Andor | The best Star Wars content in 40 years

[@RenegadeAcre]

I've been proclaiming it's better than A New Hope. I'm no lightweight fan either. I'm tatted up with rebel markings. 😂

[@MonstersNotUnderTheBed]

I feel like it isn't better? But....makes New Hope better. I think Andor, Rogue One, and New Hope are a fantastic Saturday binge watch arc.

[@DC-hf7td]

This was a brilliant show. The first time I saw what star wars could/should become. I've loved star wars since I was 5. This is the best stuff since empire strikes back!!

[@lukeluke333lukeluke]

I don't know if I will ever understand how Andor was made and was able to do its own thing. I really love everything about the show. Luther my favorite new Star Wars character. The rest of the cast is awesome as well. Its easily the best live action Star Wars show. Its top notch Star Wars content. Right up there with the original movies, KOTOR, and Clones Wars series. Will watch any video giving this show its much deserve praise in support.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Luther is amazing, I love his monologue about what he's sacrificed, and how he's almost no longer even human. Really great stuff

[@WillFredward7167]

I think this gem flew under KK’s radar. The very fact that it had no major characters from other shows/movies meant the evil overlords paid it less attention. I’m actually glad the show only has 2 seasons, because it means the 2nd season will likely also be brilliant. If it continued too long, they wouldn’t be able to continuously beat back the people ruining the rest of Star Wars.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Stop the show leaving the fans wanting more. Otherwise you'll go on too long, and people will wonder what happened to your once great show

[@VVEGA2940]

It's a VERY good sign when the only real criticism I can give of the show is that some of tbe connective tissue between the plotting could be stronger. Literally everything else in the show is done masterfully, and truly puts the rest of DSW to shame

Hey man I gota say for someone with 90 subscribers I gota say you do good work. Crisp

Thank you!!! I still felt like I had more to say, but you certainly made my day! Thanks again

[@kevinbonilla9399]

Please keep recommending the show! Television in general needs better writing.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Speaking of trash writing, perhaps I should review Mando season 3 next

[@KenGold666]

@@actionbros.gaming5694 was it Kathleen Kennedys fault that Mando season 3 was lack lustre ?

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

It's entirely possible. That season just felt like a mess with no direction

[@Cryptosifu]

Honestly, if I was honest, I’d honestly say that this is the best Star Wars. ROTS might be tied in my opinion.

[@bowmanencore]

I can't agree with 6.5/10, but I enjoyed the video. Thanks.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

I appreciate it! What would you rank the show?

[@thesean3194]

When you stated that there is something about this show that feels different…is exactly how I felt watching this show. Different, but in a new direction, which is a breath of fresh air for the universe.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

100% agree. The best way I can explain it is it doesn't feel so "clean", or "curated". It's rough, dirty, and I appreciate that aesthetic. It feels more Star Wars that what we're seeing now

[@wowceleb]

Andor just got nominated for the Emmy's. Here's the other drama series it is competing against - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp-WgYhjoJyobas

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

It deserves it for sure

[@austingreen1274]

… One of the best shows I’ve ever seen… “6.5-7/10”???🤔 And Rogue One “isn’t terrible”??? Both were incredible!

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

I was blessed and cursed with seeing so many fantastic films and media, that when watching new material, it's a high bar to pass. Andor gets this rating for its pacing, and whatever few issues I can find. For reference, Arcane gets an 8/10, The Matrix gets a 9-9.5/10, and the closest thing to a 10/10 from me is the Fellowship of the Ring. Although I don't give anything an actual 10/10 because nothing is truly perfect. However, the LOTR Trilogy is the closest thing I've seen to be a 10/10

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Rogue One was a fun film for me, however the most memorable moments for anyone I've talked to (myself included) is the final 30 - 45 mins. The beginning does get jumbled in memory, and I'm sure there's plot issues, but I still think it's a fine addition to the Star Wars universe

[@jindrichdolejs623]

The uniform modification was a comment on how he made it look more like an empire uniforms compaoto the uniforms of the company

[@jazzx251]

7/10? - are you kidding? Evidently not. I would love to see what an 8/10 looks like

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

8/10 for me would be something like hot fuzz. Although that movie actually might squeeze out a 9/10 for me cause it's such a tight script

[@jazzx251]

@@actionbros.gaming5694 Hot Fuzz is awesome - how you can only give that 8/10 is beyond me!

[@redvibez]

10/10 easily. the writing alone brings it over 7/10 but the masterpiece of everything together is an overflowing 10/10

[@pseudonymousbeing987]

​@@actionbros.gaming5694 I'd be more interested in what television, not movies, you'd rate 8 or higher. For me Andor is at a production level vying for the singular greatest achievement on its technical fronts in all television, it looks and feels as good or better than the main saga movies. And it's no slouch in everything from acting to writing. In fact that is also all well within the range of all the greats. So I'm really curious.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

I'd say the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones could easily get an 9/10 for me. The writing for the characters, world building, the arcs and overall deep storytelling kept me binging the show, and I'm normally not one to do that 😄

[@nflr92]

In regular Star Wars, the Empire is filled with mean, uncaring but also incompetent doofuses who overcome their lack of smarts and cunning with an overwhelming advantage in equipment and numbers. Everybody hates them but is too scared to take them on or making too much money to rock the boat. The rebels, once they discover each other, all like and trust one another immediately. In Andor, regular people have to live their regular lives - go to work and earn money the best they can to feed their families and scratch out a life as best they can. They put up with the authoritarian government and the constant indignities because they can't do anything about it and what would they do, anyway? Like in any country on earth right now. Even when people get pushed over the line they didn't know was there and now they've decided that they will push back, no one trusts anyone else - ever. And with good reason. Overcoming the characters' internal conflicts as well as trusting those around them well enough to risk their lives makes for interesting storytelling. Nemek's manifesto is the soundtrack of Andor's awakening.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Very good point. I need to listen to that manifesto again

[@WillFredward7167]

This show deserved so much more attention. My favorite Star Wars content since the Original trilogy. Disney’s failure is best illustrated in the fact that this show got little attention and many called it “slow.” Disney has made people think that Star Wars is (or even *should* be) empty flashy action. That it should be cheap thrill. This disappoints me so much. Personally I give Andor a 9. I never found it slow. I drank up the atmosphere, the tension, the planning and plotting. I was so happy to see Star Wars taken so seriously, and seen from the perspective of ordinary people.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Exactly! I just watched episode 5 of Ashoka and thought, "This? Really?? This is gonna "save" Star Wars? Give me a break. Disney has devolved into just key jangling at this point

[@coda7994]

Could not agree more. Andor was a breath of fresh air

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

After just finishing Ashoka (which was dog shit), I think I'm gonna watch Andor again. I need reprieve

[@coda7994]

@@actionbros.gaming5694 I haven't started that show, I need a break Really good video, I subbed and saved some to watch later

Thank you! My Ashoka review is on the way, so stay tuned for that 🤣

[@honuman39]

Thank you for acknowledging the difference between personally liking something (the prequels) versus whether they're actually good movies (they're not). I respect that as opposed to the apologists who insist they're good movies instead of just admitting that they like them despite the badly told stories and a of lack compelling characters.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

I think it's an important distinction. I grew up with those movies, I love them. However, I should still be able to acknowledge the faults in the film

[@jackfrost3096]

Great video!

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Thank you!!!

[@palpatinesboi9549]

Only a 6.5 to a 7?! Wtf does this man consider a 10?

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

The only thing that's a 10 in my book is my wife... But the closest to a 10 would be Lord of the Rings

[@artboymoy]

I think Syril is interesting but Dedra is far more interesting and one that you root for in the beginning. Syril is a troublemaker in his orgaization. He's the guy that is shouting that more needs to be done but goes in the wrong way about it because he doesn't lead or inspire those under him. He's just bringing everyone along with him begrudgingly. Dedra on the other hand has proven her abilities to her superiors and is given the time and authority to carry out her plans. I never once rooted for Syril Karn. The the series is incredible and Rogue One is by far the best SW movie that Disney has done. It's an awesome war film.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

I totally understand! Dedra is really well written, and I can't wait to see what they do with her!

[@BeregondFirstCaptain]

Man. This is bite-sized compared to mauler and efap. This is the only show I finished and liked. I did like Mando season 1 when it came out but have been soured on it since. Season 2 helped, and 3 nailed it in the coffin.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

Watch the efap crew all the time, but I don't have the mental fortitude to make the longman videos they do. Good stuff though.

My only real nit-pick of Andor

[@Lone432345]

Best Content in 40 years, huh and yet nobody gave enough of a shit to watch it. Its hard to take people seriously when something new comes out and it automatically becomes "THE BEST THING EVER".

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

In my opinion, after a sequel trilogy that was abysmal, the laughing stock of Book of Boba Fett and Obi Wan Kenobi, and on top of that this show being about a side character from a spinoff movie, I think there're plenty of reasons why star wars fans didn't tune in. Hell, I didn't until somebody recommended it to me. Believe me I was pleasantly surprised to see it's quality

[@AgentOliver]

Syril isn’t very good at a lot of things and is a weak willed idealist. Competent isn’t a word I would use to describe him.

[@actionbros.gaming5694]

He's certainly nowhere near perfect. There are moments in the show that I appreciate from his character, mostly referencing his talk with the surveillance guy. He's certainly more competent than Thrawn in the Ashoka series

[@schmoanon1747]
