![[DRIP] ‘Love, Maybe’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U7hwHp95m1k/mqdefault.jpg)
Best episode so far imo. Didn't need any action since the dialogue, directing, cinematography and acting are so suspenseful and atmospheric. This is top notch drama and amazing world building
My thoughts exactly! Its my new favourite episode. Epic, tense, emotional, consequential - all via clever writing. I just dont understand how anyone past age 10 can find this boring.
The music is gold
I'm so glad we have a 12 episode season, and a season 2 guaranteed. It's been incredible
If only they gave a legacy character as legendary as Boba Fett the same respect
The woman who was wearing the cape that went to talk to Vel is Luthen's assistant Kleya. I love how a lot of viewers did not recognize her at first glance because she totally changed her clothes, hair do, and even the way she walks and carries herself. She put on a disguise for her meet up with Vel. This is spycraft 101.
Yes, It's the best Star Wars show. and it's not even close. I like Mandalorian, but let's be honest: that show is pure escapism with no real substance. The pure definition of "empty calories". Andor, on the other hand, is talking about real issues: oppression, rebelion, personal responsibility, etc. It's a serious attempt to make art.
The woman in the red hoodie is Luthen's shop assistant.
I’m obsessed with this series like no other
How does this manage to get better & better with each episode,HOWWW.....
ANDOR is the star wars I've been asking for
You guys weren't interested in Cassian in this episode? Wow. The favorite scene in the show so far was his conversation with Maarva in this episode.... and that ending at the Miami beach resort was so good!
The interaction between Maarva & Cas were some of the most raw & emotional. Such superb acting from Fiona Shaw one if the best character actors in the industry.
The scenes between the 2 of them some the best in the entire series.
The lack of appreciation from Kris & to a lesser extent JC confuses 😕 me regarding Marva v Cas scenes.
Kris is great but
Okay I take it back Andor rocks. I love it when I'm wrong.
I thought this was the best episode yet! there was a couple of really chilling moments in it.
I’m genuinely surprised how many people didn’t realize that was Luthan’s assistant just with her hair down…
Amazing episode, no action, but just as exciting as any other episode, if not more! God, the writing and editing is so good! I also love that he ends up at Venice Beach at the end...
😁👍🏼
I respectfully have to disagree with Kris, the scene between Cas & Marvaa was so emotional & it tells the strong emotional bond that exists between all three and tells us everything about Clem & Marvaa's relationship.
I loved the conversation with Cassian's mom, her telling him this robbery was a call to arms and he probably wouldn't understand it. And he doesn't, even though he was part of it (and couldn't tell her, would she have been proud?). Just great multilayered writing.
Andor is like Bourne Identity + Blade Runner + Revenge of the Sith
Finally an episode I loved. Have thought the rest of the episodes have been alright, but this was finally amazing.
THIS IS AN AMAZING SHOW!!! This last episode was SOO dope!! It was so cool to see how the Rebellion grew from these small pockets of disgruntled citizens. This is STAR WARS!! This is the beginning! The least interesting scenes weren't with Andor, they were with that dude going on a damn job interview. Sure it has a place in the story, but they weren't more exciting than Andor's scenes.
Side bar: The lady in the red cape was Luthin's receptionist.
Yep, the receptionist. I didn't recognize her at all. With just a change of hairstyle, attire and demeanor she looked like a totally different person. Looks like Luthen only hires really capable people or he is really good at training them.
@@marlonbryanmunoznunez3179 To be honest, it took me a second to recognize her too. I was like, "who is this chick?...OH! The receptionist!!" She may have hired him and chooses to "play" receptionist. That might be her shop that she allows him to use as a front. OR...what you said. Lol.
Im loving this show now. It has a slow build up and a great payoff. No flashy lazers, lightsabers and -cute marketing toys- babies. Just people finding their way in a harsh world.
The writing is great and the cool thing is that beau willimon the creator of house of cards is the writer of the next 3 episodes.
more and more, this show is a bloody goldmine for GMs and players of Star Wars Edge Of Empire ttrpg! Seriously, it has everything! locations, adventure plothooks, NPCs, hints for role play. I wish I had Andor back when I actually played and GM that game!
Truth!!
I think Cassian's story just moves slowly because this is his show, so his character arc is stretched out over the entire season. Therefore, it seems like he doesn't change much. But I found that scene where he was going after the troopers with a stick while his mother was saying "we need heroes that will stand up to the Empire" was exposing the bravery and the potential Andor has to become one of those heroes. He has it in him, he just doesn't care yet. Once his character goes full circle and becomes a believer, he will become someone the audience can rally behind while he fights the empire.
I find cassian’s arc very moving and very well acted. Diego Luna is fantastic as Andor and as a Mexican actor he is great representation for the Latino community just as T’Challa is in Black Panther for the black community. I’m glad the show is named after Andor.
While I agree it's more like Star Wars grown ups, my kids are absolutely glued to this show like nothing else.
Every scene with Andor and Maarva had me on the verge of tears :(
Wow. So satisfying on so many levels. Story, script, character development, casting, pacing, costuming, not special effect driven... The many references to the 1956 film '1984', especially the striking resemblance that the Diedre character has to Jan Sterling's 'Julia' (hair colour, hairdo and cap). I can't wait for the next episode, but at the same time do not want it to end.
This episode was the best one ever! The writhing on this episode, chefs kiss, Mon Mothma dialogues especially and Genevieve Acting is Emmy worthy
Complaints about something this well written being boring for the lack of action tempt me to believe that we all collectivly deserve mediocre content.
Oh yeah, so sad
@@darrel7589 "there are no plot twists or anything"🤦♂️
To me, the conversation between Andor and Fiona Shaw's character is better than anything George Lucas has ever written. This show is the best content under the Star Wars umbrella since 1999.
Anyone annoyed by this, bite me.
"No game of dejarik can be won without pawns." - Kreia
Mon Monthma is starting to see what really needs to be done, what sacrifices need to be made. Of course, people are already dying and suffering, the rebels need to make sure that they suffer and die for a cause.
This show is so great and I'm all in on all the story arcs they're giving us that I'm even rooting for Dedra.
Yes Clone Wars fans, that was in fact Yularen at the beginning of the episode. GREAT tie in!
Also this show should be taught in dialogue class for acting classes cause man it's so good!!
The Gilroys are expert in writing that back and forth conversational dialog. Only Tarantino IMO is better.
@@The_DA ya it's great
I think this episode is tied with Episode 4 (maybe also 1) for having the best dialogue.
@@The_DA Now that you mention Tarantino dialogues, when Mon at the end of her scene said "To be continued", I got an immediate flashback to Vicent saying that to Jules in Pulp Fiction Diner scene 😆
@@andrewxu3602 ya the dialogue for all episodes has been good
What's burning people about this show, is that it is a political drama. We are truly exploring what Star Wars is at it's core.
This show blows Boba Fett and Obi Wan out of the water. If only those two shows had had the writing, directing and acting of Andor (plus the more well directed action that those two shows would have warranted) - makes it even more excruciatingly frustrating just thinking about it...
@@darrel7589 Christ mate, I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you. All of Obi Wans side characters were dreadful. The Inquisitors were cartoonish, Vader was not explored in enough depth character wise apart from a couple scenes. Every supporting character in Andor has fleshed out character arcs and development. Boba Fett was awful, inconsistent with the character and action scenes were horrifically choreographed. The best episodes were the two which didn't even feature him in it. Even Temuera Morrison wasn't happy with his characterization in the BoBF (see his interviews where he wishes for a more badass boba). If you're not finding Andor fun that's because it's not supposed to be an action filled swashbuckling adventure. It's in the vain of Endeavour, Breaking Bad, HoTD levels of seriousness. A top drama with excellent acting, drama and dialogue. Many of us SW fans have been screaming for something like this for years. We can have the adventure family friendly SW shows as well as the more mature darker shows like Andor. Something for everyone. I pray to God that they keep making shows in this tone.
@@alexanderp7083 preach
@@darrel7589 Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but seriously… how is this a real comment? I’m genuinely not sure if you’re serious. Andor’s writing is basic? Obi-Wan is written better? That just doesn’t really compute, the writing in Andor is more layered, nuanced, and complex than anything Star Wars has put out, including the original trilogy. Doesn’t mean it’s better, but the OT is pretty simple compared to Andor
"Caspian", "Mon Mothra"; you know for as much as you guys love this show, you'd think you'd really know their names by now. Still love you guys. Keep up the great work.
I actually love the Cassian stuff, he's so good in his role
Diego is crushing it
Andor is incredible tv apart from Star Wars.
Now we know why Andor didnt kill Jyn´s father in Rogue One.
Best of episode so far well written well acted cool background score. I loved this one. I am not a star wars fan I just watch it when I want mindless fun but Andor is just the right kind of star wars for me. I still cant process some planets its species and weird houses and bars seems more primitive than advanced.
This show is incredible, better writing than Mandalorian, and incredible story building.
Mandalorian has writing?
One thing pisses me off about this show. Andor proves that they actually do know how to make a good show so where was this with obi wan?
The had the wrong showrunner and the wrong writers for Obi Wan.
Well, just like with the empire, on any organization you will have talented people and less talented people, some will make Andor, others will make Obi Wan xD, is not a monolitic hive mind
@@azdart if only there was one person in charge of it all.......
@@michaeltate7287 well, on the empire you have palpatine in "charge of it all" and still, you see that not every part of the empire work at same level ;)
@@azdart maybe one studio and the entire galaxy isn't quite the same thing
Loved, LOVED that Mon Mothma's political face was inspired by Palpatine...
Why wasn't Dedra made a Targaryen?
Everyone puts the mandalorian on a pedestal and while I like it it’s not incredible.
It’s not the greatest show ever made but it’s fun Star Wars, which is what most people wanted🤷🏽♀️
@@Romancefantasy yeah that’s what I think too… but iv just noticed that a lot of the complaints people have about other Star Wars stuff, the mandalorian has those too.
It was great in the first season when it was 'Star Wars, but y'know, different' but since season 2 just turned into fan service 'memberberry porn it's just boring.
@@paulfosten2094 tbh I preferred the second season… yes there were cameos galore but it was less filler.
@@vice2versa yeah I agree tbf… cameos make the universe feel more connected
Campea it’s better… intricate story telling and relationships that actually mean something! They got something with this one
Fiona Shaw is really great in every scene that she's in 😁
Isn't women in red hood the shop assistant
yep
Think so, she just looks totally different with her hair down.
Best Disney Plus show out, period!!!
Top tier TV and it's STAR WARS! Finally, a water-cooler show set in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. Love The Mandolorian and Really Love this show!
The aesthetic originated by Moebius is more apparent in this episode, from and cityscapes, to the interior designs, robotics (or droids in star wars speak), and clothes..
you had me from the opening sentence
Beyond everything, Women in this show are unusually gorgeous for StarWars standards.. they are so beautiful, and I love it
Leia
Padme
Rey
Jyn
Qi’ra
Even with they are all white brunettes, it’s hardly groundbreaking to have that element in SW
Tony gilroy is a gr8 writer
Kris, I think that's purposeful... Not caring much about Andor, yet. And I feel like you know it
🎶How does it keep getting better🎶 This episode is even better than the last week’s episode, although I would have changed the ending. I would have shown first Syril’s new job scene and then Cassian’s judgement.
Best episode so far
I just hope we don’t get the standard tv show jail episode next, that would be a mistake.
@@garymatthews4323 *Spoilers IF you haven’t watched the trailers.*
Andor’s jail time will probably be 2-3 episodes because nothing in this show happens that quickly. And we saw that underwater prison quite many times in the trailers. The inmates were running there so Andor must start a riot to escape.
@@laurijaakkola3762 it will be at most 2 as that is how many episode we have left in this arc.
@@garymatthews4323 Yeah, true.
I'd rather watch this than any other hour star wars
So I guess pistachios are part of the Star Wars world. The lady at the trial / hearing was eating them
Wasn't the lady in the cape the lady from his shop??
Yes, that was Luthen's "assistant" (using that term loosely since she seems to be pretty hard-boiled).
@@TheRumblewagon exactly, she kinda made it sound like he works for her, like I thought she said when I found him....anyway yes I thought it was her, it would have been weird for some random lady to come out of nowhere this late in the game.
I think if you know nothing about star war you would enjoy this show a lot more. Because while I do enjoy the show, the thought of 'all this is point less since you can't defend the two Sith lord without a Jedi' is always in my head as I watch the show.
And the show biggest strength is also it biggest weakness. It a show so heavy on realism it doesn't feels like a star war show. I 100% agree this is a better written show then The Mandalorian. But Mandalorian is a lot more entertaining for me to watch
It seems to have cut loose all the Lucas (ie. Joseph Campbell) elements. The "hero" doesn't have much issue around his birth, he is mercenary as opposed to being simply reluctant or skeptical, practical. His super power is not the force but seems now to be his poverty ridden beginnings ... a super power of it's own in contemporary narratives. And it has almost no humour at all... a staple of Star Wars from the beginning. Probably why most die hards are tuning out for one or all of these reasons.
Very true, though I wonder if they are doing that to preserve the specialness of the heroes’ journey for characters like Luke in the main saga movies. A lot of these shows and stand alone movies have served to prop up or deepen ideas in the main movies, which I’m glad for. I don’t think we would want all the protagonists in these shows and movies to have that same heroes blueprint, as it would get repetitive and take away from the uniqueness of the main heroes of the saga films. Just a thought.
In this Star Wars world, there isn't any room for humor unless you're a Jedi. I'm down with the original, serious, gritty storytelling set in the Star Wars Universe. It's like a really good science fiction show. The fact that it's based in Star Wars just makes it better - but clearly this show is above and beyond all the other garbage Disney has been producing. Obi-Wan and Boba were total trash that insulted our intelligence.
Fuel purity lmao
Andor is so detailed and focused on characters not action, its not for dumb star wars fans focused on action.
Why are there no stars in this Star Wars? Asking for a friend.
Unsure what this means.
@@ericgrande7155 The don't spend any time in space or on space ships. Best part of this show is the brief glimpses of Star Destroyers and TIE fighters.
@@BonzoKilbourn Seriously?
@@ericgrande7155 Yes. Why would I not be serious about this? Star Wars is about swashbuckling space adventure. Few space ships. Few aliens. No Jedi. You can tell a different style of story in the Star Wars realm, but it is simply not as pleasing to watch. I am enjoying the show for what it is, but it could be a lot better.
@@BonzoKilbourn I have absolutely no answer for you 🤷♂
Not a John Campea fan at all….but he does hit this review on the nose
Why are you watching his channel then
@@Jacester1324 Seidz1 is one of those troIIs She-Hulk was making fun of.
@@gdeth1856 she hulk was the worst show ever created
@@Jacester1324
It came up on my feed. Curious on what Campea had to say on it, considering I usually completely disagree with his movie reviews.
@@Seldz1 I'm 3 months late, but dude, just say he's got the review hit on the nose. We don't need the added information that you're a dick lol. it doesn't matter if you don't like him, but the moment you announce that for no reason, you're a dick.
You know, whoever is getting the screen grabs for your segment title card needs to do a better job. A lot of times I can infer your opinion on something based upon your facial expressions in the title card. This one threw me for a look because I fully expected to hear you say this episode was just ok. 😂
There's just one complain about this show. There's so much Earth on it! Coffee in the morning? Heels? A resort? There are here and there props and everyday items and what not that are not as "Starwars" as I've would like. Minor complain. Show's is great!
Read the old EU books and see how much "earth" there is. Even the old Kotor games showed a lot of regular life
Why wouldn't they have resorts and heels in a whole damn universe? Or even a coffee like drink. I fail to see why they wouldn't exist.
Star Wars has literally always been like that, the gritty, recognizable vibe of the world mixed with the space fantasy stuff is what makes the setting so interesting!
@@visionentertainment8006 Of course they need resorts. I just think that, with a little design "out of the box" you might get something much more interesting than just put some aliens in Aruba. That is one of my major complains about The Last Jedi also. The Casino on Canto Bight its too similar to the casinos we got on Las Vegas, just with some aliens. I'm not saying regular life should not exist, I'm just asking for a little more design.
@@Huguex00 Oh, alright. Thought you meant they shouldn't exist at all.
It’s Mon Mothma not Mon Mothra lol
I think they should’ve done an Arcane and released the episodes in batches of 3. Because no one is talking about this show
If this show had come out before Boba Fett it would have been massive. Two back to back disappointments with Boba Fett and Obi Wan ruined its wide appeal. Hopefully people watch later and realize how brilliant it is.
Star wars for people who take star wars too seriously
This ep was just to slow for me, Syril's plot is so slow, and I hate the ending, a certain character should be able to get out of that situation easy.
Without getting shot? How would he have gotten out of that?
@@ericgrande7155 With a high-stakes one vs all shootout with BIG explosions and DARTH VADER himself shows up to take care of our lead character who just BARELY escaped with his life. That’s how it should’ve gone down, would’ve been much more realistic and LESS BORING DURR DURR
@@ImTheReverse yeah cus andors surviving vader and a massive shoot out against all and that's the most believable scenario lol okay
@@alexfoster1309 he was clearly being sarcastic
Not on Mandalorian level, full stop.
The titular character is not interesting, the action is not up to modern levels, the story is slower than a slow burn.
Stil better than the other Disney+ SW shows…just in no way shape or form near Mandalorian.
It is up to debate though. While Mando is more interesting as a single character compared to Andor the world building of Andor is much better than Mando. Dialogue is also much better than Mando even though Mando dialogue is pretty good. You could say both shows are different in genre. One is an adventure type of show while this one is more spy thriller drama. Both aims at different types of audience and their execution is different. Which is better is up to your personal preferences and taste.

@@darrel7589 Obi-Wan??? Seriously? Sure Obi had good internal conflicts but they didn't pursue enough. The fight scenes are cool but that's about it. The whole Obi-Wan plot was full of bad writing and plot. The escape from the Inquisitor base was mind-boggling. Reva is pretty shit as a character as well. It's not always about cool action moments, dialogue, plot, and writing are important. Obi-Wan lacked most of that and it was the show I am looking forward to the most. Obi relied on nostalgia and cameos while Andor let the plot and writing carry it, earning me more respect.
@@darrel7589 obi wan was not that great lol. The obi wan - Vader fights were mid and the Inquisitors are among the worst things to happen to Star Wars. It was barely better than TBOBF.

Last episode was great but this one went back to all talk and no movement im sorry i dont need action every 5 minutes but this show its just 50 min of people talking
Sounds like you need action every 5 minutes.
In other words, you're a child.
@@IIJonnyBoyII exactly. Every single piece of dialog had massive implications, both personal and at large. I dont understand the type of audience that finds this boring.
@@IIJonnyBoyII no i dont
@@emanuelsosa8 That sounds a lot like you need action in every ep. If you can't appreciate the dialogue and the political play then this show ain't for you.
I don't know what show you're watching but this could be the worst episode because it's the weirdest. The series had a format of 2 boring episodes and one descent but now instead of making it just boring, it rushes towards the end featuring that scene where Andor is caught for doing nothing. The worst is electronic music.
Caught for doing nothing.... demonstrating how insane the criminal justice system has become. The show is great, but a lot of you just want to watch Jedi and Sith clash lightsabers and it's showing. You are 1 dimensional fans who don't really want good stories.
I'm so bored with this show... I'm super disappointed because I was excited for it but its DRAGS. I can't believe they greenlit 2 seasons upfront....
Go rewatch boba fett, might be a show right up your alley. Poor writing, no good characterizations
that says much more about you than it does about the quality of the show lol^^
Go watch Boba again. lol
This show is so boring! I would rather listen to Rebecca Blacks Friday song 24/7 than sit through another hour of this snooze fest.
so quit watching
Shut up, Tryhard Millenial… your comment is full of Cringe 🧐🤷🏽♀️🤦♀️💆🏽♀️
Good for you. Proceed to watch something else then.
do it then
