Star Wars (May the Force be with you)

Still believe one of the greatest movie segments is the opening one in the original Star Wars, when the small ship is running away from the screen, and then the star destroyer covers the entire screen racing after the shuttle. Then, the words show up on the screen, and are slanted away from the viewers. Priceless.

Um, yeah, so the thing is, the star destroyer overtake happens after the opening synopsis scroll.

Just sayin’:

The empire has never been more frightening imo. When you take a step back and think of how many people are wrongfully imprisoned to build project stardust. Jesus Christ. It's crazy they got me to feel for Syril. Wasn't expecting that. But watching Mera break...whoa shit. God damn this is such good shit. They should sign Tony Gilroy to a lifetime deal and let him write whatever he wants. More star wars for adults please

Spoiler Free thoughts:


1). Although they're in Andor you absolutely don't need aliens or robots to be the focal point of anything in Star Wars. They're not dumb ass comic relief, they're oddities that you look at briefly and then turn away from. K2 is the outlier BC it will clearly have a larger role in the future.

2). We've been lied too. The Jedi were the worst part of Star Wars

3). I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best part of the Andor series is the detail and actual administrative machine behind the empire. Lonnie Jung, Meero, Patragaz (my favorite), Syril.....etc
The series doesn't work without them and their story.

4). More Diego Luna please. @Marvel @HBO - he can perform an action role brilliantly!

I still have to watch the last one (episode 12) tonight, and there are a lot of story arcs to try and tie up in 42 minutes or so, so I'm interested to see how that all turns out and how it leads into Rogue One, which I'll probably watch again this weekend.

They really made some interesting decisions in this season, and in general. One is the rise of LH's prominence as the prime (young, besides Mon Mothma) female character...in season 1, it was really Vel, but she's been reduced to a bit part this season, other than tying up her love story with Cinta. I really like LH obviously, I think everyone does, and I hope her career takes off after this series. I like the actress who plays Vel too, I've seen her in plenty of other stuff, so I was a bit disappointed we didn't get more from her in S2. The rant she had against the French frat boy didn't really lead anywhere either, which I thought was too bad...they could have done more with that.

Andor has been back, but still isn't the primary focus of any of season 2. It's been Mon...and Syrill...and Meero...and LH/Luthen. Even Krennic at times. But not him. Which has been OK, except for the fact I thought he was wasted in the weakest (and probably only) terrible arc in season 2, using the bunch of useless goofs to introduce Yavin. I assume he will play a big role in episode 12, as he will have to lead into Rogue 1.

I too would love a Saw Guerrera series, but I don't know that Disney will ever be willing to push a drug-addled murdering anarchist as the lead character in a series. I think he's probably by far the most interesting though. He, the Mandalorian Armoress, Thrawn...some characters just leave you wanting more.
