Hera is already connected to Andor through Rogue One. When the Rague Squadron are in the Rebel base, talking about next steps, a loudspeaker in the background stares “General Hera Syndulla, please report to…” I forgot where the disembodied voice told her to go, but she was on the base with Jen Urso, Cassian, Mothma, and probably many MANY more

@xavierchamberlain196423 күн бұрын
@@kenle2 Yeah, I agree that people definitely shouldn't be condescending when they make their points. Within the fanbase, people like Star Wars for different reasons, so if one group acts like its vision for Star Wars is superior to everyone else's, then they're stepping out of line. That being said, I don't think the "everything should be like Andor" argument is a bad thing on its own. After all the mediocre/bad content that the fans have had to endure over the last several years, I think it's good for fans to be able to point to a project like Andor and use it as a reminder that Star Wars CAN still be good. Andor treated its audience like adults; it didn't feel the need to spoon-feed plot-points to viewers through clumsy dialogue like almost every other recent (non-animated) Star Wars project. I know that the dialogue-heavy, "slow burn" style of Andor is a turn-off for some people, but personally, if I had to pick one recent Star Wars project that represents the best course for the future of Star Wars, I would absolutely pick Andor. I'll be curious to see what the reception to Andor season 2 is like. Since it sounds like there will be more action and more of a connection to established characters from other projects, my hope is that it will appeal to a wider audience than the first season did. That way, the people who liked the first season will (most likely) still like the second season, and the people who didn't like/didn't watch the first season will now be more interested in the second season. Ultimately, it would be great to see Star Wars fans unite in appreciation of something that they all can enjoy (kind of like with season 1-2 of The Mandalorian).

Andor doesn't really need to be connected too much, not to the level of all the other series where connections are used as fan service, it can be in the way of good storytelling. The connection I do appreciate is Saw Geurera (Forrest Whitaker) as he's instrumental in showing the differences in morals and intent of rebellion. I'm not too sure the Rebel's characters add such meaning.
