I hope they do a making of behind the scenes special for Andor.
That’s my favourite stuff

They built all these sets and made all those costumes. I love love love getting to see all that

Must watch the last Jedi makihg of videos again. All that was magic. The director and the Jedi especially.

I guess Gilroy recently said that the last three episodes of season 2 will be the final three days before Rogue One.

Andor might be my favourite Star Wars thing.

I think that's due to the overall "rebel" feel/nostalgia. At least for me.

Mando, Fett, and Obi are more tangential, no?

Andor was awesome.

It didn’t have the big moments of the other series lbh.

It was Very well thought out character based slow burn that grew more intricate as the series unfolded.

I don't see any way that Obi-Wan, Vader, Luke and Leia could possibly be tangential Star Wars.

Second to the original trilogy, but otherwise yes.

Mandalorian was like a fun living cartoon for a while, but it way overstayed. At this point it has at least as much bad production as good in its catalog, and I don’t anticipate the scales tipping back in the other direction.

I don’t honestly know how or why anyone managed to watch all of Obi Wan or Boba. If Star Wars had sucked that hard when I was growing up I would never have given a shit about it in the first place. The Last Starfighter would rank higher in my estimation.

I suppose we'll have to disagree.

Obi-Wan's series was/is very forgettable. What did it tell us? Honestly? I don't remember anything beyond what we already knew (Obi Wan set up shop to protect Luke, he and Vader didn't like each other, Vader killed kids and those he didn't kill were traumatized), therefore it's a tangent that offers little to my overall understanding of this story. Oh, young Leia was cool to see, but is that worthy of a whole series?

Andor, in contrast, gives me such a better understanding of what leads him to be so invested in Rogue One... and that movie was great in my opinion.

Hi McP!

I feel like the original trilogy and Andor are both S-tier.

The original trilogy appealed to me when I was a kid (and still does now because memories/nostalgia/connection to my younger self) but Andor is the mature storytelling that I prefer now.

I have watched all of the Mando, Boba and Obi series but my interest sort of went up and down. On balance Mando was entertaining enough, Boba turned out pretty bad and the only part of Obi that I thought was worthwhile was his lightsaber battle with Vader.

Mando is my fav its going to be tough to top Luke saving Grogu IMHO

BUt I loved Andor, Obi Wan and Book Of Boba Fett.


I love this period of star wars content we are getting. I remember when watching animated clone wars was all we had.


We get Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew this year. Andor season 2, Acolyte, Tales of the jedi 2 and Bad batch S3 next year.

And then whatever the "Ghost Track 17"project is they are working on atm.

High hopes for Ahsoka and more Andor. Not up to date on anything beyond that.

I don't know, man. Sounds like another long-winded example of preference.
