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?

A. I'm certainly not better than this

B. How the hell did you get misogyny out of that?

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 organization was Luthen part of in those flashbacks?

I think late Republic as it transitioned into the empire.

makes sense

The crazies online were saying it’s Leia. As in Princess Leia.
Wouldn’t have been against it but it’s ridiculous.

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.

I plan to tell them I was kidnapped

Acolyte was BOOOOORRRRRRRING!

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.

Honestly, Bratt brings an intensity that Smits doesn't and I prefer him as Bail

Krennic was the MVP.

His spray to Dedra was awesome.

I love that she ended up a prisoner of the state stationed at Narkina5. I was hoping to see Kino Loy walk past seeing he didnt get out.

And she was the one that inadvertently gave the rebels the info re: The Death Star.

A pregnant Bix being back with B2EMO made me very happy at the end.

Still upset that Luthen killed Lonni

The Andor S1/Andor S2 and Rogue one trilogy is an amazing part of star wars

I loved every minute of it

She looks a lot like a young Carrie Fisher.

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.

Hollywood writers don't know what babies look like.
