Viewer Question:
Mr. Pink Don’t Tip - Hey guys. I’m up late and I’m just through the first 2 episodes of Andor and I’m floored! I never expected a Star Wars show to feel like this does. It’s incredible and I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I actually think it’s better than Mandalorian. Now that all of you have had a chance to watch it, what do you guys think of it so far? Thanks!

I like this show for the same reason I love The Clone Wars cartoon. Yes it is a prequel and we know the end but it adds so much depth to events and characters it makes already created content better
Exactly. I never let the fact that I know how a character or story in general will ultimately end dampen my enthusiasm if what I'm watching is really engaging. If anything it can make it better if the story is told well & you're really invested in the character
I found myself saying, “I love this show”, just after finishing Ep. 2. It gives me BladeRunner vibes in a way, which I like.
The final scene of episode 3 has more sentiment than the entire sequel trilogy. What a great show!!!
The Ferrix set was almost all practical, was the biggest set I’ve been on by a long way, shops down ever corner, bars, hotels! It was sick, we had over 300 extras every day
Yup, and it looked it... so much better and more realistic than Tatooine in Boba Fett
A Star Wars story about the normal people living under the regime of the Empire is as grounded as it gets. No Jedis. No SIth. No bounty hunters. No non sense.
I think its funny how some people find this type of storytelling sluggish. I feel sorry for those people.
Finally a good Star Wars show.
ANDOR WAS FUCKING AWESOME
This is the best 'Star Wars' property since inception of Star Wars. Loved every moment of it.
Clone Wars.
I loved the new direction they're taking in Andor, it feels really tense and real which has been missing from Star wars lately. Can't wait for more!
OMG, I think this show is amazing. The characters, the dialog (it's mature, not cheesy, realistic), the set production (most immersive star wars in a while)... BUT the best thing for me... the music! What the he'll the music is so cool in this!
And I wasn't planning on watching this show considering the rest of Disney content. But this is fantastic.
I am really enjoying it so far! I can’t wait for more episodes.
What I love about this show is that it is a reminder that Star Wars can be a setting for deeper thought-provoking stories. As John said, the galaxy is vast, and expanding it by showing a darker slice of life in a new part of the galaxy is exactly what I wanted. Can’t wait for more.
If you've seen Rogue One and understand the story line leading into it, then you should not be surprised at Andor. Yes Rogue One had a lot of action but it also had a lot of dialogue building up to the action. Love the show so far and the pace building up to a bigger plot.
I was hoping for dialogue in Obi Wan & we got “i cant help you… if you want my help you got it”
@@juanjaramillo9390 Agreed mate. Obi Wan suffered badly because of the bizarre choice in character focus (Show only focussed like 50% on Obi Wan), poor dialogue and a script which felt filler half the time. And please let's not mention the Leia chase scene
Loving Rogue One doesn’t equal loving Andor. This show definitely has potential though, and I’m interested in seeing how it unfolds.
It's like a delicious soup of Star Wars, Blade Runner and Heat.
This is the only thing on Disney+ that I have enjoyed since Mandalorian. This is a show that can be built on. Give fans other stories outside the Jedi/Vader. Expand with different characters. The possibilities are endless. Keep these writers.
Same bro, hopefully they wake up and see what people actually want.
No doubt this is turning out to be amazing so far! The normal man is getting the spotlight and the lines between good and evil are getting blurred.
Episode 3 was 9/10. I GOT GOOSEBUMPS. it was crazy
"We've never seen why the empire is evil in star wars" in the first 30 minutes we see a whole planet destroyed, a princess captured and sentient beings sold into slavery but whatever.
That's the What, not the Why.
The original trilogy doesn't give much context on why the majority of the galaxy would side with the empire in the beginning. Also, despite the obvious reasons, you don't get to really know how the rebellion came to be. Luke didn't create the rebellion, he joined it.
💎
@@crimsonghoul8983 there typically isn’t much of a choice when it comes to joining an EMPIRE.
@@benhs1898 True, but it also didn't give people much of a reason to rebel. The attitude was "Let sleeping dogs lie."
Rogue one has always been my favorite movie in recent years. This just validates my love for these writers
Amazing how many people love Rogue One, but can’t spell it right…
Andor is Star Wars for adults. It has no fan service, no force users, no fun family adventure for the kids and a little slower paced. I like it because it more mature in themes and acting and is a much girt. I get it if the hardcore Star Wars nerds don't like the show because all they want is fan service, nostalgia, Skywalker in everything and gratuitous light-saber fights. Andor is how Star Wars is going stay relevant for the next 10 years because nostalgia is like cat nip to Star Wars nerds but it is killing the franchise with a broader audience. There is a reason why Disney don't feel comfortable releasing a movie and is cancelling film Star Wars films projects because they are worried the franchise has become too niche and doesn't have a broad enough audience. They mess this up by not making Finn the lead Jedi that would have broaden the audience so much for Star Wars and they chickened out. There isn't enough mainstream interest in Star Wars anymore to sustain a big budget Stars Wars movies. They are stuck on Disney Plus.
@@ChildOfTheWilderness You are being very selective with your information. Of course the force awakens did well when it was the first Star Wars movie in over 40 years with the original cast. But box office has been rapidly declining ever since to where Solo was a massive flop and Disney put an end to Star Wars as a movie franchise. Star Wars fans always talk up Mandalorian as the biggest show in the world because it delivers in fan service, but the show isn’t even in the top 5 most watched shows on Disney plus and the other Star Wars shows have been mediocre and not doing well in terms of viewers. When Disney are cancelling all the announced movie projects for Star Wars that tells you it is a dying franchise and you hardcore nerds cannot accept the truth.
Totally agree with John here, I was thinking it felt like a HBO type GOT, great characters and dialogue, great at building suspense, this is what Book of Boba should have been
In Andor...with that dark tone. The "Hope" that called Jedi and The Force become more meaningful rather than a joke in Skywalker Trilogy.
It got off to a slow start with episodes 1 and 2 to the point where I was thinking, “I’m getting bored! Nothing is happening!” But by episode 3, I was floored too. It feels like a Star Wars show but they decided to use some different and darker colours and I cannot wait to see where this goes.
Loving it so far....a good and exciting direction. This is what ALL Star Wars shows and movies should be like.
This is the SW show I have been begging for.
Now this is the Star Wars that I wanted the most! 👍👏👌
I really enjoyed Andor and I’m very excited for the future of the show
I have been looking at the comments and it is fascinating to see the different perspectives on the same episodes. It has got to be hard to be a writer these days when there are so many factions of society. I think the best stories are those that aren't interested in trying to please everyone all of the time. I really like that they seem to be trying to make a connection with the working people in the real world.
Excellent show. I can't wait to see we're it goes
I can not really understand how you think Rings Of Power Ep1 is slow but not this one. Loved the Look and the World building, but the 3 Episodes were the definition of slow to me. I think it will get much better though...
I've been waiting for a Star Wars show like this. They really take things seriously, it doesn't feel like a kids show.
I really don't think Return of the Jedi was the anomaly in the Original Trilogy. A New Hope wasn't that serious either. It was The Empire Strikes Back that was different although for better rather than worse.
By the way, I love the Andor series so far.
Had they released these as three single episodes over three weeks I don't think it'd be getting half the praise. Disney is really pulling one over on people with this 20-30 minute model.
But they were smart enough to release all 3 episodes.
Episode 3 was absolutely incredible!
I agree it feels more like HBO Max show instead of Disney+. Very well said!
Even though the episodes had a slower pace, I LOVED every single second of Andor so far. The production design, the acting, the story, and the action are all incredible and I have no major issues with the show. I think I am actually going to wait until the next three come out to watch another segment because I don’t think it will work as well if I watch it one episode at a time. Still, this is the best Star Wars show so far!
Loved it. What I've been waiting for.
Right there with ya Camp, absolutely LOVE THIS SHOW!
Rob’s favorite word is “verisimilitude”
Star Wars has always been, as George Lucas himself reiterated, a show for children. Andor is a show for adults and lot of fans can't handle that...but that's just a reflection of themselves and not of the show itself. Hopefully this signals a change in the SW universe and we get more shows aimed at the more mature market.
facts like obviously the films should be family friendly with the fantasy shit but i love the direction this is going in, its so bad ass
I 100% agree. I have been very let down with the majority of the Disney Star Wars movies/shows but this is really awesome. I wish this team had been involved with obi wan and boba fett
For what to make it boring like Andor??
Star Wars is space fantasy. With Andor, they are putting more sci-fi into Star Wars and I'm here for it.
Man you said it “sci fi” I couldn’t quiet put my finger on it because I’m loving how the director is directing with the suspense and mystery But my only problem is with it is that Star Wars isn’t a mystery we know what Star Wars is Jedi Sith empire rebels there is nothing hidden behind the curtain no big alien reveal.
Andor is my favorite so far. Love the used look. Hope they do more like this.
I've just watched the first episode so far, and can't wait to finish up this first arc. Loving the dialogue and tone of it all
THIS IS WHAT DISNEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVING US!!!!!!!!
Yeah can we get a re-do on Boba Fett and Obi Wan? Let the Andor team take those back to the drawing board?
No, leave them be.
@@HTHAMMACK1 very obviously it could never happen. It was a facetious way of saying that it's too bad those shows sucked.
The writing is fantastic. Not surprised though since the same guy wrote the Bourne trilogy.
This is a mature show so of course the less mature Star Wars fans are going to revolt.
I don't always agree with you guys... but you put your finger on what is special about Andor and what I have been craving from Star Wars. The fact we feel the Empire in the show and have not seen a single Trooper is amazing. The fact we see how held down these people are is just brilliant.
You also are so spot on that they need to release an Act 1 of a series rather than hurt the show to draw out the content on the calendar.
i didn't like it at first, but after sleeping on it, it's great
glad we had 3 episodes to start instead of 1 or 2
Excellent show! Surprised me
As soon as I knew Diego Luna and Tony Gilroy were back for “Andor,” I was IN.
As soon as I heard the same team behind the "Bourne" series was making this I knew it would be good. The Boune trilogy is the best in the espionage genre IMO, and I was pumped for this.
Sure, episode 1 and 2 could have been edited down to one episode and would have made a ton of difference… but, by the end of ep3, I’m hooked. I hope I stay hooked. …. I do hope it starts to resemble Star Wars…. If not, at least it’s a decent show.
Absolutely LOVING this show - like Blade Runner (for me) - just a few minutes in and you feel like you are truly experiencing the world - so totally immersed that when the Credits roll there is always a split second sense of dislocation....
Ever since Rogue One, I said this is how Star Wars should be moving forward - more practical sets and real locations, more grounded and darker tone, and no Jedi. We finally have that with Andor and I hope we see this same formula more because it's better.
Jedi can be interesting but we've been stuck with the Skywalker saga.
I’d like to see the merch Disney could sell for Dark serious Star Wars. Kids dressed up as imps this Halloween 👻🤣
@@Romancefantasy toy sales have gone down since the rise of smart phones so I doubt toys will be sold a lot
Jedi are interesting Disney just keeps telling shit stories tales of the Jedi has some good stuff
I so much agree with you about Andor. Absolutely stunning and I love the fact that the buildup is so gradual and steady. There is a grittiness that only English accented actors and European accents can give. Special FX are superb. So looking forward to the progress of the show
If the rest of the show is as slow as these first 3 episodes then I think they should follow the Arcane model and do 3 episodes a week and release based on the story arcs because I think the story is to slow for it to handle a single episode a week release model.
Cant be as slow as rings of power
Makes me VERY relieved that 4+ is even better, this was on the edge for me.
I'll take the analogy from star wars theory- it's like smelling something great cooking in the oven right now.
My fear is/was(?) If you don't get to actually eat it, it's just going to drive you nuts. Or worse, when something smells good but you go to eat the meal and it doesn't measure up.
Honestly enjoying it as much as mandalorian so far. I think I'm just super happy to not only see a gritty take on star wars like Rogue one was, but also the sets. I got so sick of not jusy constantly being stuck on tattooine bit more that were finally seeing shows shot in real environments and not on the volume.
ANDOR is a slow-burn masterpiece. Finally a beautifully crafted Star Wars story for adults. The “pew-pew” adolescent fans will think it’s boring, but I don’t give a rats ass what they think.
Andor is the best Star Wars Disney has put out besides Mandalorian!
I still think Mandalorian is better
Mondo is more "fun" for sure, but andor's dialog alone makes it "better" imo.
@@709mash Oh right, it all comes down to the dialogue
Apples and oranges. Mando is constant key-jangling, little substance, and gets really dumb later on.
Take out fan-service and expensive production, you'd be left with mediocre story and weak characterisation.
Think you guys nailed it!
imagine a story as grounded as this with a jedi as the main character, i mean i love andor but the beginning of the show gvs mad jedi fallen order vibes!
Especially First 10 mins...
Simply put… future shows/films should not all be like Andor, but they should all strive for its level of quality & craftsmanship. Star Wars in the past few years has been lacking in real quality filmmaking
I loved this show, So exciting to see Star Wars go in a slightly new direction and take time building character and the world.
I knew Robert was gonna say verisimilitude 🤣
That's his word lol I used that term last night at my girlfriend's familys house and they were floored by it and internally I thanked Robert lol
1st episode was a little slow but episode got better...and has good Mexican Kid Diego Luna!!!! Awesome show!!!
If this is 5BBY & Obi was 10BBY that gives us about 9 years from iii to Obi (If my star wars algebra is correct). Would this be the best period to explore a Vader, jedi hunter, series ?
Probably, a Vader series right after III would definitely be the best period for a jedi hunter type series, a series like that could really bring the Dark Horse Vader comics of old to life if done right
all great points good stuff
This show feels like the DS9 of Star Wars. It also reminds me of some of the BSG reboot too, mainly the story arc when the Cylons occupied New Caprica
Ep3 made me cry In front of my wife
I loved it
It works for me, yes the first two episodes are slower but they introduce us to characters but I never got bored, the third episode obviously the best completely knocked me down, overall the effects are very good and the acting too, I am on board.
So far love it
Awesome show.... the story arc and world building is incredible. Finally we have a proper gritty mature Star Wars show and I can't wait to see the next episode.
My only issue with this series (which is the same with all live action Star Wars) is where are all the bloody aliens? It's just human, human, human.... oh there is one alien and now human, human, human.... oh there are alien dogs..... human, human, human. Season 1 of The Mandalorian started off really strong with alien characters but by the 2nd half of the season and all of season 2 it was mainly all humans again.
Yes, excellent point and something that also bothered me in these episodes. It didn’t bother me in Mandalorian because the story and pacing made up for that, but in these 3 episodes I was constantly thinking ‘where are the alien species?’ Hopefully it’s due to the planet they’re on and things will be better on Coruscant.
This is possibly the best Star Wars content we’ve had since the first season of the Mandalorian. It gives me heavy hunger games vibes too.Also the camera work and cinematography is incredible!
Im glad all the "disney" feeling is out of this. And love the show. But what's gonna actually pull me out of the show is waiting a week for 30 minute episodes. Disney has the absolute - w o r s t - streaming model. Although i hope the ratings stay strong because i would rather have star wars in this tone than anything else they have given us.
we should have got this tone with boba and kenobi but I have star wars fatigue now because of the sham they both were
Especially Kenobi. Book of Boba Fett was expected to be like Mandalorian but with Kenobi, I was expecting a bit more like dark gritty
I just hate how short Disney shows are. Give us fewer but longer episodes. Having to wait an entire week at a time for a little 30 min chunk is terrible.
I thought they only released up to 4 to reviewers? Did John already watch 5 and 6?
I am loving Andor so far! Much more mature Star Wars series than I originally anticipated! A more darker and grittier tone than The Mandalorian! Easily!
I couldn't agree more. This is an amazing show thus far and I love it! It has an anxiety to it.
As many have said, this show will split viewers. It will not be for everyone and that is ok. It’s a show that takes its time and has a pace that many viewers will not like. For some they’ll feel that nothing happens in the show, for others the dialogue and character moments is plenty. I personally love it but I understand those that won’t.
People who say this is boring,, would probably say Michael Clayton is boring yet it received many nominations when it came out
Robert "Spoiler" Burnett 🙃
Had to stop when John Campea dropped the location of episode 4, I guess jokes on me for not checking for "no spoilers"
I really liked it
A different take, fresh air, with darker tone
This is an important show. If "Andor" succeds, it will be shown that serious sci-fi can be explored inside the Star Wars universe. But if fails, then we will be condemned to watch childish and superficial trash forever.
There’s an amateurishness to the other Star Wars TV shows compared to Andor why is that?
Better/more experienced show runners I’m guessing
Writing and casting, specifically writing for that character that the actor can absolutely knock out of the park, which they did

Watched Harloff then Campea with Rob Burnett, reminded me of the old Collider days. I hope they're all still talking.
Harloff’s been on the show a couple of times recently
Harloff has been on the show a few times
@@Sacha_8976 Makes me happy :-)
That's good news :-)
As much as I love the show I think John is wrong, it won't unite the fanbase as much as The Mandalorian because it's just not got enough action for some. This is grown up Star Wars and unfortunately alot of the fanbase are children or just immature.
I wouldn’t say “unfortunately”. It’s absolutely great that kids get to enjoy Star Wars as I did when I was a kid. After all SW is primarily a kids franchise. But I am in agreement about the reception, in the internet era, where everyone is extremely polarized about everything, not many things can unite a fanbase as large as SW. And this certainly is not a show for kids. But hey, as for me, I’m loving the show.
@@B1gBoyPants mature people can...
@@Coracora-he9pz Sorry, not specifically unfortunately alot of the fanbase are children but unfortunately alot of the fanbase are immature. Alot of grown adults can't sit through character building dialogue cos they were raised on things like the Fast and Furious movies where characters exhibit one stereotype to show character then start blowing things up.
It's all because of this guy..... ....... Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁Tony Gilroy! 🥂🍾
The oppressed upraised!. This is so historically grounded in a way. I lived back in my country of birth through a revolution and, can you believe it, I found it relatable to it!. It's weird I feel the whole three episodes could have been compressed in just one. YET!, I loved the subtle world and its look and, each and every character seemed to have substance and purpose. And you can feel how it's building up a very emotionally charged tone for the show in a very serious way. I'm gonna expect now, a line very close to, "if we don't do anything then evil wins" 😮👏
I expect a Winston Churchill-like character to rally and inspire the cause. And, start calling each other comrade.
I watched the first half of "Andor" (episodes 1, 2, and 3), and it's really good so far
(I thought that "Rouge One" could've been 10% better, but I liked it very much)
Why they fight? I guess you didn't see the solo movie.
Judging by their box office numbers back then, no one did.
I love it. Ground level Star Wars.
It is really good.
This is the Star Wars show that could get serious Emmy consideration - Best Actor, Actress, Writing, Direction, Etc.
