Today I had the whole day off to do nothing other than get a massage this morning, and I finally worked up the gumption to watch "Star Wars: Andor". Loving it so far! 🙂#television #streaming #StarWars #TV #spaceopera #scifi #sciencefiction #thoughts #critique

@adamasnemesis Yeah, Andor is amazing. Definitely what we were hoping for from Obi Wan and Boba Fett but didn't really get. My wife thinks it's too gloomy and oppressive, but I think that's the point.

@adamasnemesis I like that there's no Force or Jedi, it's gritty pew pew Star Wars.

@brianstecklermusic I actually found Obi-Wan to be too gloomy and oppressive, whereas I think Andor hits it just right. It's certainly on the darker end of the Star Wars spectrum, mind you, but it is literally called "the Dark Times", so...

Now that I've seen all nine episodes released to date, I definitely like "Andor" better than any Star Wars since "Revenge of the Sith". It's been that long since I actually loved a new Star Wars on first impression, so I'd almost forgotten how good that feels.#television #streaming #StarWars #TV #spaceopera #scifi #sciencefiction #thoughts #critique

Oh, and pay no attention to those who say "it doesn't feel like Star Wars"; I haven't seen anything this Star-Wars-y since "The Clone Wars". Andor draws on the same sort of sources, politics, and styles George Lucas did while not being a rehash of what we've seen before.#television #streaming #StarWars #TV #spaceopera #scifi #sciencefiction #thoughts #critique

@adamasnemesis I'm a very lightweight #starwars fan, but I've really enjoyed Andor, Bobba Fett, and The Mandalorean,

@adamasnemesis I know the term "gritty" is way overused, but that's what describes Andor for me. I also find it fascinating that we know from go there's no happy ending in store.

@adamasnemesis It may be a while before I can see it, but Rogue One was my favorite Star Wars movie since the Episode 1-3 trilogy, and this appears to be in the same vein. Would you agree?

@adamasnemesis I have the impression that many of those who complain about new films and TV series have only seen the original series, when they were in primary school, and have not understood it

Today I watched the last three episodes of "Star Wars: Andor", completing the first season. *Really* good, from start to finish. IMO best Star Wars since "Revenge of the Sith", and indeed the only Star Wars project since then that I've actually liked.#television #streaming #StarWars #TV #spaceopera #scifi #sciencefiction #thoughts #critique

I really appreciated how gradual the build up was, and all the characters were just so well written. And those sets had some serious detail to them. First rate TV absolutely, I want more immediately
