Awful company run by awful people.

Disney corporation keeps putting out series and movies under the premise that more is better but it is tiresome and quality pays dearly. This show is less childish than the rest but it is still a "family" thing like all things streaming these days.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Extremely boring, watching the paint dry is more exciting.
Only 3 episodes have any potential. Exactly 6, 10 and 12.
It took them 3 episodes to introduce the main character to the viewers.

So... 5 episodes into Andor and I'm still wondering if anything is going to happen.

I'm not sure why there's a following for this show.

The production is good, overall, but the writing is pretty terrible. The visuals, cinematography and score are pretty great. It feels like you're watching a movie. The dialogue is written well, but it's much to do about nothing... the acting is fine, but the characters are taking us nowhere fast. The sub-plots/side stories are pretty meaningless.

If not for the name of the show, I wouldn't even know this was Star Wars. It feels more like Krypton, but with less action... which is not a good thing. Krypton drudged along at a snail's pace with equally meaningless drivel, but at least there was a story that moved forward with action sequences and conflicts that meant something.

I think I've seen maybe 3 droids, 2 aliens, and zero alien creatures. How is this Star Wars and how is it remotely entertaining for people?

Look at the poster... looks pretty exciting right? It's not. Bait and switch.

Why the good reviews, then?

I think some have been beaten down with so much **** material, over the last few years, that they'll just accept anything that has good production value and zero wokeness as "good."

Andor isn't good. It suffers from weak writing, sub-plots that lead nowhere and provides zero reason for anyone new to Star Wars or Andor to remain engaged. I can't get the comparison of this to Krypton out of my head, because the two shows are very similar.

If you have to say "it's slow, but it's building up to something big" or "it's a slow burn, but it's good," or something along those lines, then it's not a good show. A good show shouldn't seem like a slow burn, or that it's building up to something big... it should give you a reason to become engaged and hang on. Even Star Trek or Babylon 5 could do that in 1-2 episodes... We're 5 episodes into Andor and nothing's happened.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring. Boring. Boring. I'm four episodes into this series and all I know is that dude's name is Cassian Andor and that he's Kelarian, and looking for his sister, but then it turned into him trying to sell an innocuous stolen ship part for money, and now he's joining the rebels to steal Empire money and forgetting about the sister. Every line of dialogue with every character is "Who are you?", "Why is he joining us?", "You're a Klerian?", "That's not the plan", "That's not what I was told", "Give me money", and "Who are you?", and nothing that gives us any insight to the plot. All the leaders are female and overly questioning/distrusting of Cassian's existence in every scene. Look, you are either need him or you kill him if you're that suspicious. But why him? Why Cassian Andor? He's literally every generic background character on these planets. Apparently he's Kelarian, which is a noticeable trait. A flashback showed Andor's childhood as a Klerian, and they are actually a child tribal race that has zero technology, no civilization. Even the Ewoks on Endor had buildings. They fight using blow darts, BLOW DARTS! Against actual weapons. They don't even have spears or knives. And of course, its led by alpha girl-boss teenage girls, the boys just simply fall in line behind them. An imperial ship crashes and a basic soldier is able to take out members of this Klerian tribe, while 30-40 of these Klerian kids shoot blow darts at him which takes forever to take him out. And the Empire comes and takes out all the Klerian with no resistance. Andor is saved by some old **** named Maarva who spent her life keeping his Klerian identity a secret, why? Klerians are no threat to anyone. They have no abilities and no technology like a Mandalorian or even Mon Calamari. Like every modern Star Wars antagonist Andor lives a predictable rough life with no parents, and gets by stealing ship parts for money. Apparently, the Empire thinks very highly of this basic component which Andor later says becomes useless if it's plugged in or used. So then we change the stakes to Andor being recruited by some old dude who tells Andor "I know who you are Cassian Andor" and doesn't tell us anything else. And like every other male in the cast he answers to a woman. Expand

Aside from some very good acting, this is possibly the most boring thing I've seen coming out of the franchise. Waste of time.

This series was never going to be vital watching in the Star Wars canon, but it seems the creators are more than content to make a meaningless piece of backstory as there is no real interesting hook or twist to make viewers care. Andor himself just kind of gets thrown into the story and goes along with it. The antagonists are just about as wooden and generic as you can get in Star Wars. I don't care about them and don't care about how Andor holds up against them. We all know exactly how this story ends so they might have done more to make us interested in what is happening right now. But everything is done with such a dreary tone it has missed a lot of what makes Star Wars fun and exciting. Sure, Rogue One was a more serious and dark Star Wars story, but it also did a great job connecting to A New Hope with some fan favorite characters and intersecting plot. Andor has none of that, and if you did not know his character from Rogue One there is little connection to the larger Star Wars universe for fans to sink their teeth into. All of this would be fine if it was telling an interesting original story with characters we cared about, but sadly that is not the case. This does not feel like a good Star Wars story or a good story on its own right, and Andor is certainly not a strong enough character to carry a bland and meaningless story like this on his own.

Mature doesn't need to be boring, but Andor tries as HARD as possible to bore the absolute **** out of the audience, with 7 of the 8 current episodes ending on flat notes, devoid of any legitimate curiosity for the next installment. This isMature doesn't need to be boring, but Andor tries as HARD as possible to bore the absolute **** out of the audience, with 7 of the 8 current episodes ending on flat notes, devoid of any legitimate curiosity for the next installment. This is as forgettable as it gets; the writers and the directors don't have a clue about Star Wars. George Lucas, JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, Irvin Kirshner, Richard Marquand; these guys followed Lucas' vision of a rich galaxy, full of wizardry, adventure, battles amongst the stars, alien planets with ACTUAL aliens, and entertaining droids abound. None of that will be found here, as most of the so-called spectacle of this series centers around a bunch of talking heads, speaking in the extremely condescending, yet unrealistic, cryptic ways, to one another. If you all want mature, mysterious, brooding, thrilling, yet something that still gets a laugh often (this show hasn't an inkling of humor in it), then watch something like... Twin Peaks, but leave Andor to the trash compactor of the Death Star, where it belongs. Expand

The source material has already established a massive fan base, and the story is already written. All they have to doI don't know what it is, modern feminists or woke equity politics, but how do you do such a bad job with something so easy. The source material has already established a massive fan base, and the story is already written. All they have to do is transcribe it from book to screen, and you'd have the best show of the decade. It's so simple. You have to be a extremely bad writer/director/producer to make something so great so bad. It's also extremely unethical to take someone's life's work and change the source material with such disrespect. Then, just to make everything so much worse, you add on top of that fan baiting. Fan Baiting is done on purpose to not only stir up controversy for publicity but also serves as a barrier to real criticism and ensures that the show will succeed because if anyone has a different opinion, they will just be labeled as a "racist/sexist/transphobe/etc." and their opinion is ignored. It's a method to make everyone think you're virtuous when really you're just a horrible person spreading hate with anyone who has a different opinion than your own. You act like you're fighting fascism by spreading and using fascism. It's hypocrisy in action. Expand

діалоги - ні про що, це просто філлери. сюжет - ні про що. повний метр "Хан Соло" - просто шедевр у порівнянні з цим шматом лайна.
крім напису Star Wars на початку, та імені Кассіана Андора в цьому шоу ви не знайдете АБСОЛЮТНО НІЧОГО, що ріднить це з великою франшизою Лукаса. тут навіть soundsamples інші.
якщо ви справжній прихильник "ЗВ" - не дивіться, не піддавайте себе тортурам!
