of putting it..... yeh the story and character arcs are great in this. :)
Perfect way to put it, when the rubber band breaks, it breaks big time 😂

It takes a few episodes to really get going, but this is by FAR the best Star Wars live action show. By FAR.
Andor is the best Star Wars content to date.
Really love all those practical effects, like the bus that landed with Luthen you can tell that was real probably a crane put the thing down.
Also Syril and his chubby friend is the best duo of the show. 😂
Andor is now in my top 3 starwars content. Just so so good.
It's in my top 1 Starwars:
1. Andor
2. A New Hope
3. Rogue One
4. The Empire Strikes Back
5. Return of the Jedi
Best new Star Wars content since empire strikes back.

The woman who plays Andors mother is Fiona shaw who played aunt petunia in Harry Potter
Killing Eve, as well.
I was so excited to listen to those pealing drums again so when you guys kept editing goofy sounds over it I could t help laughing every time. XD

Can’t wait for them to discover that strict and powerful milf

The whole series is one giant crescendo and it’s so good.
Oh boy, I can't wait to hear their comments on Syril and Dedra's scenes. 😅
The initial facial expressions will be good as well.
@@Mimeniia Jen's faces will definitely be great. 😅

Probably the most satisfying way to both watch and react is in arcs which mostly are three episodes.
This is my favorite Star Wars project. It’s so so so so good
Cassian’s mom played the role of a life time as King Koopa’s mean gf in the original Mario Bros movie (an absolute classic, fight me).
Don’t forget that she is also Aunt Petunia from Harry Potter.
As a black man growing up n Baltimore In the 80's & my experience with police..man..episode 6-through finale..seems so familiar & hits home
And may the Baltimore PD never gain access to electrified floors
Yeah, I'm interested to see if they still root for Syril after next episode when he shows the "boot on neck" side of his personality.
It’s definitely a slow burn, but it is absolutely incredible!!! This is the best SW content I’ve ever seen, barring EP IV V & VI.

*"Bootstrap Bill Turner"* 😂🤣
Awesome thumbnail btw! cant wait for Episode 3 reactions :)
When Andor first released, Disney released the first 3 episodes at once, so they must thought it’s started slow also. 😂
It was also delayed a few weeks so I think they were trying to make up for the postponement
Oh he was mowing the grass alright. Beating the bush, if you know what I mean.
....trimming the verge?
Yeh Andor is a great series.... just started Mandalorian Season 3 now too, which is going well. :)
Mr. Blueberry the actor was in the new batman movie. He was the new mayor that was in front of the building as batman watched on.
Syril Karn is, definitively, a tool-box. I love it. He's a great villain that you absolutely love to hate!

it's a shame the arcs weren't watched all at once but it's still such a great show
They're wearing the same clothes as ep 1 so I imagine they just stopped to give thoughts before and after each episode.
This will be good. Keep up this series 😊
I am pretty sure the first 3 eps were released together, I think the intent was to watch them at the same time. That way it didn’t seem so slow to start.

She was in Harry Potter, Killing Eve amongst other shows
Skarsgård' s sons are Floki from Vikings, Pennywise from IT, and Iceman from Generation Kill
This is how you build tension and characters
It’s true episodes 1-2, 4-5, & 8-9 are slow but it takes getting through them to get to the great endings of the arc’s in episodes 3, 6, & 10 there so good.
This is the 1st adult Star Wars content. We’ll written and great characters.
A brother having the hots for his sister could not be more Star Wars.
🏃🏽
How did they miss that they are siblings??
Stella s son are good actors the oldest played a Vampire in True Blood also played Tarzan opposite Margot Robbie , the younger played the evil clown in IT
Also ahsoka trailer is out. Recommend finish up rebels first before watching it.
He reminds me of the party down parks and rek Derek from step brothers
If read comments: your reaction to this show is perfect timing. Todays Star Wars showcase announced Andor s2.
well, they showed footage to people there, but they did not announce it there. We already knew before even Andor S1 was even released that it will have exactly 2 seasons which will lead directly to Rogue One, and now we know that S2 will also be in 3 episode arcs and every arc is one year
It runs on an arc system, normally 1 or 2 slower episodes, by which I mean no fight scenes, and then the 3rd is the big pay off
Holden loves mowing
They released the first 3 episodes at the same time, I imagine they wanted to binge them as one big intro to the series
It was only by an accident of scheduling around other events that Disney released the first three episodes at once, but it was the luckiest accident they could have had. It would have been very a disaster if reviewers had had to wait weeks from the first to the third episode.
It's nice to finally see Scottish people be able to use their real accent in a large project without having to change it.

Once again: if you think being slow is a bad thing, this is not the show for you. The slowness is the whole reason the show is good!
I hate to think how you'd react to an actual slow-build show like Better Call Saul.
All the planets are industrial. As they look at a primeval planet with hunter gatherer people.

holy shit i never got that connection with her playing aunt petunia i knew she was familiar!
B2emo my love 💜💜
I will not have you slander Mosk's name. Dude is a good man, in service of a bad cause.
Holy crap, I didn’t realize that was Aunt Petunia! Never seen her in anything else
6:13 this question will come up again lol
“Going to get intense”
Hahahaha!…ah, sorry…yeah…it gets more intense.
Going to be fun watching you watch these….
Agreed that this show starts off slow. I’m not even a huge Star Wars fan so I forced myself to watch it and I’m glad I did. I might be biased because a certain actor who I’m a massive fan of shows up later but I absolutely loved this show. Shit gets real
Bruh that’s Aunt Petunia 😱😱
Where are episode 10-14 season 2 and episode 4-9 season 3 for rebels on patreon? Theyre not there
@@DavosOfHouseSeaworth ok. Thanks
syirl reminds me of kyle mccallonin spelling sorry from twin peaks old show...andor is a great series enjoy
Its only going to get better.
Do you know if you're going to upload your Rebels reaction here on RUclips?
Yeah , Andor is a slow burn. The arcs are 3 episodes each there's a lot of world building and the stakes are high. It's ugly and gritty and the heroes will fight as dirty as the empire. This is definitely Star Wars for adults.
Cassian's mom is Harry Potter's aunt?
Yea, its the same actress
Where does B2EMO rank on the scale of Star Wars cute droids?
I'm not so sure about the cute part but he does seem very sad/lonely which is an interesting trait for a droid in Star Wars.
@@cthulhucollector Poor guy was destined for sadness with that name
Any reason why yall never watched/reacted to Eternals? its the only thing missing from yalls MCU run.
Bix is beautiful. I love the mom
Holden where’d you get your shirt from? *insert shut up and take my money fry Futurama meme here*
x-files? thats like 20-30 years? that kid probably is an adult now.
WHAT? That’s petunia Dursley??? How did I not recognize her
Fiona Shaw Aunt Patunia from Harry Potter.
*your previews are very prettier!!!*
Wow, you have a very different impression of that investigating officer than I got… to me he seemed like someone trying to claim to be out for doing the “right thing”, but he actually seemed to me to be motivated largely by ego… both an idea of “how dare some low class scum mess with my company” and “he thinks he can get away from me?! I’ll show him!” He’s really the one character on the show I can’t stand at all.
At any rate, interesting reaction! Looking forward to the rest. 👍
Yeah he comes across as very idealistic until reality kicks him in the nuts
They'll see soon enough
That's why I adore him as a character. I really can't say what he's doing next. His obsession with finding Cassian and with you know who later also borders on psycho and I can't wait to see where they take him in S2.
I don't like the character. But I find him to be an interesting character.
Ultimately he is a petty bureaucrat with a bent for authoritarianism serving an Empire that grinds all but the very elite as grist for its mechanisms. Yet he is no mustache-twirling do-evil-for-evil Bad Guy. He has arguably noble intentions - or at least, they can sound noble. But like his lackluster speech... with all the right words but ultimately a flat delivery in service of a questionable goal... those noble intention fall flat.
Watch who he inspires. Who he ignores. What facts he gloms on to and which he glazes over without consideration. Who treats him in what ways.
He can be a sympathetic character. But ultimately - no hero (at least not yet... as for where his story is going to go... who can say).
