Wiki says there will be 12 episodes this season, so wrapping up around [American] Thanksgiving.
Luthen is right.
Still loving this series.

The spirit of the force is upon me to set at liberty them that are bruised.
Episode 8 of Andor was kind of a bore. I assume itās one of those episodes they need to do to advance the plot to get to the interesting stuff. Hopefully the payoff is worth it.
Andor question:
Which Andor characters are also in Rogue One? All I recognize are Andor and Forest Whitaker. Anyone else I missed?
Sergeant Melshi from Rogue One was one of the guys at Andorās workstation.
Iām loving this show thus far and think it might be the best Star Wars stuff since the initial 3 movies. Thought the first couple of episodes were slow, but really enjoyed the last handful of eps. The aciton scene in episode 6 looked absolutely beautiful and it really shows how much more effort was put into this than Obi-Wan. For episode 8, super dark with the holocaust/nazi vibes in the prison. Think itās necessary to show how you get mass people to join a rebellion/revolution. Luthen has mentioned this multiple times.
After 9 episodes I have Andor in the running to be the best Star Wars thing period.

I think they should have called the show something other than Andor. Itās just much bigger than him. Might also be better to have released episodes in batches.

Itās funny how Rogue One and Iām not caught up yet but seemingly Andor are so good and the new trilogy just sucked.
The fan service characters just held stuff back imo.
I agree with your first point. When trying to convince friends to watch the show, I mention heās the main character, but the overall plot is the creation of the rebel alliance and it is much broader in scope.
Yeah it was just such an unforced error on their part, even R1 fans were like āthe characters in the movie were the worst part, why give this guy a spinoffā. I still think Rebel Scum would have been a great name, would have no issue with Diego Luna being front and center in the previews but just keep him out of the title.
I think the biggest selling point to get other people to watch is to tell them itās not a childrenās show. Itās dark. Thereās moral ambiguity. The characters have complexity.
I feel like Gen-Z and younger Millenials have a warmer view of the prequels than bitter Gen-Xers. I guess if you were at a certain age youāre less uptight about them. I am basing this off of how often I see the prequels referenced in memes.
This is entirely true, for the same reason bitter GenXers prefer the original trilogy: childhood nostalgia.
If you grew up with it, itās āyourā Star Wars.
I donāt hate them as much as I used to, and with the added context of The Clone Wars, Revenge of the Sith is in my top 5, if not top 3 Star Wars movies.

If nothing else, the sequel trilogy showed me how much worse the prequels could have been, lol. I do appreciate more these days that episodes I-III at least had a coherent story.
That said, I simply donāt find those three movies even remotely entertaining to rewatch. ROTS is darker and has some cool parts, but the makeup of those movies is largely a mix of cringe and boredom to me.
ROTS is definitely ahead of ROTJ for me, especially with the additional context of Clone Wars and a couple books I read. Even TPM wasnāt too bad (read Darth Plagueis).
Iāve yet to start Andor, but my main man Vernon is all about it
Episode 10. Dems need someone who thinks like Luthen.
