Re: Andor
 

As I already posted in this thread about an hour before yours.

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/show...13018&page=149
It looks interesting.

Don't get me wrong I am not criticisng you, you have done nothing wrong.

It's just that IMHO (which means nothing as it is just mine) it is better to post there and then if is interest shown then start it's own thread.

Re: Andor
 

I think there will be a lot of interest, so its own thread is fine. :)

Re: Andor
 

I do not disagree Paul. I just posited that if it appeared on the snippets page first then depending on the intrest shown by all means open a dedicatated thread. I have done it mysef in the past.

Re: Andor
 

Another series to look forward to in these coming months.:)

Re: Andor
 

Andor Season 1 will consist of 12 episodes, with a further 12 coming in Season 2.

Re: Andor

Re: Andor
 

Re: Andor
 

Seems they have changed the date, its now not starting until Sept 21st.

Looks good though.

Re: Andor
 

Cetainly does. I wasn't really tempted by the teaser but the trailer has me really interested

Re: Andor
 

Rogue 1, in my humble opinion, is the best Star Wars movie outside of the original trilogy. So looking forward to this.

Re: Andor
 

true, but I liked it, Star Wars, without being too Star Wars-y :) promising start

Re: Andor
 

Only seen episode 1 so far.

Two men got killed ..... well, thats about it really.

Re: Andor
 

having watched episode 3, can see why they decided to launch all 3 at once, with the intention we watch 3 episodes together back to back, like a feature length introduction.

Re: Andor
 

Yeah, I only watched the first episode last night and the cut to end credits made absolutely no sense at that point. There was no climax or suspense of any kind, beyond the subtly implied risk the boy was taking when leaving camp (and all the dialogue was left helpfully untranslated for no obvious reason, no doubt for some arty reason I haven’t yet thought of).

They seem to be adhering to 40-minute-ish episode lengths but also expecting us to go directly to the next one. I’ve seen other shows like this - the Netflix Marvel series had a tendency to just stop after about an hour whether they’d reached any sort of resolution or not. But in those cases they were always dropped in their entirety at launch. If Andor is going to have arbitrary episode end points once we get to the one episode per week phase, then it could get a bit annoying.

So far, the immersive aspect of the show is good. I’m enjoying seeing what the empire looks like when you go several rungs below the star destroyers and massed armies of stormtroopers. But to be worthy of the title, sooner or later there’s going to have to be some action, and not putting any worth the name in the first episode was a risky move.

Re: Andor
 

season 2 starts April 23rd 2025

Re: Andor
 

I'll have to wait for the 4k version as it will be cheaper than subscribing to yet another pay service.

Re: Andor
 

It's taken a long time but I'm glad it's got the date confirmed now.

Re: Andor
 

Season 2 consists of 12 episodes, being released as 3 episodes per week (so for 4 weeks).

Re: Andor
 

Ok, well it was entertaining, and (almost) led into Rogue one.

Re: Andor
 

It certainly was. I need to give Rogue One a rewatch now.

Re: Andor
 

The final scenes with Saw Gerrera watching the star destroyer hovering over Jeddah City, and Cassian and K-2SO flying out to meet their informant on Kafrene, lead directly to their first scenes in Rogue One.

It would have been impossible to stitch any final scene directly to the opening moments of Rogue One the way Rogue One leads into Star Wars because the opening scene of Rogue One is a prologue set 15 years before everything else that happens in the film.

I finally finished this last night and really enjoyed it. I had planned to do an episode a week to make it last, but with them dropping it in clumps of 3 (which actually made sense once you saw them), there were so many episodes out there that I’d not seen yet, I started having to avoid spoilers everywhere. I didn’t dare open this thread until this morning. :D

Re: Andor
 

The only problem with the move from Andor into Rogue One was the reaction of Andor when the informant told him about the plan. He looked far too surprised seeing as he knew all about it anyway and it was just confirmed by the informant

Re: Andor
 

I’m planning to watch R1 again this weekend so I’ll look out for that. But based on the final episode of Andor, I’m not sure Cas himself really understood what the intel meant. He was pretty vague when he related it to the rebel council members and Mon then had to coax him to rehearse what he had heard from Kleya in order to try to make sense of it. But she eventually did so only after a briefing from her cousin, Val Sartha, who in turn had bumped into Kleya wandering in the forest having stumbled out of the medical centre.

I suspect the Andor writers sketched out those scenes in order to make the stitch into Rogue One as plausible as possible.

Re: Andor
 

Might just be be seeing it wrong then :-) loved the series and watched R1 straight after the last episode

Re: Andor
 

I enjoyed S01, but S02 dragged for the first 6-7 episodes. Should have or easily could have been cut down to at least 8 episodes to make it lot tighter. Would have been a lot better for it.

Re: Andor
 

I havent seen R1 since it came out in 2016.
I had forgotten about the initial scene where Andor meets Tivik.
The close of Andor does indeed appear to be a few hours before that.
