ANDOR Season 2 (Possible Spoilers)

Agreed.

The highlight for me was the neverending wedding dance
I mean I know it's not real, but if people the age of Mon Mothma danced continually with non-stop whirling at wedding receptions for half an hour or so, they'd collapse. Just saying.

Other aspects were far less far-fetched 

The actress is 48yrs old. It's not that old... and there are plenty of dancers who still can do that. Plus it may have been shot in one take for a couple of mins, it's just a few seconds of sliced clip each time.

I might be in the minority here, but I actually really enjoyed Tales of the Underworld. I know most people seem to prefer the Cad Bane trilogy, but I thought the Asajj Ventress episodes were great too. The animation looked amazing, some of the best we’ve seen in Star Wars animation. Sure, the storytelling was a bit uneven, and not every episode landed the same way, but overall, I liked how it explored the galaxy’s criminal underworld. It added some cool new layers to the lore.

Nope, I'm with you. Clone Wars handled that era far better than Lucas did with the prequel trilogy. The emotional aspect was far better and subtle.

The way Annakin was 'turned' and how some of his philosophy was inspired by Obi Wan, who also got into trouble at times, adds so much depth to the two characters and their relationship. It even makes Alec Guiness' sadness in eppisode 1 far more relatable/understandsble.

Also; you don't know what was in those shots she kept chugging. Could be industrial strength vodka red bull for all we know

I'm more than willing to give the series a go, but some of the series have been so weak - I liked Ahsoka but it was a weak plot and thin - Filoni had about enough material for, maybe, 2-3 episodes (if it had been as tightly scripted and fast-paced as Kenobi) but he stretched it thinly across 8 episodes. It was beautifully shot and the background was amazing but there wasn't enough plot to sustain it. And that is probably the future of Star Wars under Filoni - grandiose tv multiple-series arc's that fail after just one series because they're so weak. Kenobi should have been the template, not the exception - a fast-paced, tightly scripted mini-series that told a complete, longer-length story from beginning to end, then do it again with a different character and a different story.
Apologies for the rant.
I think I'll be getting a cast model of Hera Syndulla and Ahsoka Tano at some point, to push the post back towards LAF guidelines!

This season has been awesome. Probably some of the best Star Wars in a long time. Feels like it’s REALLY building towards what we already know is going to happen in Rogue One and Ep. IV.

Genuine edge-of-the-seat episodes 7-8-9.

Dancing scene stands as one of the worst in Star Wars history, though. 

[Rick]

I haven't seen the dancing scene yet but, if I were you, I'd search for the 'Star Wars Holiday Special' if you want to really see the worst in Star Wars history.
I suspect, after that, it might not seem quite so bad after all!

9 was pure gold!

Funny how we all have differing opinions, I thought it was a great scene. I can think of plenty of other moments within the breadth of the SW film and TV series history which are far worse in my opinion.


Loving the series so far, the acting is top notch and it very exciting to see how they wind the story up ready for Rogue One.

Agreed - we all look for different things I guess?

The series though is awesome. I read that the budget was ~290million! It really shows in the quality of the production.

An high budget doesn't necessarily mean better quality, since The Acolyte cost $230.1 million, $20 million less than Rogue One, and it had problems. Andor is awesome thanks to the competency of Tony Gilroy.

  - thanks … I’ll see if I can get you a best of Jar-Jar 

Tony Gilroy indeed is a standout in the studio.
