And despite its troubles, I also enjoyed Solo on a second watch.
But even The Mandalorian isn't perfect. Some episodes were better than others. It was fine for a TV show. Same with Ahsoka. It'll be interesting to see what they do with a bigger budget when the movie comes out.
I still watch Solo with my annual star wars watchthrough. Is it a great film? No. But it's fun, and it's light, and if doing a timeline watchthrough it works well. Ep 3 just ends, you're feeling down because of the empire, but Solo brings you back up - right before the very very sad Rogue One
Solo would have been a success if they didn't have to fire the directing duo and reshoot half the movie. It hugely inflated the cost of that film which made it a commercial failure in their eyes.
If you think Andor is “mid,” you are very much in the minority, bud.
Andor is - and I do not say this lightly - the best Star Wars related media since the original films.
I will agree the show has a slow start, but by the time I watched “The Eye” episode, I couldn’t wait to see the next.
It is the political thriller Lucas wishes he could have written for the prequels but didn’t have his ex-wife around to help curb his terrible dialogue nor save in the editing bay.
If you don’t like it, I would be curious as to what Star Wars besides the original films it is you do consider better than Andor and why.
I really don't know why people like Andor either. It seemed completely pointless and dull. Mandalorian was worth watching, though, tough it did get worse with time.
I dislike most Star Wars media and thoroughly enjoyed Andor. Andor is very much unlike most other Star Wars media and that's probably why a lot of Star Wars' core audience disliked it. To each their own.
It seemed completely pointless and dull.
I get the opposite impression. To me Andor is one of the few pieces of media produced within the Star Wars' IP to actually have a point at all instead of just being a series of flashy action scenes and nostalgia bait.
