The show's two seasons cost Disney/Lucasfilm more money to make than ANY of the Star Wars movies, by a LOT. The two seasons cost ~$645 million, the next closest Star Wars movie was Rise of Skywalker at $275 Million

2026-01-22 18:23:00 +0000 UTCIf you think of Andor at the start of "Rogue One" he murders an allied informer without blinking because he's an inconvenience to his escape. Here Andor won't kill someone who came to arrest or kill him. So we want to watch this Andor's path to becoming the Andor in the movie. What turns a man from a small thief into a stone cold killer?

2026-01-21 01:11:26 +0000 UTCOh wow, I didn't notice that about Cassian's 'wreck'. There's so much depth to this series!

2026-01-21 01:10:50 +0000 UTCit might help to understand that, at this point, there's no real organised rebellion. the rebel alliance that many people are most familiar with doesn't exist. try to imagine organised rebellion as being in a sort of alpha version! also, i invite you to look at Syril Karnes situation objectively and without any emotional attachment to our protagonist. his boss has asked him to ignore the murder of his colleagues and make up a lie as to how it happened. honestly, if i were put in that position it would elicit a solid and clear "nope" from me! i will most certainly not make any attempt to defend his actions on Ferrix but i can definitely sympathise with his frustrations with his commanding officer.

2026-01-20 16:50:08 +0000 UTCRemember, all the way back in 1977, they are referred to as, "The Rebel Alliance". What does that mean? Rebels, rebel groups? Allied? By whom? Much is answered in other Star Wars properties which take place between the end of Episode 3 (when Darth Vader is 'born', and order 66) and Star Wars IV A New Hope. Rebels is one significant animated series that comes to mind.

2026-01-20 10:51:08 +0000 UTCGeorge Lucas has always said that there is a 'poetry' to Star Wars, and always duplicity. Pairing. Doublets. At the end of this episode those parallels are so very "Star Wars".

2026-01-20 10:42:54 +0000 UTCMAARVA!!! Portrayed by Fiona Shaw, who also played Harry Potters adoptive Aunt. And many other things you haven't seen.

2026-01-20 10:40:52 +0000 UTCIn previous Star Wars media, we're often scared if the sith lords, but hardly ever afraid of "the empire", right? Can shoot anything, bumbling, foolish, kind of cowardly. Not here, though. Not now.

2026-01-20 10:39:01 +0000 UTCThere are tiny, microscopic details that I catch in every rewatch! This show is so very rich, and has depth. B2Emo stuttering is crazy, it both shows his age, and makes us so empathetic. The ship Cassian sometimes sleeps in, the 'wreck' in the junkyard... It's the same ship Marva takes him off his home planet in. I imagine he used it until it was used up, wrecked so bad, and only as a last resort, sold it to the junkyard for scrap to pay his debts...
