Got a laugh at the fate of Los Angeles, but drat, that design feels like they're ripping off Dustin Nguyen's Descender comic super hard.

(Everyone, go read Dustin Nguyen and Jeff Lemire's Descender).

I'm surprised this isn't Neil Blomkampt. Anyway, yeah the story looks too cliche, but the art direction looks awesome.

Edit: I can’t remember anything about Midnight Special but for some reason that popped into my brain when I saw this.

It's funny, because I saw this shot:



And thought it looked pretty drat similar to the Imperial Base shots from Rogue One that they shot in the London Underground seen here:

Though obviously not the same exact spot or angle. And then the trailer came up with, "From the Director of Rogue One", and I thought, yup, there it is.

I may be wrong, or seeing connections that aren't there. But that is a Rogue One looking movie if I ever saw one.

And he was brought in to rescue RO at that. It wasn't even his poo poo show! (I think?)

And then of course Andor showed what he was capable of

I don't like Star Wars, so I've never seen Rogue One - but The Creator seems cool af and I'll go see it in theaters.

Trailer looks good and if it's another solid sci fi action thriller like Oblivion or Edge of Tomorrow then I'll be happy. Also is that Martin Short playing the general?

They're nothing alike but this trailer reminds me of that movie the guy who directed Rise of the Planet of the Apes came out with a couple of years ago that I'm not 100% sure actually came out.

Rogue One is a garbage rear end movie and the existence of Andor should probably be a testament to what it would be like if it was good.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
I enjoyed Rogue One, but Stellan Skarsgård’s big speech in Andor is better than anything in Rogue One.
