Well, it doesn’t feel like a Star Wars show until the prison arc which is pretty good and I’d like it a lot more, but to get there you have to suffer through the Heist arc which… ugh…
Also too much of it feels like filler. It’s called a “slow burn”, but these dinners, cereals, pointless scenes of marching, don’t add to anything or build to anything.
The Heist was just completely unforgivable, we get two episodes of the crew Andor joins being incredibly generic and unlikable. The only thing we learn about them is that they don’t like Cassian Andor because he’s “Not one of the cool kids”
Then we get to the Heist and itself and we get a stupidly long marching scene before anything happens (Obvious filler is obvious)
And the heist itself is just not worth the pay off, all these unlikable characters we spent so much time getting to know die. Only unlike Rogue One where my heart is breaking and I see how everyone is sacrificing themselves for a greater cause, I don’t feel anything because I don’t feel like the Heist accomplished anything, and I hate these characters (Except maybe the guy who was writing a book) so their deaths mean nothing to me.
Oh and the Kyber Crystal which screamed Chekov’s Gun never got used for anything. I figured maybe he’d have to sacrifice it during the heist, maybe it’d get used to make a lightsaber, no it’s just… there and he gives it back after the arc ends. Another “Glad we accomplished something”
Bullshit, garbage show. And what really sparks my hate for it, was that anytime when the show was running that I announced that I didn’t like it, I had tons of passive aggressive assholes on my case saying I wasn’t “Smart enough to get it” or “That’s okay, not everything can be pew pew.”
I can handle a slow burn, I can handle movies that are light on action and full on character development, what I will not tolerate is a show that drags its feet because it feels that my time and attention are not important.
Woah woah woah. Andor rocked. What’s your beef? Genuinely asking
