Best Thing Star Wars Has Done in Years

"The rebellion is not here anymore, it's flown away. It's everywhere now."

The worst part about Andor is that I don't think Disney will learn the right lessons from it. Andor finally had me excited to see Star Wars again. Every week I was looking forward to it. I miss that about Star Wars.

The fact that it was supposed to be 4 additional seasons and they crammed it into one, and it STILL turning out fantastic is a testament to how good the writing is.

"I burn my life to make a sunrise I know I will never see." The writing and cast are beautiful and I weep tears of artistic satisfaction.

I actually liked that Andor did not find his sister. Especially knowing what happens in Rogue One. He dies for something bigger than himself. Something he won’t ever see

Andor is the TV show equivalent of "let him cook". Even if the first few episodes don't grip your attention straight away, they're always building to something.

It's being called "The Death Star Saga". Andor Season 1, Andor Season 2, Rogue One, and A New Hope.

People forget that the FIRST MOVIE has Darth Vader strangling people to death, Luke's family gets burned alive in their home, and the Death Star completely destroys an entire planet killing billions of people. Star Wars has always been dark

“Calm. Kindness. Kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at inner peace. I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to fight, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost and by the time I looked down there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything!”

He loves this show so much that he's describing the entire plot, point by point. I don't think I've ever seen him this animated about something. Feels validating.
