Revision as of 17:50, 30 April 2025
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
201: One Year Later 2025 April 22
(First watched 2025-04-30) Well, that definitely was Andor. Kind of what I expected--still felt like the same show as season 1, but now kind of hitting the fast forward button.
I liked the conversation at the beginning about whether betraying the Empire was worth it even if they got killed that night. The answer: you won't feel like your right self unless you are doing what you can to stop the Empire, so it's worth it just for being your true self.
202: Sagrona Teema 2025 April 22
(First watched 2025-04-30) Rebellion-era stories have done the thing about different groups of rebels having in-fighting rather than being able to focus on the real enemy, but I don't know that they've ever done it with a group as small as 15 people getting split up. I do like that their eventual idea of a challenge to end their dispute was essentially space paper rock scissors.
If there's one thing all flavors of Star Wars have, it must be monsters. Whether it's a story about space wizards, bounty hunter dads, galactic war, or minor Rebel in-fighting, there are going to be dangerous monsters trying to eat people.
So with this season split into four parts covering four years, it kind of makes sense that each one is like its own movie... but I wasn't expecting this movie to be so many non-overlapping parts. We have the Tie Fighter story, we have the farming story, we have the wedding story, and the thing they all share is not being able to communicate with each other.
203: Harvest 2025 April 22
(First watched 2025-04-30) I know everything's on fast forward, but I wish it wasn't so much. A lot of heavy stuff dropped in this episode, and next thing we know it's going to be another year gone by for next episode. No time for the characters and the viewers with them to process things.
Hard to imagine what a task production design had for the Chandrila stuff the last few episodes. Take a little-known culture, make up wedding rituals, make up dances that go for them, a bunch of appropriate wedding apparel. Then the rest of the stuff that goes with a wedding like some appropriate space dance music. I like the disco ball music droid.
And hey, there was Miss Belinda Chandra. I didn't remember she was in Andor, but she's now more recognizable than in 2022.
204: Ever Been to Ghorman? 2025 April 29
205: I Have Friends Everywhere 2025 April 29
206: What a Festive Evening 2025 April 29
