Andor - re:View

Does it happen? Why yes it done! Hello, and welcome to yet another internet™ TH-cam™ video about Star War™. My name is Krebs Gorlon official spokesperson for Red Letter Media™. The clowns known as Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasan famously known for having zero association with P. Diddy (formerly Puff Man). Today Mike and Rich decide to finally make a minimal effort to catch up on the world of a Star War. A world they has decided to shrug off years ago after a clone of Emperor Palpatine was used as a desperate attempt to make cheap cash from a brain-dead audience of clowns and sh*theads. Mike and Rich both loathed Rogue One: A Star War Story. Ever more they loathed the love for its' bland characters like Gem Klebstone, Korla Blargbon, Phib McP-Diddy, and especially Cassian And/or. They saw Rogue One as a bad sign. A “remember this” orgy of pointless action scenes and a film awash in Star War c*m. Star Wars porn essentially. Not much to admire about the writing. A dumb man’s science fiction film. So when a series about Cassian Andor, a character destined to die after a Grand Moff Tarkin with a cartoon face laser blasts a planet, they had no interest. Thankfully, whoever is writing/producing/green-lighting the Star War have made a bold and smart course correction to appeal to people who have IQ’s above 8 (at least on this series). Mike and Rich both very much enjoyed Andor. They discuss the show and the inner workings of what makes a Star War work and what doesn’t. What should be done and what shouldn’t. Now, keep in mind Mike and Rich aren’t super up to date on a Star War. They’ll most certainly get some names wrong. Some places wrong. Shows, characters, settings, events, canon, history, places, people, names, dates, races, planets, movies, books, shows, actors, times, technology, witers, death stars, darth vaders, and star war, but begast you must know how they doesn’t do then on purpose. The house is on a hill, but alas it's not haunted. They try their best despite not caring one bit or nothing like that. They watch shows meant for others not wanting to know more about the Star War. These kind of material can be overwhelming for them as their brains and body are constantly fighting off deadly infection. It can also be incredibly dumb and debilitating. These characters with laser swords always fighting others. Always sad people selling junk or cutting up fish meat. Always a bad ship in space. Always a fighting. Why? But people love this crap. They dress up in the costumes like zombie. Say the names and remember things they know. Cry at the trailers. Cry at seeing a thing they remember on a screen. Fill up their drawers with junk when they see a Jedi or a Darth Something. They see a de-aged Anakin Skywanker and ask about why he ate a Jar Jar Binks for dinner when he became a Darth Vader? They LOVE it without question and Kennedy and Dave F. drool at their masses. The actors and creators go on stage and smile and drool for that sweet sweet cash. They want to say how much they love being a Jedi or a whatnot. They say they love the fans and that the Star War is a family or a community or whatever, but all these ghouls really love is the checks.

It turns out that when you hire a competent, experienced and talented screenwriter, you can get a good Star Wars show out seemingly nothing.

In an interview Tony Gilroy stated that the second season of Andor would be its last for the simple reason that he can’t keep up the intensity of making this sort of show without sacrificing quality.

Syril getting berated by his goblin-mom while he's trying to finish his Kapn Krunch is the best part of the show and I will fight you on that

I appreciate that Andor managed to make a singular TIE fighter terrifying.

[@doolicious]

Mike seemed to forget the smile and laugh of Luthen after finding out that the heist was successful. It was acted brilliantly by Skarsgard after the pressure and anxiety in prior scenes

[@TortugaMaritima]

"Were there Jedis in The Phantom Menace?"

[@Able406]

Rich’s turn to “I now hate this show” in the last 5 seconds is the most tragic arc in the history of Star Wars

[@RTukka]

One thing that you guys missed is that Kenari (Andor's homeworld) wasn't a pre-industrial planet, it was a planet that was ruined by some kind of industrial accident that only left children alive.

[@wirilome]

I regularly forget Andor is a person and think it's a planet

[@Opno]

When my very good friend, Mike Stoklasa, said "I liked Andor a lot", the dopamine hit from my opinion being correct was absolutely euphoric

[@toyfreaks]

Can't believe you left the Holiday Special out of your Star Wars chronology

[@iroquoispliskin155]

Mike and Rich growing old together watching sci-fi makes me so happy.

[@PatricksCrazyPlace]

Imagine being famous for a video essay that completely ripped the Phantom Menace apart only to come back years later and ask "Were there Jedis in the Phantom Menace?" LOL

As a dork about more niche and arbitrary aspects of Star Wars, this hit it out of the park with the OT's "cassette futurism" and high tech/ low-life aesthetic and look. I also really liked how we saw more boring housing and public area pockets of Coruscant along with the luxurious areas and gritty back alleys.

[@marshallscot]

Rich would probably love an Office style comedy show based around a Mon Calamari shipyard attempting to keep up with Rebel ship quotas and requirements.
