Just watched all 3 episodes. agreed it's a slow start but patience, patience everyone :)  Watched as a complete series I think we'll all appreciate the slow build up to a great finish

I've got ALOT of time for this story arc- it's pretty much the only thing I like from Disney star wars.  Loved season 1 and the film makers are very capable so I'm looking forward to the next installments

I'm not holding out much hope for Rogue Squadron or Rian Johnson's trilogy. Even Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie feels like a coin toss at this point - 50/50 whether it ever sees the light of day.

So far, there's been radio silence on a slew of promised Star Wars projects: the Lando series, Simon Kinberg's trilogy, Rian's trilogy, Taika's film, Rogue Squadron, Droid Story, and Dawn of the Jedi. If things continue this way, I wouldn't be surprised if they quietly disappear from the slate before the year wraps up.

And does anyone still remember that trilogy the Game of Thrones creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, were once set to helm? That one seemed to vanish before it even got off the ground.

At this rate, the Star Wars galaxy might be expanding more in rumours than in actual productions.

I've noticed the same- the Marvel franchise seems to be in a similar state as well. I think it's just waning interest in the big established franchises, so the studios are having to make a few cuts. I'm not that cut up about it to be honest, Star Wars was getting to crowded for me anyways. Just glad we got the second season of Andor, that's enough for me :)

I think it's the classic thing of over egging it, they over grazed the land. If they approached these big IPs with a bit more caution they'd ultimately get more out of them in the long term.

I've enjoyed the first three, they promise greater things to come.

I do really hate the chopping between scenes the directer of episode three uses to try and augment tension between totally unrelated sub plots, that's really annoying.

On the whole, looking forward to the next three.

That's a good point Nozza.  I love this series but would I want all of SW to be like Andor?  Not really? Having different directors do different styles of SW is a cool idea; I just think the whole thing needed more curating.

I would like to see the following though:

* A hard miliitary sci fi star wars tv series- rogue 1 is closest but in a tv format would be great.  Hmmm maybe that is rogue squadron.......but I was thinking more a SW treatment of "enemy at the gate" or "band of brothers"....
* George's original sequel trilogy arc - George apparently had an outline for the last trilogy. I'd like to see this brought to screen in some way.  Even if it wasn't very good it wouldn't matter to me; it would be his original 3 trilogy story I'd love to know what he intended

Enjoyed the first three episodes. Bit slow but can see it's going to explode at some point. So nice to watch something not about Jedi and show more of the star wars universe. Already getting some new ideas for gaming SW.

No singing droids or dancing wookies. So it was good three episodes as a start. In episode three some interesting cuts and switches, I was surprised about the artificial quality. Maybe there is some hope for SW from Disney.

I do like that this show makes the SW universe feel bigger not smaller :)

Of all the people you could list doing a SW cameo, Thierry Godard wouldn't be high on it  8)

He was great  8)

Certainly a thousand times better than the Jack Black/Lizzo cameo in Mandalorian {shudders}

Erm, no. It's a Parisian cop show.
