In the four episodes what has been fantastic? I have yet to see it but a lot of talking a little special effect but a lot of no action. Like a lot of this Disney channel, it will crawl along then the last episode will have some action, and SW's fans will call it brilliant. [Reply]

It's great storytelling and a slow-burn buildup. Yes, it is dragging its feet in regard to action more than I would hope, but the payoff has a chance to be fantastic. Hopefully.
And maybe we're grading on a curve here with other product Disney has put out lately regarding Star Wars and Marvel, Mandalorian excluded of course. But I'm liking it so far. They're doing a great job showing the Rebellion in its infancy, imo. [Reply]

I'll admit I wasn't a fan of Star Wars, not my thing. I have Disney plus solely because my son and daughter like it. I like one show here and that's Mando mostly because it's like an old western in a way.
I never got into comics Marvel or any of the others. I read mad magazine and National Lampoon lol. So a lot of this is lost on me. [Reply]
I'm enjoying this show a lot.
First 3 episodes were slow building up the backstory but I think its moving along nicely.
Its a grittier, believable and doesn't have campy bullshit (see Bobba Fett motorcycle gang).
Great acting as well. [Reply]

It's sort of a psychological thriller. What has been fantastic is the way the characters have been portrayed by the dialogue, the plot, and the actors themselves. The first two episodes were a little clumsy. There were choices made in how it was edited that I didn't agree with and I think the show got bogged down a bit at times with a few scenes that just didn't play well. The parts showing Andor as a child were hit and miss, for example. It got tighter in the third episode, though, and the show has really hit its stride now. It's one of the best things on TV. [Reply]

Agree.
I had to drag myself through an episode or two but now I'm glued to it. Can't wait for next week. [Reply]
