And _The Mandalorian_ has had some great moments. I've enjoyed it a lot. But _Andor_ is up on a different level.

[@Migzter05]

The best Star Wars Disney plus show by far hands down. Mando is great in a visual and action heavy kinda way, but this just elevates with its dialogue, themes, and its fantastic screenplay!

Usually interviewers gaslight celebs, but in this case I 1,000% endorse his sentiment. This show has been leaps and bounds beyond my expectations

yeah its weird cuz i imagine the actors think they're saying the same shit to every show (which they often do), but ik many of the Star Wars youtubers when they say it, they really do mean it

@@GuineaPigEveryday it's so true. Nobody hates star wars more than Star Wars fans. So when a star wars fan praises your work, you've nailed it.

[@KS-cz9qc]

Andor’s quality is on a completely different level from any other Star Wars project I’ve ever seen. I still love my other SW movies and shows as well, but this show just transports and immerses you in a way the others don’t.

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

I do like that this show evokes the original trilogy in that the imperials are often British and the rebels often American or non-British for that matter, not absolutely but it is noticeable, and I find it funny that the two rich Chandrilan's posing as simple imperial citizens, who are secretly rebels are also both Irish. Dedra Meero ofc isn't, but also the main rebels and oppositionists are composed of Indian, Mexican actors too. The Aldhani team also has a British-Irish person, and another American actor. Whereas all the imperials are often blindingly British types just like the original trilogy.

[@colinmorrison5119]

@@GuineaPigEveryday Dedra Meero is played by Denise Gough, who is Irish, if that's what you meant? This series mines deep into British imperial history (Aldhani was filmed in the Scottish Highlands, so in-show reference to highland clearances was a matter of real local history), so Irish, Scottish (Diego Luna is half-Scot) and Indian representation is apposite. Also note that their are different classes of British accent. The Imperials are typically RP, associated with upper classes, whereas the workers in Ferrix like Braso have working class accents.

@@GuineaPigEveryday Being on the other end of discrimination in film is often and unsavory feeling all the "others" you mentioned have had to endure for scores of decade. Even in the Kenobi series with the formidable character who was a woman and who was Black - ugh being told repeatedly throughout the series that she was from the "gutter" and came from nothing - what tired tropes. The "Arab-looking" boy who sought revenge on the Empire intricately shown at the last episode of Andor, building a bomb - how exhausting for audiences who have been this minority in film to constantly be forced to reactivate these tired stereotypes. So--- "we know how you feel" - it's exhausting to be portrayed on screen collectively as kind of negative or ill-equipped or even less-than and this is just a taste of it for you...

There's something always of nice riding with Diego as a protagonist - his quiet, vulnerable resilience - it' just unique from our "brash and noble" heroes in American style story. His approach is humble but steadfast, and present and salt of the earth.

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

I really gotta hand it to the actors on this show, and by extension those writing and directing them. I love Genevieve's take on acting in SW and the fans. She was cast for Mon largely because she looks so much like the prior actress, yet has she proven herself more than worthy of the role. The grace and subtlety with which she handles Mon is amazing. I've also been extremely impressed with Denise as well. Haven't seen any of her live action work before, but man is Dedra such a cold, calculating, and intimidating character. Entirely different person to the one you see sitting in the interview. Everyone else has been great too, but those two especially just rose out of relative obscurity into commanding performances here.

[@noone-ld7pt]

holy god this show is so fucking good this far

What makes me happy here is seeing the actors expressing their joy about this show. You can tell that they really enjoy being on the set and that they appreciate the director, the sets and the whole aesthetic.

Mando is great fun but Andor is next level work. It has truly amazing acting and writing with full size sets and lots of on location stuff that makes everything look and feel real.

[@gt96g]

I think Disney has discovered how to make Star Wars work for them. Be original, leave the old characters behind, grow the universe. Mando, Andor, Rogue One, these were and are their best so far and they share that in common, for the most part.

This gentleman once brought me a glass of wine to replace the one that had destroyed my white shirt at a SW Celebration. I spent my early childhood in Mexico and god love my parents who gave the gift of a second language. He was amazed and we had a brief and everlasting chat. I have waited 43 years for this astonishing series, and it is more than I had ever wished for (and insisted existed). I spent an hour sobbing on the 23rd. I felt as though I had lost my mother all over again. Beinvenidos, Cassian, Te Amor mucho.

[@joebear1964]

This is the Star Wars we needed! More, More, MORE!

[@jasonprince8655]

This show is flying under the radar. This is a great show and probably in my opinion the best StarWars show.

[@TormodSteinsholt]

That is so true with Syril. Syril is obsessed with Cassian. Cassian is not particularily aware of Syril. So, you might even argue that the show is about Syril reflecting on the crossroads where Cassian is merely an externalization of the inner conflict. Cassian is like the unruly rascal that the well mannered kid is looking to for reasons he does not quite comprehend himself. Syril clearly has an internal compass in that he wants the authoritarian model to work "as intended" rather than as a platform for corruption and personal ambition. Even though he consistently faces superiors who has long ago dropped such pretense. I think Syril could easily be a rebel, but not in its ragtag presentation in its simple beginnings.

[@jackiepike1466]

[@stargazer5073]

[@sebadrum16]

Love Diego Luna and Andor, but to me, the best part of the show has been the rest of the cast. Particularly Dedra, Mon and Qyburn from GoT

[@h-minus2212]

I totally endorse the first statement from the interviewer - this series is one of the best shows I have ever viewed. I feel what is at stake through excellent dialogue and acting and the casting is spot on. Each actor is believable as the character they portray. To paraphrase Forest Whitaker - let's call it great.

[@eXtremeFX2010]

I can tell you Rogue One fixed so many unanswered questions about the "in betweens and unknowns" about the Star Wars Universe that it re-energized me. A feeling I had not felt since Empire Strikes Back. And for that Andor builds Rogue One even greater. Absolutely the best One - Two punch the SW prequels needed to make a story complete going into New Hope. Absolutely fantastic writing/creative and acting by everyone !

[@she_who_dares9713]

The irony if it all that it took removing the jedi to finally make a really good Star Wars Tv Series lol.

[@BoardWalkToke]

These actors are so damn lucky to be apart of this star wars project. There is a reason I liked Rogue One so much over the other Star wars films and Andor is what I've always wanted in a Star Wars film instead of constantly playing it safe. Anything else will not be as good in contrast anymore.

[@emendez3809]

I agree, this show has surpassed my expectations and it has been one of the best directed Star Wars shows up there with episodes 4,5 movies. Tony Gilroy deserves some recognition and an award of some type for Andor. I just hope Disney is listening to the great praise this show is getting from us fans. I hope more Star Wars content is written like Andor in the future…. 👍🏻

Andor is neck and neck with the Mandalorian. The only problem with Mando is that there were filler episodes where Andor had none. Each episode of Andor was it's own masterpiece. I love the fact that the parts that Andor was making in the prison was for the Death Star in which Andor is killed by it in Rogue One. Andor helped create what killed him. Andor deserves more praise than what's receiving.

[@DanHildebrand91]

Andor feels like a true longform narrative. Mando is cool, but Andor feels so much more mature.

I don't see why we can't have our Man With No Name/mysterious bounty hunter-themed show, and also this gem of a new show, done so well and with so much love. The Star Wars universe is just all the richer for having both these shows-and I think the Ahsoka show could be amazing too; really looking forward to that.

want more of this. Denise's (Dedra's) comment about their characters joining the Imperials because of their aversion to dirt was classic! the one thing that bothers me about Star Wars overall is how their rush every thing. Andor should be allowed to breathe a little more and give it three seasons instead of two -and done. Writer Beau Willimon is great at layering a series and making it flower across a longer timeline - that's what should be done in this series as well. When is Luthen's story going to be told? We need a solid story based right on Coruscant, There's so much more to unpack and learn with Dedra's nemesis on her staff and his spy "dealings" as well.

Andor easily became the best executed SW of all time in terms of writing, directing, acting, dialogues etc.. And the best SW since ESB/ROTS - while trying something completly new in the franchise Its of course a slower paced espionage thriller instead a fast space-western, far more grounded, darker and filled with grey layers than the other shows and touches its own audience with this - so i can understand its not everybody's (SW) taste and not every future SW show needs to go down this direction - But the overall quality of the work by all involved people set the bar (not only for SW) very very high. I really hoped after all the other Disney shows - Andor would be the try to do something darker and more serious - and it was far more delivered than expected. Andor is some very special show which i will remember for a while.
