I'd argue that Andor has less fantasy than other Star Wars, not sci-fi.

If Luthen had flipped a careerist that lift would be taking an express trip to the Coruscant ground floor as soon as Lonni showed any sign of second thoughts.

Yea its clear from the vow thing (and I do hope we get clarity on this at some point, could be a pretty poignant flashback) that he is a true believer in the rebellion and made a big sacrifice embedding in the ISB. We know hes not just a careerist or someone peeled off that enjoys their work at the ISB because his whole pitch is to quit the ISB and work at his wife's import company. He doesnt give a poo poo. Luthen correclty informs him no one is letting him leave tho

There are a lot of press pieces for Andor. Really feels like Disney is making an awards push for them.

The Ghibli thing is most likely "Grogu and the Dust Bunnies" which was a leaked title of a short animation that should be premiering this month - I do hope they get a movie or a visions episode or something tootheflyingexecutive posted:There are a lot of press pieces for Andor.

kathmandu posted:This is something I keep thinking about with Syril: he keeps harping on how two colleagues were murdered. Yes, those two were horrible assholes and the galaxy is probably better for their absence. But, *ahem*, from a certain point of view he's got a good point. So murder is legal now? So [illegitimate, awful] law enforcement agencies can just sweep murders under the rug?

Mastocator posted:Andor is the natural evolution into more mature and relevant themes for an audience that's grown out of playing with figurines. I know there's still a young demographic to cater to, but boy if this isn't a hundred times meatier. I love Andor, but also just finished watching Tales of the Jedi and I loved that as well. I think I just love Star Wars and am happy that it's still churning out incredible content.

Shageletic posted:Hi-tech dystopian cleanly lit prison is sci fi as gently caress though. I'd say it's social sci-fi, using the galactic space adventure to talk about the world as it is now and what it could be. It's very much in the tradition of socially-conscious dystopian literature. I get what the guy's friend means. If you're into sci-fi in a more philosophical/Star Trek/speculative vein, I don't know if "Andor" would do as much for you. I like all the above, so I don't care. Sci-fi has different modes. "Andor" is one of them. Hell, even Dune (to name another recently adapted sci-fi property) without the mystical trappings is basically social sci-fi too. Tech and drugs are not actually that important other than offering some miraculous means of space travel and prescience. Really it's about power, human culture, religion, family dynasties, eugenics, and poo poo we already know about here on Earth. Love Rat fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Nov 12, 2022 |

"Andor" is one of them. What you're describing is just called 'soft' sci-fi. The difference has never, ever been how rigorous the underlying concepts are, it has always been whether the setting is a backdrop for the interactions between characters (Star Wars, ) or if the mechanical concepts of the setting are what is doing the interacting (Gravity, Aliens). You can have harder soft sci-fi (Dune) or softer hard sci-fi (anything JJ Abrams has ever touched) because it's a spectrum, but this dichotomy has always been there and is a core concept of the genre

Sash! posted:Well, no. The whole idea is that anyone can be redeemed. It doesn't matter how far down the hole you go, there is a way back up. As much as I'd personally love to see a Star War about the moral failure of Operation Paperclip, this is a franchise for kids, so maybe we can introduce some Not Nazis for the next war and then people will have new villains and I won't have to ask myself if the person at the convention in the elevator with my lone trans rear end is dressing as a space Nazi because he loves laser swords or because he wants to let his fash flag fly publicly quite so often.
