So you didn’t like it because of this?
Well yes obviously and I’m famously the racist and misogynist here on RM
Of course! Me and no other
Go fuck yourself wease
But you’re literally accusing everyone else of hating it for that reason. lol dime. The show sucked because of bad writing and acting, not skin color.
And of course let’s not forget Kathleen Kennedy and all the shit she gets. Which you seem to have, conveniently.
Andor creator Tony Gilroy speaks up about Kathleen Kennedy's role in making the Star Wars series:
“Kathy just kept saying yes…There’s no show without her. For all the shit that she takes online, it’s just insane. This show exists because she forced it to happen. What a tough job she has, man.” https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st ... -interview
I dunno. He didn't mention Kennedy at all, until it's years and years later. She hasn't earned it at all. He didn't do a good job making that praise seem set up at all.
You’re better than this.
Or are you?
What was I saying about misogyny again?

Not sure I'm even remembering that right....maybe it was a woman doing something on a screen on Hoth...in my mind she looks just like Kleya. I'm sure I'm wrong and that character has a name and everything but I think I'll pretend its her.
Toryn Farr maybe?
yeah that must be what I'm remembering....too bad they gave her a name lol
Yeah, Leia is the only named female character with lines in both Empire and Jedi. Aunt Beru is the only other woman whose name is mentioned and has lines in the Original Trilogy.

What? What are you talking about? The only thing I’ve said is that acolyte sucks because of bad acting and writing, and not race. I don’t even know what Kennedy had to do with any of that? You need to calm down man. Not everyone that dislikes something because of race or gender. It’s ok if it’s bad and it’s ok that i don’t like it just because it’s bad. I’m not “forgetting” anything. God damn I’m afraid to watch kneecap now because if i hate it you’ll claim I’m supporting genocide or something.

Her ending up in the prison though. Brutal. An appalling end and same time shows the machinations and functions of the empire. You’re only as useful as long as you’re useful regardless of how dedicated and devoted you are.
Cruel and horrible ending for her especially.
If I have any "real" problem with the series, it's that two seasons truly wasn't enough. I LOVED every second of the show but the last three episodes felt a little rushed. We got only fleeting moments with some of the characters with whom I'd happily spend hours more.

Someone said the very last episode falls down as it just is all set up for rogue one. And very obviously. It is but I didn’t mind that at all it’s made one of my least favourite Star Wars movies into one of my favourites. So what? It was done beautifully and all of it warned and totally natural. Go for it.
Didn’t want it to end either though. We could have easily made this three seasons rather than two. No big deal. Just happy they made it at all and such an all timer.
