This series has been phenomenal. Start was just a bit slow, but it keeps getting better and better.
I do have to say, I’m glad it’s only gonna be two seasons. We know Andor dies sooner rather than later, so it’s good to wrap it up instead of dragging it along. I do have to say, I’m struggling with the Space AKs. I get it no changes to the Lewis Gun or MG34/42, at least the Sterlings were slightly modded. But to me, the AK is too ubiquitous and it doesn’t fit. |

Excited for tomorrow's (tonight's) episode.

So far i like it. and Rogue 1 was a damn good movie. !

Another fantastic episode. The writing and acting is just so good. Why can’t all Star Wars be this good?
Also, Mon Mothma is bangin’!! |

Space Miami looks pretty nice, other than the cops being hardasses.

Hopefully they handle the capture and reprogramming of K2 equally as well. |

Can you imagine the buildup for Rogue One if the series came before it?
Its a bit of a drag knowing Cassian's future. Great nonetheless. |

Enjoyable episode, very discussion worthy.
How is Cassian escaping space Miami jail? |

Another solid episode. I love action and blasters and all, but damn if I don’t enjoy seeing some of the more mundane ‘behind the scenes’ stuff too.

He also made a brief appearance in Rebels as head of the ISB, which makes me wonder if Agent Kallus would also make an appearance. It's before his being stranded on that Geonosian moon, so he'd be just as cruel as the rest of the space gestapo and makes for a decent villain. |

There are two types of people who comment on this...
True Star Wars fans who wanted to see the Empire day to day without a Jedi on every street corner, who love seeing the inner workings of the Imperial government/security services, who are enjoying seeing the beginning of the Rebellion. Smoothbrains who want explosions and titties or they say "I got bored and turned it off". |
