Some of the best acting I've ever seen.
I think this series is going to really enhance the ending of "Rogue One," because now when Andor dies on that beach it's not just him dying in a sense it's every single unsung hero that sacrificed everything to destroy the Empire dying on that beach. I think it's great too how the "Force" is basically guiding Andor every step of the way. The "Force" is "Destiny." Again and again Andor is exposed to these incredibly good people doing whatever is necessary for victory and its shaping him into exactly what he needs to be in order to be that catalyst for bring about real balance to the Force once again. In so many ways the Force isn't just with Luke Skywalker it's with all these people guiding them. This keeps to the central mystical tenant of the Force in a very realistic fashion. I love "The Mandalorian", it's a great series and really fit for the whole family. However, I also love "Andor" and I hope we see more of this adult mature level Star Wars in the future. I'm holding out hope, probably in vain, that "The Acolyte" will be on this level. |

And as "dark Star Wars" goes, Mandalore's history is filled with opportunity there. Hopefully Disney will keep these crews working on this kind of content instead of the ones who pumped out that drivel known as the sequels. |

She was already unhappy about paying him, clearly unhappy to even be in the same room. Though, I do agree I think she'll end up doing it. It fits with the central theme of sacrifice. |

The link to telling the rise of The Rule of Two can be introduced by revealing more of Mandalore and properly world building. Introducing the 3rd party view point of the Sith and the Jedi can be hugely fascinating if done right. That opens the door to people becoming fascinated with the lesser of two evils as it relates to the force. Then they get interested in the Rule of Two. But only if it is given this Andor level of attention to detail. |

Dude wants her daughter to get with his son and that disgusts her for both the act and the slimy banker family involvement. He's a snake and angling for influence. He's a sketchy banker trying to get a connection to a wealthy, powerful politician. A hookup between their kids serves no purpose there. Having them emotionally attached does, hence an "introduction" as opposed to an arranged marriage. She doesn't want her daughter to have anything to do with his son, but as was said above, she was considering it, and he knew it. He'll get what he wants. And I don't think Disney will cross that line. A PG rated adolescent romance is in their wheelhouse. |

I don't know what they did but the blasters in this show have some serious oomph to them both in the sound department and when they hit their target. A couple guys in the prison break were hit in the thigh or otherwise non critical areas, didn't matter, they were toast.
I'm glad the Imperials are being depicted as competent with their weapons as well. It adds to the actual sense of danger and risk, rather than having Imperials and Storm Troopers basically serve as comic foils. I never liked feeling like I had to believe that the Empire established military supremacy across thousands of star systems by being a bunch of ineffectual dweebs. The entire prison setting was frankly terrifying in the way it was depicted as bleak and minimalist as possible, relying almost entirely on psychological effect to keep the prisoners in line. |

With nothing to lose, it's a practical matter of fighting their way out. Remove the obstacle (guard) immediately in your path, and move onto the next. And the next.

Where he hesitated to fire on Ashoka telling her to get 5’s (then shooting), or him getting knocked out and the chip removed by the droid. Screenrant covers it somewhat well.I think I’m remembering that right. |

ETA: Born from the idea of how much resources it would take to make something like that and what they were constructing. Maybe they used the planet up in the making of it. |

Definitely worth watching. Basically, if a clone had a functional chip in their head, they 100% had blood lust for the Jedi. See how fast Cody turned on Obi Wan. Rex had has removed during the end of TCW series. Ahsoka aided in its removal. But he was right. Rex initially resisted it, telling her to look into Fives and Tup. Yes https://y.yarn.co/300906b5-1e67-4950-8fbc-401adb16c9c0_text.gif Yes, but Fives could only resist it for like less than a minute before he was full on Order 66. |

I know this isn't right but I like to think that the odd number floors put the pieces together and the even number floors just take them back apart.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Naporter: Yeah, Mandalorian has been so badass he invaded Boba's show. And as "dark Star Wars" goes, Mandalore's history is filled with opportunity there. Hopefully Disney will keep these crews working on this kind of content instead of the ones who pumped out that drivel known as the sequels. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Naporter: Originally Posted By KaerMorhenResident: Some of the best acting I've ever seen. I think this series is going to really enhance the ending of "Rogue One," because now when Andor dies on that beach it's not just him dying in a sense it's every single unsung hero that sacrificed everything to destroy the Empire dying on that beach. I think it's great too how the "Force" is basically guiding Andor every step of the way. The "Force" is "Destiny." Again and again Andor is exposed to these incredibly good people doing whatever is necessary for victory and its shaping him into exactly what he needs to be in order to be that catalyst for bring about real balance to the Force once again. In so many ways the Force isn't just with Luke Skywalker it's with all these people guiding them. This keeps to the central mystical tenant of the Force in a very realistic fashion. I love "The Mandalorian", it's a great series and really fit for the whole family. However, I also love "Andor" and I hope we see more of this adult mature level Star Wars in the future. I'm holding out hope, probably in vain, that "The Acolyte" will be on this level. Yeah, Mandalorian has been so badass he invaded Boba's show. And as "dark Star Wars" goes, Mandalore's history is filled with opportunity there. Hopefully Disney will keep these crews working on this kind of content instead of the ones who pumped out that drivel known as the sequels. Agreed, but I do think that Disney will try and keep "The Mandalorian" to a show with broad appeal across age ranges so that children can enjoy it. I mean let's be honest Andor isn't exactly exciting for children to watch and I do like that Star Wars is still family friendly. The one that bothers me about Andor is the introduction of homosexuality into the Star War galaxy, because I do think that Star Wars still needs to be a very family friendly show even if they are going dark with it. However, I will give Andor some credit, because it hasn't had to use nudity or swearing and it's so damn good you don't even notice that and it yet it is still very "mature." It kind of reminds me of how Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was great, but it only ever implied sex had no nudity and no swearing. Great stuff can be made without having to pander or go cheap with game of thrones level of nudity or lots of swearing. Sounds corny, but to me as someone who as a child grew up with Star Wars its really important that future generations of children can do the same. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By von_landstuhl: My thoughts, too. Something like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pxcuwYOXL.jpg Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By von_landstuhl: Originally Posted By mancat: Originally Posted By AR-1904: If what they were making in prison were Death Star parts, Director Krennic is going to be piiised when he finds out about it. Yep I called it earlier in the thread. Structural ties for the framework of a large spherical object. The DS would likely require thousands if not millions of such parts. My thoughts, too. Something like this: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pxcuwYOXL.jpg Exactly. Plus the security of that place, the fact that nobody there was every going to see freedom again makes it ideal to construct parts for the Death Star in secret. It was a brilliant set too, they only had to build the one room and just say "every floor looks exactly the same" and you believe it because it's a soulless prison so it worked while also making their set budget less expensive. |
