    Really slow!
    Andor is really slow. That's why they made three episodes available. But after three episodes I am still not hooked. They did not set up the main characters and storylines properly and that is why I don't care what happens to them.

    Yes, it looks nice and there are some neat ideas. And yes, it's better than Kenobi. But that's not saying much and so far this is a failure. I won't continue my subscription.
    And he fight in the factory is not well done. The badness of the fight reminded me of Kenobi.    … Expand

Is it time for the Star Wars name to be put into hibernation for a while? I think so with more and more Disney noise than the name was ever intended for. Much like Star Trek the spider web has grown too big for the spiders that do inhabit the land to which they live in..    … Expand

    Positives: finally a star wars show doing something different. The tone is a departure from the norm and much more serious.

    Negatives: it is boring

It looks better than Boba Fett for sure, but visuals are no longer enough to excuse a poor script with no passion nor hope for future episodes.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Meh
    So I've just finished watching the first 3 episode and it's meh, cinematography isn't great wich in my opinion was necessary for such a cult sci-fi franchise like star wars, the acting is ok, the casting was obviously ideologically driven as in they probably selected some actors more based on their ethno-cultural background rather than actual talent. The story so far is just ok wich isn't great for such a franchise, it feels like any other tv show, there's also apparent woke agitprop since part of the story so far is about evil white people unsustainably exploiting ressources on foreign world at the expense of native indigenous non white (the bad guys are white, the good guys are POC with female leaders). I'm not sure I'll watch next episode unless I hear it got interesting, so far it have been a slow start with not much action going on until the end od episode 3.    … Expand

    It was not terrible, like most of the other things Disney did to Star Wars was. But damn, is it boring.

    The rebellion at Disney will never end... Actually, these opening parts only reinforced my idea that this movie is like Rogue One. The story that no one wanted or needed.
    The characters are also very boring and unfortunately completely uninteresting. Even Daisy Ridley's Rey character has remained more enduring...But there were also problems, not small ones... I didn't think that with a Star Wars story, after the first 7 minutes, I had to look at my watch to see how much time was left in the episode.
    Those who liked Disney's previous works will surely like this one. However, for those who liked Lucas' works and the best series of recent years (The Mandalorian), I don't think this will be a permanent work for them in the long run.    … Expand

    Painfully slow and bland
    Not a single imaginative or inventive character, alien, location, ship or droid. Could easily cut 20 mins out of the first 3 episodes. Incompetent office who shouts at his subordinates like the sequels, with no subtlety at all.
    Shaky cam in the action scenes, which aren't particularly exciting either. OK, the aim was to be a more 'adult tone', but does that mean    Painfully slow and bland

    OK, the aim was to be a more 'adult tone', but does that mean it has to be bland? Where are the iconic lines of dialogue that people are going to quote?
    In the space of 90 minutes of 'content' there isn't a single line that people will remember. Being bland is not how Star Wars became a massive franchise
    I heard this described as the side salad to a side salad, and that about sums it up.    … Expand

    Slow Wars - An Andor Story
    Andor is literally the most boring Start Wars i have ever watched, and its such a shame as i was looking forward to it. Ive just sat here and watch 3 episodes, and i honestly can't see me bothering with any more. To say the pacing is slow, is understatement. The main character goes to a place, has a conversation, then goes to another place and does the same.    Slow Wars - An Andor Story

The main character goes to a place, has a conversation, then goes to another place and does the same. Very little else happens of any significance until the last 10 minuets of episode 3. With some decent editing, you could easily combine 120 minuets (3 episodes) into 30 minuets of story. In edition to the slow pace, the acting and casting choices seem questionable at best. Some actors are wooden, where as others are hamming it up to the max. The only real positive i can add us that the CGI and sets look good, but thats about it. Such a shame to start on such a low for what could have been a promising series,    … Expand

    Boring, it looks good but that's not enough, disney continues with putting current politics into its series and movies, they could do much better than this, it's a shame to see how they mistreat the star wars trilogy with your mediocre deliveries, I'm sorry but disney sucks and star wars is dead to me.

Movies and series take dedication, creativity and artistic inspiration, but for Disney it's all about getting the next thing out there as soon as possible.

    Well this series is another flop. So boring many forgot about the fourth episode even being released.

    A show that’s more concerned with portraying life under an oppressive system than with inspiring awe, Andor is an unusually mature entry in the Star Wars franchise. It’s a confident and sophisticated drama that asks for—and rewards—a grown-up kind of patience.

    Creator Tony Gilroy is best known for Michael Clayton, but so far this series feels more like his Bourne Legacy, another franchise offshoot where the ambient world-building is more exciting than the main characters.

    It is a darker, more grown-up approach, although it is slow. Actually, in the first two episodes it's too slow. Diego Luna, reprising his role as the brooding, narky Cassian Andor, is the charismatic fulcrum to this story.
