Great show so far. Diego Luna plays an intriguing character.

Just started it...Star Wars really nails droids, if nothing else. I care more about this little red droid than I ever did Luke or Leia.

2 episodes in and just a few thoughts...
Again, love that droid. I will be heartbroken if anything happens to it. Bix (Adria Arjona) is gorgeous. The flashback stuff feels irrelevant at the moment. The editing of it into the story also doesn't seem important at all. There aren't moments in the present day story that relate to the flashback stuff, that I can tell. It doesn't help that I've grown less fond of multiple timeline storytelling these days. It's not so bad that I hate it I just don't see the point of it. I really enjoy the sprinkles of normal people in this show. Like, it gives a real sense of a lived in world when our 'main' characters are dealing with chatty people on the bus or catching part of a conversation between two coworkers. Even the security staff feels like a normal job space where you have people eating at their desk, others who complain about the work and even others who are real go getters. I really like those 'small world' touches, for lack of a better word.

Still too early to say, we're only 4 episodes in after all, but if it keeps it up this could be the best Star Wars Disney+ series so far. And that's a big compliment from me since the only thing I've enjoyed so far was Mandalorian.

Yeah there are a few easter eggs in this series. Apparently there's something from Starkiller or the game too

I love how they take their time to build up the relations in this rebel group instead of jumping straight into the action. This show is by far the best Star Wars show on Disney+. Even Mando looks pale in compare.

Is there any surprise he got as far away from his mother as possible?

Theres actually kind of a nice parallel there with Mon Mothma and her family, which is clearly unhealthy also.

Andor is the best Star Wars show on Disney+. And yes, I, too, love the mythic quality of the Mandalorian, but this deep dive into Imperial and Rebel operations is exquisite. It's a fascinating study in contrasts.
The dialogue is sharp, and the characters are engrossing. Andor is EASILY the best piece of written Star Wars anything. It lacks that rude YA aftertaste every live-action Star Wars affair seems to have. You know, all that schmaltzy talk about home, friends, family, or some other universally accepted motivator.
Andor's success on slightly more sophisticated terms emphasizes Star Trek's desperate need for new leadership and top-tier writers' room talent.
Leslye Headland better come dressed to impress… the bar has just been raised.

Astonishing. The "heist" episode did more than deliver. Andor is heading into my all-time-favorites territory.
It's the burst of brilliance the franchise didn't know it needed. I felt for those who were lost and cheered for those who triumphed.
It's a wonder that Cassian Jeron Andor ever came in from the cold.

What a great episode! The exhale by Luthen at the end, I felt that. So good I want to rewatch it immediately, lol.

This episode delivered the goods and was so finale-like unlike some-other-show-that-must-not-be-named. Curious for what the rest of the show will be like

Curious for what the rest of the show will be like They seem to be in a bit of a 3 episode rhythm at the moment. I wouldn't mind them keeping that pace. Eps 1-3 were Andor on Ferrix and kind of going on the run...4-6 were the Aldhani heist. 6 episodes left...potentially 2 smaller arcs?

I rewatched the latest episode and it felt like watching it for the first time. A couple of first for Star Wars in this episode… I think. Someone used the bathroom - in public no less. Imperial credits are a physical item - there not just digital currency.

I didn’t actual start watching it until it’s second week. But once you break that ice it’s some great television. I feel like as word of mouth spreads so will the conversation about this show.
