TV-9D9 / Re: Andor (SPOILERS possible)
« Last post by Dave on Today at 12:41 PM »
Still as I watch the serious drama playing out across both seasons of Andor, I’m reminded that this show is taking place in the same universe inhabited by Jar Jar Binks and the Ewoks :lol:

I think there is room for both - goofy kid oriented stuff and semi-serious Andor-like stuff.   I know Mando and BoBF weren't meant to be serious, but the level of storytelling in Andor is orders of magnitude better than what we're seeing in Ahsoka, Acolyte, Mando, BoBF, etc.  I know some love Filoni, but Andor is a great example of what can happen when you turn over the keys over to someone else who has real skills.

I also love that there were no Jedis, no Nightwitches, no force sensitive anything (other than the force healer that was more of a hero finder), no magic planets with special Jedi creating powers, no genetically engineered people, etc.   This was just plain old rebels fighting plain old dictators with kick ass characters in a kick ass story. 

Please, please Lucasfilm make more of this - including things like Rogue Squadron stories, etc.

Much of what I could say has been said already, but man, Andor Season 2 was near perfect in my opinion, especially the last couple of story arcs. It’s so refreshing to see the Star Wars universe imagined as a real place with seriousness and complex and compelling characters. When I finished Episode 12, I immediately brought up Rogue One and watched about the first half hour or so and found that Andor tied perfectly into the movie…

Another nice touch was to see that B2-EMO didn't get totally left behind.

I'm good with the current U-Wing and Imperial Shuttle, but this show gives them a reason to re-release or redo.

I wouldn't mind one of those ISB shuttles.

I'm guessing the tariff situation has put a lot of Hasbro's 2025 HasLab plans on hold, but man the time was sure right this month to launch a HasLab Fondor Haulcraft, HasLab U-Wing, HasLab ISB Imperial Shuttle, or Pulse exclusive TIE Avenger.

Really bummed that Season 2 of this awesome show has come and gone and all we got was a K-2SO repack and Dedra Meero to bring our grand total of Andor figures to what, seven (if you count Disney's B2EMO)?

Six Hasbro 3.75" figures from Andor - and it's hard for me to even count the K-2SO repack and the Clone Trooper from the S1 Ferrix flashback scenes (which only got made because they knew they could re-use that sculpt for AOTC/TCW/ROTS stuff).

Two Cassians, Vel, and Dedra.  With maybe two more Andor figures in Jayson's rumor lists.  *sigh*

do we know what organization Luthen was with when he was in the military when he picked up Kleya?

The official site says "Mudtrooper uniforms, last seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story, were remade from scratch by Michael Wilkinson’s costume department for Andor Season 2’s flashback sequence."

I guess that means he was an Imperial Army mudtrooper sgt.

After watching season 2 - a few more things I'd love to be added to the list.

- Kleya
- General Draven
- 4-pack of ISB raiding group with partial Stormtrooper armor


I'm good with the current U-Wing and Imperial Shuttle, but this show gives them a reason to re-release or redo.  If they redo the Imperial Shuttle I'd love to see the Imperial ISB paint job that they had in the Coruscant raid

I thought both were really formulaic.   Asajj adopts a sidekick was fine but nothing special. 

On the Cad Bane story, it was a recycled plot but I think it was a pretty good arc.  It felt a little bit rushed since it was crammed into three short episodes.  Would have liked a bit more about the little boy but that feels like a thread that will just dangle.

Kleya has truly become my favorite character in all of Star Wars I think. Was really not expecting her to survive but so happy that she did. Great performance by that actress throughout the whole series but especially in these last three episodes. 👏

I'm not hardcore in my non-movie knowledge, but do we know what organization Luthen was with when he was in the military when he picked up Kleya?  I didn't seem to be Old Republic or Imperial, but I may have missed whatever reference was given.

Was out of town last night and just caught up…absolute perfection. I don’t think I could have imagined a better ending if I tried.
