Andor (2022)
A Couple Years Later...
I almost never review anything. Usually I allow other people to make up their own minds and try not to influence their decisions. This needs to be an exception.
With the recent debut of Star Wars: The Acolyte we need to address this as a community. We don't need more garbage like that. Andor stands out as a unique phenomenon in comparison to the shows around it. It's well written, it's intriguing and it builds on the success of Rogue One in all the best ways. I never thought I needed to know more about Cassian Andor before the show but I gave it a chance and was rewarded with a show that respects my intelligence, entertains me and keeps me guessing. In short, it's everything that the rest of Disney Star Wars is just completely failing at.
So years later I come back to give this show the review it's owed. We didn't know how good we had it with this show and it did not get enough credit. Disney, give us more like this show with good writing, interesting characters, meaningful moments that are actually set up and earned.
I wish I could give Andor more than 10 stars and the Acolyte less than 1 star.
Andor is the only Star Wars show I can currently say is good without any disclaimers. Mandalorian? Amazing first season, mediocre second season, boring 3rd season. Kenobi? Maybe one or two good moments between Obi Wan and Vader, maybe a couple scenes with interesting visuals. The rest makes no sense. Ahsoka? Felt like a Rebels fan fic with a few interesting scenes, answered some cliffhangers and it was nice to see Thrawn actually in the live action universe. Boba Fett? Just plain boring with unnecessary flashy edgy things thrown in... if you know you know. Andor is the one Disney Star Wars live action anything, movie or show, that I have 0 complaints about.
