ANDOR SEASON 2

[stuck flicker]

if only the more interesting characters in SW could be written like that.

[swift cedar]

Finished the show

What a show, man

Andor is absolutely my favorite tv show of all time

Season 2 gets a 9.6/10
would be a 10 just going off the second half, but the first half wasn’t quite as strong

[night merlin]

Can we have a rogue 1 watch party for all andor viewers i really wanna watch it and kinda discuss it with the new light

[stuck flicker]

Rogue one's pace is pretty rushed compared to the series.

[livid wolf]

You have any particular characters in mind ?

[stuck flicker]

Nah. its impossible to convince anyone that anyone is more interesting than Andor in SW. at this point.

Personally, i'd like to see the Mandalorian Wars done like Andor. Revan. Malak. The Exile. Canderous Ordo.

[swift cedar]

I have a feeling that they’re going to use James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi movie as a jumping off point for old republic stuff

[stuck flicker]

and it will suck, because Andor exists. quite unfortunately.

[swift cedar]

??? What 😭

One thing being insanely good doesn’t make everything else bad

That’s not how it works

[stuck flicker]

but it makes them worse, and most people think worse=bad.

not me, but yah.

[swift cedar]

Something can be “worse than andor” and still be a masterpiece

[stuck flicker]

Of course.

but people want that standard.

and not getting it will result in low ratings.

[undone schooner]

Thats just how stuff happens yeah

When an IP makes something excellent but then the rest falls short in the eyes of someone, they may naturally feel disappointed

Im not necessarily like that(loved acolyte even tho its obviously inferior to Andor imo) but still
Nothing new

[novel tree]

Rogue one works amazingly well right after andor. The frantic pace feels…fitting actually. As each of those rumors are confirmed and time is against them

Literally just cut out the silly tentacle monster and the movie is stellar as an andor finale

[swift cedar]

I don’t get the hate for the tentacle monster

[wheat pike]

I like Andor but I'd hesitate calling it a masterpiece, so obviously anything below is by definition, not a masterpiece

[swift cedar]

Why is it not a masterpiece?

[wheat pike]

I can still see clear influence from things that we're already familiar with, and it is largely effective because of those. Not to say that this makes it any less good, just that it'd dilute the phrase masterpiece if we choose to use it for everything that is good, instead of everything that is pushing boundaries

[unique echo]

masterpiece!

[night merlin]

do you think its a masterpiese

honestly i forgot andor dies, and after watching rogue one yesterday the show becomes even more gut renching

people made real sacrifices for the rebelliion

this show made star wars richer than most content so far

that's coming from someone who had perviously thought that would be the animated world. But this adds things to the world of star wars with a unique experience too.

Imagine someone thinks of watching star wars in chronological order and they watch revenge of the sith andor+ rogue one and then the new hope imagine that feeling

[novel tree]

Andor, what it sets out to flesh out and how it is executed..is a masterpiece yes.

So..Ive seen people throwing around the idea of starting a new veiwer eith andor, rouge one, and THEN the og

Honestly..i bet that would he pretty baller, have a real hatred for the empire and be in for s left turn with the jedi / force

[night merlin]

question, rebels comes after andor right?

chronologically speaking cause, mon was already part of the rebellion in the show

or is it simultaneous

with rogue one

[novel tree]

Dont know, didnt watch rebels.

Seen clips, but still hate the art style and the more kiddy tone

Especially after loving andor..I cant go back. I want more like this

[night merlin]

wasn't my question but ok

[night merlin]

My only suspicion on lucasfilm now is, instead of being inspired by this series, the creatives will constantly attempt at replicating the features in this show, like how they did the the whole filler episode in coruscant in mandalorian season 3. Instead of looking at the way gilroy and his creatives were thinking, they could start copying sequences. the only factor that's keeping my excitement for star wars upcoming development.

[unique echo]

someone will have a more mapped out and defined answer if you google

they occur moreso at the same time rather than after one or the other because what comes after andor is rogue one

[stuck flicker]

bit before i think.

between bad batch and andor

if you want kiddy star wars, go watch sw resistance. that shit is insulting.

or the young jedi series

[swift cedar]

andor s1
rebels s1
andor s2 arc 1
rebels s2
andor s2 arc 2
rebels s3
andor s2 arc 3
rebels s4
andor s2 arc 4

i believe that's the order

[night merlin]

It can't be side by side though cause andor only got Mon Mothma in the rebellion for the final 3 episodes. Rogue one could be side by side

[undone schooner]

That finale went so hard ffs

[frozen cosmos]

Yo

Cant wait for cassian and bee to be reunited 😎😎

On the thrid e rn

[undone schooner]

Goddamn, watching Rogue One after finishing this show hit DIFFERENT
I loved the film already but I love it more now

[livid wolf]

Same

[frozen cosmos]

NOOO BRASSO

[frozen cosmos]

yeet

[frozen cosmos]

i should do gthat as well once finish s2

[tacit sentinel]

I finally finished Andor, now where do I go to read all the takes that are ancient by now?

[frozen cosmos]

andor sub reddit i guess?

episode discussion threads( thats if you like to sort stuff by controversial )

[livid wolf]

There are tons of Andor related podcasts as well

[tacit sentinel]

I'm at the Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith, which is always good

[livid wolf]

I know about that

[tacit sentinel]

I should probably check out decoding tv since I listen to both the filmcast and remap radio

[livid wolf]

https://youtu.be/mGBXFWvPRsE?si=vexpdvh1BLL8s5Iw

Here's one

[warm osprey]

Sheesh didn’t realize we were getting Andor in real life

[stuck flicker]

I can't solve the math...

[warm osprey]

Apparently the empire is running amuck causing chaos for marginalized civilians of a planet

[stuck flicker]

Its not that. Its just that they say nobody hates star wars like starwars fans. But Gilroy hates star wars a heck of alot and he isnt a fan. so i dont know what to conclude.

[warm osprey]

Why does Gilroy hate starwars?

[stuck flicker]

not his thing, sci-fi in general, i think.

[warm osprey]

then why he did starwars 😭?

[stuck flicker]

disney money

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4009FETfkMw

[warm osprey]

Fair, tho that’s from 2018, maybe his mind changed and now he loves starwars and sci-fi ?🤷🏾‍♂️— ppls view do change over the year ( id argue they should change over the years).

I’d couldn’t imagine being in a position where I hate something but have to work on it.

[stuck flicker]

eh. so i guess if you want something done right, hire a guy who doesent give a shit about your fandom. kinda counterintuitive.

[warm osprey]

right but didn’t this fellow just create/direct… some of the more well received (from critics and fans alike) movies/tv shows to come out of starwars?

[stuck flicker]

he made a war series and slapped sw on it. i'd like it better if it were about WW2.

[warm osprey]

But isn’t that what Star Wars lowkey has been about?

|| https://www.newsweek.com/does-star-wars-endorse-political-republican-democrat-498365 ||

[warm osprey]

Not necessarily just ww2 but Vietnam as well

[stuck flicker]

yah but it had additionnal things, the things i like about sw. Lightsabers, the Force and tense dogfights.

[warm osprey]

Right and Disney is still doing that, didn’t you see the new tv show they released. It had asaaj ventrAss and cad peak in it

https://tenor.com/view/bye-im-out-adios-goodbye-leave-gif-22020799

Cad bane

[stuck flicker]

strangely, i like Cad's bit more than Ventress.

i liked Tales of the underworld.

when Luke came back in Mando, i cried i was so happy. That's the post-rotj luke i wanted to see. Sequels did him rotten.

[swift cedar]

Another day, another dumb Morpho take about Andor

[stuck flicker]

days seem to last longer where you live. been awhile since i said anything, for one.

for two, having a different opinion isnt stupidity, its humanity. 8 billion people, 8 billion takes.

Why is "I dont like Andor because it aint Star Wars to me." such a bad take anyways.

Other than everyone else likes it.

[swift cedar]

because it is star wars

if it's an official star wars production, it is star wars

[tacit sentinel]

The thing I've read post-Andor about Andor that I like the most is what Gilroy said about playing with the toys in the toybox and leaving with more toys in it than there were when he started to play

and Andor really does that. When Andor ends there are literally dozens of new story threads and ideas and other things that could be spun off into making Star Wars a bigger and cooler place

meanwhile something like Kenobi or Ahsoka only seem to shrink the size of the toybox

Like at the end of Andor I really liked that there were things were I went "I wonder what happened to x". Meanwhile watching Kenobi it's all "okay so apparenly y is what happened to z and it sucks that I no longer get to wonder" :P

[granite dagger]

Denise Gough(Dedra Meero) was the voice of Yennefer in Witcher 3. Who knew

https://youtube.com/shorts/YvDhrxJ0_n4?si=hPI5j3_wie7QNAOT

[stuck flicker]

To me, it isnt.

Its something closer to maybe World on Fire.

[tacit sentinel]

that's why star wars is for everyone

because it's all star wars, even the stuff someone might not like

[stuck flicker]

fair enough. Gott admit its very different from what came before.

in SW. and not just because its good.

[tacit sentinel]

all the good star wars stuff has been different from what came before

[stuck flicker]

Different from other SW stuff I mean.

[tacit sentinel]

That's what I meant too

[frozen cosmos]

ya it is

hence i am just gonna watch the shows. sorry 7-9 and more upcoming movies i am good

ANDOR scores its first top spot in Nielsen streaming ratings, thanks to a strong second season and 3 at a time episode release strategy. A rare win for Disney+ in the streaming ratings game…..

X · Jun 12, 2025, 8:54 PM

Didn't think so many people watched the show

[warm osprey]

Same I was under the impression that it was underperforming in terms of views.

Either way it’s good it’s doing well. Hopefully more people watch it and understand what the show is about.

[livid wolf]

Totally

[stuck flicker]

So I guess action is detrimental to ratings seeing as none of the top 5 is action heavy.

[warm osprey]

Idk man, Bluey is quite violent

[stuck flicker]

pff

[livid wolf]

I don't think you can really say that, there are a lot of factors involved.

[stuck flicker]

I guess not, but it remains a tempting conclusion.

[livid wolf]

The most important thing I believe is the story though, I love action but action without good story isn't gonna be popular much.

[frozen cosmos]

it really made tons of new SW fans too apparently and rightfully . its that good

liego duna is and was solid in narcos mexico , rouge1 and now andor. hopefully he gets cast in more big productions

[swift cedar]

Liego Duna? 😭

[frozen cosmos]

OOPS! lol. i meant diego LUNA SMH lmaoo. i AM NOT GOOD At remembering actors names

[swift cedar]

😭

[runic granite]

Morph, your takes are actually dog shit

You’re making the same argument, weeks later

It’s actually annoying.

[stuck flicker]

And yo're still calling names on people who didnt. Be respectful.

[stuck flicker]

I agree with that. Andor has a good story, i mean....creation of the rebel alliance is a good subject.

Totally deserved

[vapid pebble]

andor sweep is coming

[livid wolf]

Hope so..definitely deserves it

Crazy that Diego luna wasn't nominated though

[vapid pebble]

WHAT

[swift cedar]

um... i only counted 2... not 14...

[stuck flicker]

bourne movies better.

[swift cedar]

what the fuck does that have to do with this

[stuck flicker]

spy thrillers.

[undone schooner]

Wtf

[sonic igloo]

Andor my beloved, I miss you so much

Nothing ever will come close to what you did 🙏🏼🧎

[stuck flicker]

I hope not.

[frozen cosmos]

not relate dto andor...

[warm osprey]

Disney and ABC execs musta forgot to watch this show eh?

[frozen cosmos]

lol ye

[frozen cosmos]

as much i wanted them to , they werent gonna win the major ones anyways, compared to the tough competition they had

[warm osprey]

Those movies are spy thrillers with tinge of politics, this is more a political thriller?

[stuck flicker]

which is a wierd, like making action movies outta Star Trek.

[swift cedar]

No?

[stuck flicker]

in my opinion.

just cuz a show did well doesent mean i'm obligated to worship it.

[runic granite]

Morpho, we get it you don’t like this film because it doesn’t show you flashy lasers and Lightsaber fights move on please your take isn’t good

You made the same argument over and over and over and over and over again and that’s fine but it’s kinda annoying seeing the same argument, be made over and over again

[stuck flicker]

I dont like it because its quite against type, like a Marvel movie without violence.

But hey, you want me to stop, i stop.
