Tortilla Maker posted:I tried to watch the movies, starting with Phantom Menace then Attack of the Clones. The acting, cinematography, CGI is pretty abysmal. Was this the general sentiment at the time too? Or did people then (and today?) think otherwise. A lot of Star Wars fandom was pretty anti-prequel in the 2000’s, what’s different now is that the children who grew up on those films are now adults who have youtube channels extolling the virtues of the prequels and the cartoons. Especially if you haven’t grown up on these movies, it is possible that Andor is about the only Star Wars thing you will like. There’s definitely nothing else thats a match for the writing, acting, and directing of Andor. I wouldn’t necessarily think you would enjoy Rogue One, even though generally it’s well-liked by people. The story beats and the acting are played much more broadly than Andor and it definitely falls into the trap of nostalgia callbacks being there for the sake of being there.

Hughmoris posted:Can someone explain in a sentence or two what existed pre-Empire, and how the Empire came to be up till the timeline of Andor? There was a thousands of years old democratic galactic republic which got subverted into a fascist dictatorship in a decade, prompted by a war in which the chief executive was actually in control of both sides of the conflict.

I don’t love everything that Disney has produced, but like everything from 1999-whenever TFA came out was pretty poorly made and now there’s fans like Star Wars Theory that think a General Grievous show is a good idea and not something that would bomb terribly.

I thought it was way too convenient to the betrothal plot She basically rejects everything about her mom, who is basically like a progressive revolutionary disguised as a lib, she eschews the humanitarian aspects of her mothers work, doesn’t partake in high society. Her being a tradwife in training is the least surprising thing

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Okay so that explains Mon's limo conversation. Just info for her driver to pass along so it's not suspicious as to why she would marry off her daughter to a crimelord. I wonder how much her husband knows. I have to assume he's in on it too unless he just doesn't get a say in who his daughter it married to. I bet Mon convinces her husband that they have to marry their daughter off to cover for his gambling. Lol their relationship is so hosed up.

I think the real questions is if any of her family survive the end of season 2. I could easily see the Empire declaring Mon a criminal with deep mob ties and then just sends goons to red wedding the whole lot.

I don’t give a poo poo about aliens especially when it comes to telling this story. Star Wars isn’t about aliens. They’re part of the setting and there are even important alien characters, but the core of Star Wars has always been about a very ordinary person doing incredible things in a crazy sci-if setting.

No Mods No Masters posted:I guess I find it irksome because to me, the rest of star wars has shown that aliens are very ordinary people. They should be part of this gathering mass movement of solidarity, and in fact in other star wars media simply are in a very matter of fact way that I think is cool. In a show that otherwise gets that stuff so right, I dunno, it stings a bit I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you're using aliens in Star Wars as proxies for marginalized people which generally would be a correct take on how they're used in SOME Star Wars which is mostly a series featuring white upper class characters. However Andor is specifically saying here are these marginalized and oppressed indigenous people rising up against the creeping overreach of a fascist white supremacist regime, we don't need a proxy because the show is outwardly showing you this regime crushing all these different cultures. Or, since the other poster quoted Gilroy himself, PunkBoy posted:Yeah, Tony said in an interview that it's something he didn't feel ready to address in season 1. quote:There’s already so much politics in the show to begin with, and we’re trying to tell an adventure story, really. So adding strong alien characters means that all of a sudden, there’s a whole bunch of new issues that we have to deal with that I don’t really understand that well or I just couldn’t think of a way to bake them into what we’re doing. You’ll see more as we go along, but it’s a legit question and one we’ll be answering as we go along. There is a more human-centric side of the story and the politics of it. There’s certainly no aliens working for the Empire, so that kind of tips it one way, automatically. I also really appreciate that this white lib director has a great sense of telling this story about the rise of a working-class rebellion, but is shying away from messaging about the racial/ethnic/cultural component of it when he probably DOESN'T have a great grasp of telling that story. It shows to me he knows what he and his crew are great at and not trying to force messaging that they can't deliver.

Elentor posted:This isn't a pet peeve, just something I've already made peace with, but the scale of the SW universe routinely confuses me. There's a board for the entire empire seemingly and they're concerned with two officers killed somewhere. Isn't there a shitload of Planets in the Star Wars universe, like I can't imagine 20 people possibly caring about crimes happening on individual sectors. Martha Stewart was convicted and went to jail for profiting around $250k in an insider trading scandal, and she wasn’t a political figure and she also doesn’t live in a fascist dictatorship. Any kind of observed criminality would bring the full weight of the surveillance state on Mon Mothma, that’s why she’s trying to plug that 400k debt ASAP, it’s not the amount it’s all the questions that missing that kind of money invites.

Where does the 150m figure for a Star Destroyer come from anyways? Sounds like some poo poo that came from a book and while I *guess* those are canon until some director or writer for live action decides to write something else, I find that number just not in scale with the few things we know the cost of. I assert that Gilroy, in making Andor, is pretty clearly using numbers that a 2022 western viewer would be familiar with, so it’s probably analogous to US dollars in the 2020’s. The US Navy’s newest super carrier, the Gerald R. Ford cost 13 billion dollars. I’d buy Vader’s TIE fighter costing 150 million, not a Star Destroyer.

Owlbear Camus posted:Pretty sure they hinted heavily that it's going to be Raygun Givens now, which is a hell of an upgrade in lead actor charisma so kind of fortuitous to the discerning viewer that she decided to go full twitter Nazi. I can’t believe they were going to have Gina Carano as a lead for anything. Didn’t anyone watch Haywire, where they had to dub over all of her lines? Timothy Olyphant as a lead on the other hand is loving awesome.

Moose King posted:It's sad, the WWII fighter pilot in space stuff is my favorite facet of Star Wars. It was the Star Wars movie I've been looking forward to most since either Rogue One or TLJ, but honestly it getting officially cancelled isn't super surprising. I think they just sat on the movie for too long and the obvious plot they'd go to for a sequel era Rogue Squadron movie got yoinked out from under them by Top Gun Maverick. Honestly just give me Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick exactly, but Star Wars

Really sells how impractical an infinity-edged weapon is without precognitive abilities/the ability to brace the blade with the Force. Only awkward for Mando. Everyone else who we’ve seen use it in live action has had zero issues.

My favorite thing about this episode is how clooooose the writer unintentionally comes to critiquing capitalism and the exploitation of labor and then backs way the gently caress off and makes Doc Browns motivation really dumb and nonsensical. Meanwhile in Andor they are unapologetically anti fascist and anti authoritarian and don’t shy from delivering that messaging.
