Hello there

[@NolanWins]

only was able to watch the 1st episode before work, I liked it though

[@alexperaza9475]

Just in terms of dialogue and acting, that scene with the security officer and his commander dressing him down and putting him in his place is maybe the best written and most sophisticated scene of any Star Wars media I've ever seen. Very smart and snappy back and forth, completely engaging and it says so much about this world without spelling anything out. And in general, I've never seen such fleshed out minor characters in an SW show or movie. Even characters with very little dialogue feel like real people in a real world. Really digging this, I think it's already my favorite SW series.

[@TheKat12364]

Absolutely. That scene and the scene with Andor and his friend making an alibi was perfect.

[@ConcordD0m]

I loved how different this is to everything else in Star Wars. Had a way more Mass Effect/Blade Runner vibe I really dug. The security force are also a great foil to Cassian.

[@Iden_Elihio_1999]

I KNEW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT OF BLADE RUNNER !!!

[@arkarmoethouk2445]

Cyberpunk: Night City vibes too. Corpos everywhere.

[@Brook11223]

I am almost done watching the 3rd episode on Disney Plus now and the story picks up pretty well for Cassian, Luthen and the rest of the characters. I love how they juxtapose Cassian's backstory to the present time with adult Cassian. The young actor playing Cassian in the flashbacks was picked by Diego and learnt how to speak English while filming this series. Diego mentored him.

[@kadegetslaid634]

Episode three was litteraly one of my favourite pieces of starwars media ever

[@klass_1221]

3rd episode is my favorite so far. I really like this series so far. Better than Obi-Wan and The Book of Boba Fett. Feels like a Blade Runner series.

[@jjstarrprod]

Great piece of trivia about Diego Luna handpicking this kid and mentoring him. That's almost a movie's story in itself.

[@alexlazzerly3677]

I love how Andor isn't afraid to straight up kill at point blank. They kept it consistent to how he was in Rogue One.

[@TheAOTSdude]

This Andor is no where near the ruthlessness that he is in Rogue One

[@Jabberwocky415]

He was definitely afraid, he just did it anyway. This is a different Cassian, but he’s on the track to becoming what we know.

[@writershard5065]

Actually I felt the whole point was that he was afraid. He's human. He didn't actually want to kill those men, but you can see the seed of who he becomes in that he kills him because he knows he has no other choice now.

[@NikstSWE]

Love the fact that the corporate boss actually solved the case, he was right about every thing he said. He just doesn't care to bring the "dark featured man" in, he just wants it out of the statistics. Hes no dummy.

[@jankyyard5610]

We finally have a NOT DUMMY corporate boss character. He's a corporate boss for a reason!

[@sithddy7208]

Blade Runner vibes all throughout!! It’s what Star Wars has been needing for a while now. The grittiness to everything makes the world feel so lived in.

[@thenerdywave2007]

This show was so great to watch, and Diego Luna is doing a great job in this show

[@destructo6t942]

The first three episodes are absolutely amazing. The most mature and grounded piece of film in Star Wars history. These characters have a much wider range of emotion than ever before too. There's a serious sense of fear lurking in every scene. Being discovered by the Empire or those corporate police actually feels terrifying this time, instead of just a minor inconvenience like other films or TV iterations. I have a feeling the Rebellion is actually going to feel like an actually risky and morally ambiguous uprising in this series, rather than just "the good guys". I'll say it now: This series might shape up to be the best iteration of Star Wars on film ever. Feels like the exact kind of thing I've been waiting for since I was young. The potential for this series just went way, way up.

[@jjstarrprod]

Legit felt that these 12 men squads from a local police force felt more menacing in one episode of 30 mins than the entirety of all platoons of droids or stormtroopers across all 10 movies (counting Rogue One).

[@saiyan24]

Yesss!!! I freaking loved this!! I finished all three, this show is so gripping! Diego Luna is absolutely fantastic in this. These are great characters that I want to know more of.

[@Major98]

The slower pace, setting and atmosphere is really good. The world building is the best we've seen in these live action Disney+ shows imo and that's just off three episodes

[@a.firkaly6548]

This is the first Disney plus show that feels like a real show. Doesn’t rely on the Star Wars or marvel franchises to hold it up. I’m hooked

[@ryanlittle5919]

“Hey remember that guy Cassian? He stole the plans for the death star and helped save the galaxy!” “Hey, that dude owed me 50 bucks!”

[@themarvelman7104]

This first episode of Andor was incredible! It felt like no other Star Wars show, it’s tone was so unique and dreary which I think fits this era and this character so perfectly. Not to mention just how visually pleasing this show looks too, it feels like such a lived in world and the color scheme really matches with the dreary kind of tone. And from just these first three episodes I am already loving the story that they are going with for the show and how everything is such a slow burn which really gives you a lot of time to feel the relationships between the characters and gives the audience enough time to truly feel connected to them. And from just his first scene alone, I already loved B2EMO.

[@brianstill516]

Just finished all 3 episodes and I'm hooked! Can't wait for more. You guys are quick with the content. Haha Perfect timing. 👌

[@AFC-ef4gs]

It's funny that even though the old "police chief" (for lack of a better title) seemed like he just wanted to cover up the deaths of his officers he is in fact just experienced enough to know that they were dodgy and probably brought it on themselves. He nailed exactly what happened to them.

[@TransitOfMarsOfficial]

This series is shaking up to be my favourite of all the Disney+ SW shows so far. I’m loving the more grounded & gritty tone, and the cinematography/score helps heighten that so well. What really gets me is that it feels like such a personal story set underneath the formation of a galactic rebellion, right under the nose of the Empire. I’m instantly hooked.

[@vinsanity40k]

it seems like the audience is divided. one half is saying "this is star wars?" and the other half is saying "**this** is star wars!" 😄

[@GingerGeek7567]

I love that the first few minutes you already get the vibe on what the show gonna be like.. Me likey !!! Diego is soooo good and he’s gorgeous. Also love his little droid!!! Great reaction guys x

[@mr.moviemafia]

This show honestly felt more like it was set in the world of Blade Runner than Star Wars. I immediately thought after the logo and the opening shot that Andor looks so much better, more cinematic and tangible than the other SW series so far, I love it.

[@TK-Chicane]

Seeing a lot of people call the show slow. And to be fair it is, but this is what star wars needed. The pace of the show immerses you in the world and characters and allows you to connect with them more. Best modern star wars project so far

[@andrew-jv7iv]

Star Wars for fans who grew up. Finally.

[@ohtrueyeahnah]

Incredible show. Loved the conversation with Brasso. So happy to see that it's not set on another Desert planet.

[@Beaumo66]

Happy you guys felt the way I did.. I think Andor is starting off so well, and I was so invested in this damn show! The episodes flew by.. Can't wait to see the rest of the season.

[@tweak991]

Having watched all 3 episode this morning, this is the stuff that I've been wanting to see since Rogue One gave us a taste of what happens when you take the SW seriously. Amazing, brutal, beautiful. I hope they can keep it up!

[@louisberry4403]

This is a well done pilot that sets the stage for the rest of the show. Diego is great and love the journey the character is going on. Love the gritty and raw tone this has like Rogue One. Hope to get more of a face pace tone like Ep 3 has going forward. This feels more like a film than a show. Loving the show so far and can't wait for the rest.

Carzy how the two anticipated shows in Boba Fett and Obi-Wan ended up disapointing whereas The Mandolorian and Andor so far have delivered.

[@DazHotep6EQUJ5]

The first three episodes were very gripping, I couldn't have asked for more.

[@samueltan2662]

Always been concerned about a Star Wars show taking a darker, more mature tone - concerned that it wouldn't feel like Star Wars or out of place. This was SO not the case; didn't feel different, just grown!

[@lisamccoy6514]

Love love love !!! Well so much for waiting till after work thank you guys ! 💖💖💖💖

[@foulrot]

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.

[@espenstoro]

I can see how it might not be for everyone. It's a slow burn, but it's wonderfully tense and bleak, you can feel it building over the 3 episodes. We're really feeling what it's like to live in this world, no wonder why the people would rebel against the empire. It's not "fun" so far, and that's a welcome change. Adult Star Wars ftw!

[@echo.echo08]

This is so far my favorite among the Star Wars spin-offs including the animated ones. I love heist-type adventures and this show had plenty of that in just one season. Just like with Rogue One, I came in blind and came out very pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it more than even some of the films in the Skywalker saga and other anthology Star Wars canons. I can't wait for the next season and I'm especially excited to see K-2SO.

[@lisamarieligreci-newton7804]

Interestingly, for both Kenobi and BOBF I found the first episodes to be the strongest - I'm fine with that kind of slow moving, character study type thing. (I get why for BoBF some people just weren't into that, but I would have been fine if they had actually spent more time with the Tuskens). The middle episodes/pacing in both series were a bit of a slump for me and had similar rushed pacing/plotting issues imo, and I enjoyed the finales. I still really liked both of them, but I agree this just feels much different, although I think that is in part because I have really no expectations and they have a lot more freedom to really play around in a new part of the galaxy away from Tatooine and the Skywalker legacy baggage (I love all that stuff, but it does also carry a lot of...responsibility). I was really excited for this show as soon as they announced it years ago and was surprised to see how many people were complaining about it, so I am glad to see that so far it's gotten a pretty good reception. (To me the point was never really Andor himself, but just the whole milieu he came from.)

Dog Garnit ! What a start ! Same as Greg, when they announced this series like, a couple of years ago, after the success of the Mandalorian and announcing Book of Boba Fett, by fan favorite Robert Rodriguez, Obiwan, by Mandalorian celebrated alumni Deborah Chow, and Andor by Tony Gilroy, I was super pumped for the other 2, and was like ... WTF ? do we need a backstory for one of the least likeable characters of the otherwise great Rogue One who ends up dying in it anyway ? I mean, you wanna make a prequel about memorable characters in Rogue One, give me Donnie Yen's character Chimrut ! Fast forward 2 years later, and oh boy ! How the tables have turned !? Book of Boba was such a hit and miss, Obiwan was just such a big wet fart... And Andor grab you by the balls right from the get go and tightens its grip all along the ride ! Compared to these 2 other series, Andor almost feels like comparing House of the Dragon level of quality to She Hulk ! This show is so embarrasingly good and grounded compared to the other 2 (and even the rest of star Wars) that it almost feels like it's in a completely different universe altogether, far removed from Star Wars. The very beginning do feel a lot like a mix between Tron Legacy and Blade Runner, not exactly bad influences if you wanna play into scifi. Only need some Akira in it and it would have been the perfect mix (although Obiwan did that for episode 2, to little effect other than stylistic). Cautiously optimistic about this series, since the other aforementioned series also started with a strong opening, but I got the feeling we're into good hands, here. Super pumped to see how this goes out. PS : Also props to the music ! I've never heard of Nicolas Britel before, but like Ludwig Goransson before him on the Mandalorian, he managed to create a whole musical universe with its own identity within the Star Wars franchise, and after the disappointment from Natalie Hoult on Obiwan (after she managed a formidably memorable soundtrack on Loki, so Obiwan's soundtrack was kinda a letdown), that feat is extremely commendable and welcome !
