The Choc Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I've been pretty consistent in saying I thought this show had great potential. The trailer has not changed that opinion at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choc Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 We actually agree alot just conversations where you agree don't really go anywhere. When we agree its like one response. When we don't it could be 10 responses each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have long wanted to see the early years of the Empire. It is cool to see that mid era where the PT and OT collide, like clone troopers still around, but you see imperial officers and tie fighters. I also personally have wanted to see Andor because I am a fan of Rogue One, and the tone seems like it will be similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we will get to see young(er) Mon Mothma from the PT/R1 make an appearance? And Jimmy Smits, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destiny Skywalker Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 I agree the redhead could be Mon Mothma, but wasn't she always the Senator from Chandrila, not Andor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 She’s played the part more now than the original actress. Not bad for a bit role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Darth Hunter Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It is Mon Mothma: Back when Rogue One was being teased I remember thinking it would be great to see a spy thriller type movie set within the Imperial Era. Looks like this show is gonna be just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Pretty amazing what a budget will do. You can just tell it's so much more epic than Boba Fett and Obi-Wan. I know part oof that is they started filing this during Mando S2 before they tightened the purse strings. Also know the show-runner Tony Gilroy is big enough he can push them to get what he wants.

On the Ringer Verse podcast which aired from SW Celebration 2022 in Anaheim, they mentioned that contrary to what was being said about Obi Wan, that show did have a big budget. But it all went to pay the actors. Getting all the main players to return was expensive, particularly when someone like Liam Neeson was reluctant to “do TV.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue 3 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 An excellent 10 minute preview on d+ that dropped last week. And they revealed it’s 3 episodes that land on release day as well, so that will be great to get stuck into! Can’t wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Choc Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Between the trailers and any other promo material they've put out I really think this will be the best Star Wars show yet. And by a pretty good margin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree— and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is because it’s the show with both the highest budget and the least amount of studio interference and lowest level of star power.

Tank Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Well that was super interesting. It’s feeling a little piecemeal and takes the first three episodes to come together and make sense with all the individual parts— but I have to say it’s the most mature, both tonally and in content, SW to date. It almost feels like this was and original story adapted to Andor/SW… which may not be a bad thing. This may also be the first Star War since Empire Strikes Back to not expend half its energy reminding you it’s a Star War with countless callbacks, Easter eggs, winks, nudges, and cameos. Something else I really appreciate. Not to say they weren’t there, but all those YouTube videos dedicated to Easter eggs are going to have to hunt a bit more because this show isn’t living six miles up Dave Filoni’s ass. But best of all, this show had a proper budget and doesn’t feel like a video game cut scene or have that faux abbreviated action that all the other SW shows have had from shooting on the volume stage. Really curious to see where this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
