Online Series: Star Wars Andor on D+

Just finished. I'd say this or the first arc of season 1 are the weakest arcs for me. This probably being my least favorite. It was still pretty good but it didn't have the same suspense, keep me on the edge, type feelings I had with the first season 1 arc.

The rebel group stuff was pretty meh. Felt very marvel esque with bad humor put into what could've been a good serious scene. Glad to be done with that group.

Mon Mothma actress nails it per usual. Her scenes never have any action in that sense, but are always so well done.

I enjoyed the farm stuff. I'd die for Bee. The first arc of season 1 I also struggled to get into initially but once it picked up a bit I enjoyed it a lot more. Although I don't know if I'd enjoy this arc nearly as much as that one on a rewatch.

I'm not sure if I have this in a post anywhere, but I've been saying to some friends that Dedra is going to be Andor's sister, Kerri. Different eye color and hair but that's not difficult to change in the Star Wars universe. Drives home the humanization of the villains theme. Her confirming she has no family has me really high on this theory.

A lot of people don't like Syril but I actually enjoy his character. The scenes with his mom always kill me.

Overall, I'd call this first arc good but not great. I think it'll only get better from here though and I can't wait to see more.
According to people who've seen the whole season, episode 5 is when the season really takes off.
 
Have you been in carbonite or are you just always fashionably late? :wg:

You should be stripped of your username immediately.
I read something that said it comes out after May 4 which I thought was weird.

Just binged all three.

It was OK to start. I mean the worst of Andor is still better than virtually all other Disney Star Wars. The Rebels in fighting was conceptually a strong concept but it was held back by some weak acting from some of the Rebels and the plotline ultimately feeling like giving Andor something to do while the other storylines play out. I feel like I need to continue rewatching S1 and rewatch these episodes cause everything involving Mon Mothma can be hard to follow. Overall it was decent. But the first arc of season 1 was kind of whatever too

This aligns almost identical with my view. Narkina 5 and Aldahni were historical good cinema/tv, not just star wars. If any of the arcs hit that level, I'll be really impressed. Reviews are good, so fingers crossed!
