I was one of the people that went “who asked for this show? This character of all people”. Now I find this show to already be MUCH better than Obi Wan and Boba Fett in just about every way. I dare say, it might even be better than The Mandalorian for the sheer scale of it alone. It’s not the amount of planet locations that make the setting feel huge, it’s the people
I think imo, nothing happens. It took 3eps to explain and close a very simple arc. Also I don’t rlly care for any of the characters except the droid and andor. I also think the flashbacks don’t do anything for me.
It's kinda surprising how many reactors are surprised by it or just don't even think of the possibility. I've even seen some thinking that maybe the headbutt back shoot the guy's nose back into his brain lol. They're on concrete, guy falls back and hits the soft tender backside of his skull on hard concrete. Dies. It happens in real life. You hear stories about that happening quite often where a guy will just punch a guy and he falls over, hits the floor wrong, and dies. I guess it's because you rarely ever see that play out in movies, and tied to that is how they seem to show in all action movies how a hard blow to the head just knocks a guy out safely, when in reality if you hit someone in the head hard enough to knock them out, they're not just going to peacefully nap and wake up fine. That's permanent brain damage.
Who ever is in charge of this show, I suggest Lucasfilm hire him/her/they as the counselor, cause they did a wonderful job on this show. It's absolutely different from anything else we saw up until this point. The tone, cinematography, storytelling, character involvement they're all on point. And look what happens if you shoot in location instead of Volume. I love the dark tone of it. So far I love this show.
Gareth Edwards directed Rogue One. Gilroy was brought in to do reshoots during post-production and received a screenwriter credit.@@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce
We were promised a dark, gritty, spy thriller and we got it! Seriously, opening the episode with Cassian straight up executing a man point blank!!! Did not think Disney or Lucasfilm would have the balls to green light a tv series like this and I’m so happy to be proven wrong. This looked like Star Wars, Blade Runner, and Cyberpunk 2077!
This first episode really gives me hope that this is going to be the dark, gritty series I've been hoping it will be. It is obviously gonna have some levity and humor to it, but they don't seem to be doing it at the expense of the atmosphere. Not translating the Kenari is an interesting choice, but somehow we can still tell what they are saying. Additionally the sets look great so far, this world legitimately feels lived in.
We're waiting on episode 10 now but I came back to this. The last point about Cassian shooting the guy at the very beginning is a really important signal of both his intelligence/desperation as well as the reality of the time. Scenes like that always remind me of the beginning of Heat when Pacino is explaining that after 'Slick' pops the one guard, the rest of the team kills all of the guards because 'what difference does it make? They're all going up for murder one anyway, so why leave a living witness?' It's remarkably bold (and mature) of Disney to start the series this way. It tells us immediately just how high the stakes are going to be, how dark the story is going to be, and how intelligent (and ruthless) Cassian is. Of course, it also links directly to his character in Rogue One, and that also is setting that standard right from the start.
No Fan Service, Clear Story, No Age restrictions. It's a show that focuses more in the little people down on the ground who literally have to deal with the outcomes the Jedi knights cause fighting against the Empire 😂
Steph! Love everything you do! Whirl Girls, Sith Council, etc! Loving Andor so far. The pig / dog things are PRACTICAL effects… they are REAL dogs in suits
The new disney plus series, Star Wars Andor, is hands down the best show since mandalorian. I think it may actually be better in some ways. It's just really good. Hopefully, it can contain just as good throughout all 12 episodes this season. But, the first flashback scene wasn't jarring. If you pay close attention, B-2EMO calls Cassian Andor, Kassa, when he is sleeping and it transitions into the flashback on his homeworld when he is just about 12-13 years old.
So bby 5 so five years before the battle of yavin The rain and lights over the walk way reminds me of blade runner Nobody gives their real name showing this dark noir like show you can’t be totally honest and truthful. All those saps used to build a new fleet for the empire. Bunch of metal Star Wars galaxy has a big boar just like that So it takes more power for that droid to lie? Lol That welding mask looks like part of a droid head. Love the kids preparing with war paint.
5BBY is the same exact year that Star Wars rebels animated series first episode starts and a bunch of events that happened with the ghost crew.... Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker and ezra are literally 14 years old during this... I thought I recognized the date but wasn't 100% sure well I am now,, pretty easy to google search epic easter egg
"They did a great job of setting up that character because we know exactly who he is, in real life and the show." Totally agree but man I've seen certain reactors root for him and it's SUPER weird
So overall I’m enjoying it. But I will say…besides a few moments I was not quite fully invested in the story until episode 3. I think the acting, dialogue, effects, music, and sets/scenery are next level top notch stuff. But I will say the first two episodes felt like 1/4 of a complete episode because of how abruptly and weird they ended. So I think it was smart to put out the three episodes. First two episodes were rather boring to me minus the opening sequence at the brothel and alleyway murders and a few moments here and there. I think there were parts that were really gripping but other parts felt like they were really taking their time. Usually I don’t mind a slow burn but because I had no idea of the overarching plot I should be caring about until the end of episode 2 the first two were kind of boring at times because I just simply didn’t care about some things because nothing told me I should. I didn’t know why I should care about certain scenes because they were just a hair too vague for my liking and went on just a moment too long without really moving the story along in my opinion. And as much as I appreciate them assuming the audience is smart enough to follow…I would have liked just a few more hints as to why certain scenes and characters were important. Even though I have quite a bit of negative things to say my opinions on the show so far are more positive than negative. I am someone who really appreciates all of the working parts to cinema and this show is really incredible in terms of cinematography, acting, wardrobe, music, special effects(cgi and makeup), etc.
I’m really enjoying the show but I am still unsure where the show is going. Like I felt some of the scenes were very confusing. I think if Episode 3 WASNT making me truly excited to see what happens next I think I would have stopped and waited to see what everyone thought about the show and if it got mostly positive reviews I’d pick it back up.
You hear those sounds comming out of the actors' mouths? They're words, together they make phrases, phrases out of a script that make up a plot, a story, if you have trounle keeping up with the sound, try turning on the subtitles and you can read the words, I personally watch most things subtitled The words you see, are meant to be heard, they're not just time fodder until you get to the next action scene you can go "head empty" to

Jaby: He has big aspirations.
Me: Hope he's careful not to choke on those aspirations.
The writing and dialogue on this show is just brilliant. I don’t get how some people think it’s boring.
Boring is not the right word but slow going yes but that is not bad.They build up and after all there are 12 episodes and there will be 2 seasons.
Who is saying that?
I think imo, nothing happens. It took 3eps to explain and close a very simple arc. Also I don’t rlly care for any of the characters except the droid and andor. I also think the flashbacks don’t do anything for me.
"Small minds will always fail to see the bigger picture"
“Nothing happens”….just the flashpoint that starts the rebellion, that’s all.
It's not that the lazer bounced around and hit him, he fell and hit his head. That's it.
That was the cause initially and when the laser bounced around it could have hit him and killed him. He was just knocked out, initially.
@@abcdefghi2749 i dunno, 2nd dead guy said that they'd tell them he just fell, kinda hard to explain a blaster mark while dying of falling over

@@EACru2002 The Sandman E01 had a very similar cause of death :)
If you fall and hit your head on concrete or other really hard surface, you can be totally effed.
Who ever is in charge of this show, I suggest Lucasfilm hire him/her/they as the counselor, cause they did a wonderful job on this show.

Tony Gilroy. Expensive than other directors/producers.
Tony Gilroy is the showrunner. He also directed and wrote Rogue One.
Gareth Edwards directed Rogue One.
Gilroy was brought in to do reshoots during post-production and received a screenwriter credit.@@SomethingSomewhereJustOnce

I love that it starts out with a Blade Runner homage and Im glad y'all caught it
Exactly my thoughts😅
Super sick Blade Runner vibes!

@12:50 - absolutly AGREE here. ITS FANTASTIC. Especially @13:00
No Fan Service, Clear Story, No Age restrictions. It's a show that focuses more in the little people down on the ground who literally have to deal with the outcomes the Jedi knights cause fighting against the Empire 😂
Ayo Disney is this you, this show is beyond obvious the best star wars series yet
Ridiculously photogenic trio
Andor is what I never knew I always needed.
Steph! Love everything you do! Whirl Girls, Sith Council, etc! Loving Andor so far.
The pig / dog things are PRACTICAL effects… they are REAL dogs in suits

Yet there are some fans complaining that the show is "boring and not worth watching".
You can never satisfy fans. LOL
So bby 5 so five years before the battle of yavin
The rain and lights over the walk way reminds me of blade runner
Nobody gives their real name showing this dark noir like show you can’t be totally honest and truthful.
All those saps used to build a new fleet for the empire. Bunch of metal
Star Wars galaxy has a big boar just like that
So it takes more power for that droid to lie? Lol
That welding mask looks like part of a droid head.
Love the kids preparing with war paint.
I'm pretty sure those dogs were real dogs in costume, just like the ones in Solo.
You know, Steph could totally cosplay Bix.
You guys are like the first ones reacting to this show. I don't get why there aren't too many comments in your section.
Probably because people were waiting to watch the show themselves before they came to watch the reactions.
The best star wars Show after Mandalorian
5BBY is the same exact year that Star Wars rebels animated series first episode starts and a bunch of events that happened with the ghost crew....

Yeah that's why I love your channel 😍
🙄🙄🙄🙄
"They did a great job of setting up that character because we know exactly who he is, in real life and the show."
Totally agree but man I've seen certain reactors root for him and it's SUPER weird
Why? That just shows they did a good job of making him a relatable character.
Promising!

do we need to watch star wars movies to see this
Loved Rogue one Andor rocks no lightsaber and froce more humen story
I wouldn't mind seeing lightsabers or the force in action
@@theawesomeman9821 no enough of bloody lightsabers. Had enough of all that juvenile stuff
High strung dude seems like a clone of Michael Shannon. There's uncanny similarities
0:10 Same Jaby, Same.
this series is soooo slow. but i love the acting by Diego Luna and others
I’m really enjoying the show but I am still unsure where the show is going. Like I felt some of the scenes were very confusing. I think if Episode 3 WASNT making me truly excited to see what happens next I think I would have stopped and waited to see what everyone thought about the show and if it got mostly positive reviews I’d pick it back up.
What's confusing? This is not Rings of Power with stupid confusing screen cuts.
Again Jaby with two beautiful women. God. Great show though.
Team Steez. Steph is the best.
Star Wars sounds so much better with British accents.
I fuck with it …I hope Vader pop out 🫡
how would you know if vader is in the show or not? you didn't see him it the trailer or his breathing sound
@@ralphbonkale1171 facts , but this is before rogue one. Maybe a big suprise coming
Dude, you are sandwiched between two gorgeous women!!! Lucky feller!!!
First!!
The 90s called and want its overused comment back
Watched all 3 and still had little idea what was going on. It seemed like 30+ year old ex gameboy players wrote this...garbage
