I would say Andor has better writing, but I dunno about more complex storytelling. Everything was at least linear in that show. No complaints, though. It's def the best of them!

2024-07-11 17:28:27 +0000 UTCThe show absolutely gains momentum. So details in directing and editing feels weird sometimes, but overall I like the writing and the performances. No chance to tie up all the threads in the finale, it will be probably a big cliffhanger.

2024-07-11 17:26:02 +0000 UTCI knew it! What did say in my comments for ep 3? "Well here are my few cents on the twins: I think they are some kind of a vergence and/or convergence: The mother has insisted that the two children love each other and has placed their hands in each other to emphasize, strengthen and preserve the bond between them. Both are the two poles of the Force. Together they are in harmony and there is a fragile balance. When they drifted apart, this balance broke down, resulting in both of them leaning towards the extremes of the two poles, so Mae was drawn to the evil side of the Force. A parable about balance like yin and yang. While the term "Convergence" has not been directly used to describe Anakin Skywalker himself in the official Star Wars canon, there are a few interesting connections and interpretations: The Chosen One: Anakin is often referred to as the "Chosen One," prophesied to bring balance to the Force. This concept could be seen as a type of "convergence," where the light and dark sides of the Force intersect and collide within him. Vergence in the Force: In Star Wars lore, a "vergence" refers to a point where the Force is unusually strong. Qui-Gon Jinn, who discovered Anakin, believed him to be a vergence in the Force, suggesting a convergence of Force energy within him. Symbolic Convergence: Anakin's existence bridges different eras and factions in the Star Wars universe. He is born during the waning years of the Republic, becomes a Jedi Knight during the Clone Wars, and ultimately falls to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader and helping establish the Empire. His life story represents a convergence of various historical and ideological forces. High Republic Era Connection: While not directly related to Anakin, the term "Convergence" is prominently featured in the High Republic era, a time period explored in recent Star Wars stories. This era's themes of convergence could be seen as foreshadowing or echoing Anakin's later role as a pivotal figure in galactic history."

2024-07-10 23:10:36 +0000 UTCI also love the positivity. So many of the people talking about Star Wars are SOOOO negative and for the dumbest reasons. I always appreciate you guys (and I agree that people can criticize legit issues without hating the entire show).
