I want to be arrange married to Jenivieve O’Reilly’s iteration of Mon Motha. Original one was more like Mom Mothma or even grandmom Mothma

Very real possibility that Cassian and Melchi were the only two who got off the planet....

i'm a sucker for a symmetrical shot and this show is full if them. the one of the imperial captain or whatever after luthen escaped was great.

I wish they never even showed the holo-projected shot of Kregyr so that he could've been the Maris Crane (or Vera Peterson) of Andor.

Also, compared to Mandalorian (because honestly, the other shows aren't really in this conversation), I really love the dimension they've given the baddies. Diedre is an awful human--yet, I find myself rooting for her (not to beat Cassian or anything, but there are --strangely--things about her I find admirable).
I think of Moff Gideon from the Mandalorian, and he's such a black and white baddy. I appreciate him and like what he brings to the show, but he's just a straight heel. Yet--Diedre is probably worse than him in some ways as a person. The same could possibly be said about Cyril, who you also can't help but sort of root for. Realistically, Cyril and Diedre are no more militant and ruthless than Saw or Luthen. Gilroy thrives in creating these complex characters, whereas Filoni and Favreau are just like "here are the good guys, and here are the bad guys." My whole commentary probably goes back to what Fig was talking about with a show that follows the Empire. But it's a success of the show. And just because the characters are more rounded doesn't always make for a better show. Sometimes that can get gimmicky. But Gilroy has struck the perfect balance. |

Still rooting for Dedra to "let her hair down" and "become sexy"

Saw her in an interview with her hair down. She was with Cyril, who didn’t even look like the same person.

Didn't even know the other dude's character name until now.... always just referred to him as "Space Cereal Mom Guy"

What If
He catches Cassian Andor, but then Andor escapes via tempting him with some Space Cereal, ala how superheroes used to defeat bad guys with Hostess Fruit Pies in advertisements |

I'd say Diedre's love and imperially-meted justice are more important to him than space cereal.

Every time I saw him I just thought how much he looked like macca back in the day.
I thought the series was great. It's a series that needs a definite rewatch to really absorb everything in all at once imo. I think it lacks the ratings from the majority of star wars fans that think you need lightsabers all over the place. I do think as we venture into next season we could see some Vader interaction, with at least, a Palpatine cameo. |

Great finale... hate that I have to wait a year to see where it goes from here.... I heard there's gonna be a time jump next season... wonder if they continue off this cliffhanger or if they just tell it via flashbacks later....
Wonder what Cassian's "plan" is.... SPOILER: show |

I watched it, but I don't really have anything to add on the praise I've already given the show. It is in fact the most well written star wars media of everything, including the movies.

Lol well I mean we sit here and prattle on when something is shit. Why not be just as consistent with the praise when it’s earned? It’s some exciting, inspiring stuff.

He seems like a lesser Luthen.
Also, props to Mon Mothma for gaslighting the fuck out of her husband in the name of covering her tracks. |

4 episodes into Andor.
It’s good but it’s not Mando good. Not sure it’s even Obi Wan good. It has too many ugly English people in it, even for Star Wars… |

There have been a few bits that were great but I am hoping it goes a bit tits towards the end. It’s certainly warming up in the middle.

The thing is Dale, until fairly recently to me all Star Wars was shite so I have no real axe to grind. I’m the one person who can just enjoy the good and ignore the bad because I’d just as happily be watching something else. I just want to see cool shit, I am more likely to find that outside of Star Wars than inside of it. |

Well I don't see you elaborating either, mister sunshine and rainbows.
I think expecting everyone else to do the work says a lot about you, and I suggest you let that marinate. |

Andor is the laziest show title ever too. Andor should fuck off to Endor and get eaten by the little hairy bastards that live there

I’ve seen the first four and episode 3 was warming up but episode four felt like the middle stage of a long wank.
