I do love the tone and direction of Andor vs reg feel good SWs. It is how Nolans darker Batman re-booted and expanded the batmans before it. it gives the overall SW universe another viewpoint.

View Quote It really should be part of a horrifying weapon, just for narrative's sake. The work they're forcing people to do is ideal for droids. It'd be especially evil to have people building the weapons that enslave them, just because they can. I won't be surprised when Cassian discovers those things are part of something personally tragic, probably on Ferrix. |

I have to marvel at the genius of Palpatine.
Palpatine simultaneously turned the galaxy against the Jedi and divided the people of the galaxy so deeply through the Clone Wars that he completely orchestrated that he almost insured no rebellion of any significance could form. "The Plan," as Darth Maul calls it in Clone Wars, was pretty much flawless, but you'd expect it to be since it was the produce of a thousand years of careful maneuvers by the Sith. If you have not read the Star War book Dark Plageuis, I highly recommend you get the Audio Book. Palpatine is pure evil, but you have to be in awe of his genius. I like that Andor is paying respect to that genius and the Empire competence, because to have a good protagonist you absolutely need a highly dangerous antagonist. |

View Quote Palpatine is the end of 1000 years of manipulations that may or may not be Bane ressurrected/passed on through new hosts. Palpatine was handed the keys to something that just needed some extra persuasion/manipulating. The creation of the rule of two and the end goal being reached only by the strengths of the master being passed on should the apprentice be strong enough. There were once thousands of Sith and thousands of Jedi. It took one Sith to realize how watered down the force was if powere was to be shared by many... The way Andor is being done gives some hope that a dark side focused DARK plotting Sith series could be done and done well. Something that stretches so far back that what little Yoda knows of the dark side was passed down to him because it predates when he was born. How it could then be woven in to the mandalorian lore is something that would take some actual vision and goddamn talent. This possibility and the thought of the above is what Star Wars fans nerdgasm over and yet we get shit like "like a bantha" with Boba Fett. Andor is definitely an "in the right direction" attempt. |

If an argument fails when brought to its logical extremes, the original argument as a whole fails.
Collective rights do not exist. A true right cannot infringe on the rights of others, and a collective right by definition does so. |
