Wasn't Andor a steaming pile of dogshit?

Also anyone should be wary of a prequel. It usually means they have no creative energy at all to tell an interesting and unique story. Prequels are a way to wind the clock back so you can tell basic-bitch stories that are more trope than creative.

JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot production studio will produce the movie. Abrams directed Star Trek and Star Trek: Into Darkness, the first two movies out of three in the Kelvin timeline. The studio is describing this new movie as an expansion of its Trek universe. 🤢 🤮

What didn't you like about it? I'm genuinely curious, everyone else I've talked to loved it.

Andor and maybe Mandolorian season one are all I can recommend to people who aren't already heavily invested in Starwars.

Andor was the anti Star Wars series. It was the best written series of all time in Star Wars terms. The dialouge was not just good, it was fucking captivating. Almost every star wars film or show the script is usually mediocre at best and has to be overcome by the actors.

Andor had multiple scenes that left me in awe of the great writing. Maybe it's because my expectations were low... But damn it was good.

Outside of Rogue One, I have found little joy in any Star Wars stuff since the original trilogy, your comment actually makes really interested in checking out Andor

[–] pelayo@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Andor is a prequel and was written and directed by Rony Gilroy, the writer of Rogue One, and it's mostly a pre-rebellion political drama with less emphasis in the pew pew (compared to the other Star Wars shows at least). And I'm surprised Disney allowed something so unapologetically antifascist without forcing the writer to tone it down.
