Online Series: Star Wars Andor on D+

[Sad People]

I'm a sucker for almost everything Mandalore related due to Clone Wars and Rebels so I quite liked Mando season 3 as well. I think Andor was missing one key aspect of Star Wars: a multitude of alien races. Seemed like everyone was a human in the show. Acolyte and Skeleton Crew covered that aspect well, so they felt more like happening in the Star Wars universe, especially the latter.

I do agree Andor was missing aliens. This reminded me of the YTer losing his damn mind because there were bricks in the show. lol

I as well enjoyed S3 of Mando more than the average person. Id also rate it pretty close to Andor, maybe even above it. I really like Bo Katan again one of my favorite characters in SWs because of Rebels and the Clone Wars. Jango was my favorite toon in SWs growing up lol Love Mandalorians.

The first 3 episodes of Season 1 are now free on YouTube and the whole season is on Hulu until April 22nd (the day Season 2 premieres).



Also, I was wrong in guessing that Tony Gilroy wanted Season 2 to be released in 3 episode chunks each week. Apparently, it was all Disney's decision.

I don't think the release schedule was the discussion but rather the season format of episode chapters with each chapter spanning a year. I haven't seen/heard of such a discussion anywhere. I think releasing three episodes a week follows Netflix's Arcane. I personally felt that each chapter in season 1 started reaaaaally slow which might have hurt the viewership and I think 3 episodes a week will help in that.

The format of every 3 episodes representing a year would've been determined when the series was written, about 2 years ago. Gilroy is saying here that he heard about the release schedule after they finalized the show in November, and he jokes that 3 episodes per week will be tough on the podcasters covering the show, so he's definitely saying that that decision was Disney's.

[Interviewer:] It's exciting. This season has a different release model, as well. Was that something that was planned as the series was being developed and shot for the season, or something that came together organically once the season was finished?

GILROY: We heard about that as we finished. We finished the show in November. We finaled the show in November, so we really had to wait for Skeleton Crew. It's a Disney decision. There's an internal logic behind it. They have their reasons. It's kind of cool. I mean, it puts a burden on podcasters. What are they going to do? It's a movie a week, you know?
