Andor was amazing. I love star wars, there was a lot of iffy stuff, Mando was pretty good, but damn did Andor knock it out of the park.
I agree with you. Except for Boba Fett. They made a bounty Hunter into an anti-mafia protagonist. This dude was out to kill Luke Skywalker and all of a sudden he’s a good guy because he spent some time in the desert with the people who also wanted to kill Luke Skywalker.
Totally agree! I When people mention Andor I immediately think of the monologues rather than any of the action sequences. I think that tells how good the writing was.
The scene with the tractor beam was pretty great though.
What do I sacrifice?
EVERYTHING!
Andor is kind of depressing, in that it showed what a truly quality Star Wars series could look like, that you can actually make adult/decent Star Wars content, and it made everything else Disney has put out look stupid (apart from Rogue One… huh, weird coincidence). Luthen’s monologue stands out as one of the best pieces of Star Wars content from the entire franchise, just brilliant and well delivered. Meanwhile, we’ve been getting trash, just absolute drivel from the rest of their offerings that shows how little Disney respects its audience. Mando had some moments early on, but that last season was rough and every other SW series they’ve put out has just made me hate every moment of it. Just so much bad writing, it’s insulting.
When Mando deviated too much from the space spaghetti Western, quality really went down the drain.
I loved Andor’s WW2 spy thriller take on Star Wars. More serious, adult and no space wizards.
Gonna disagree with you about the quality of Mando; it’s just an incredibly different type of show. I feel the exact opposite of you: I thought the first season was meh until the end, and the show has continued to get better from there (with some individual episodes that were crap).
For the record, Andor is by far my favorite piece of contemporary Star Wars media. It’s not even close.
What I’m saying is, not every show or movie has to be well received by every fan.
Hell, I even enjoyed Obi-Wan for what it was. A sad waste of potential? Totally. But some of the things it set out to do were done well (specifically, showing Obi-Wan’s state of mind during that time period)
I don’t expect Mando to press the same emotional buttons as Andor, and I don’t expect Andor to make me go “whoaaaaa awesome lightsaber duel!” the way Ahsoka did. Let them be different. We don’t have to tear down anything that doesn’t fit our image of the perfect star wars show
I have a friend who worked on the Mandalorian as a make-up artist. I was so jealous when I found out. I believe she did the Xi’an character, if I remember correctly.

Lol I mean it’s literally just having a new addition to it and while many will say it’s being killed, the amount of content they have added so far in Rebirth has been insane. I have friends who will probably hate it, but it’s absolutely beautiful to me and a surprise at every step.

The funny thing about this one is there’s a big chunk of the series faithful that want it milked more, just in a more nostalgic way.

This is completely my opinion but I feel like Stellaris has milked the fuck out of those DLCs, but they’re also good lol
Considering they are putting out a monthly subscription for access to all DLC? Yeah this thought is very valid.
- Marvel but it’s waning
- Grand Theft Auto
- South Park
- Cheers / Frasier saga
Claiming that the modern Frasier reboot has anything to do with Cheers is nothing short of blasphemy.
It’s barely have anything to do with classic Frasier.
They’re doing their best! It’s not great, but it’s their best!
I used to be a marvel nerd but now they suck and only a handful of projects after end game was good.
The Anno series. They released 7 games since 1998, Anno 1800 as the most recent one had 3 season passes, and it’s considered by many to be the best or at least 2nd best in the series.
One Piece. The worldbuilding has yet to crash down on itself after 25 years.
Genshin Impact. Yes, it’s gacha, but there’s mountains of content you can play without spending a dime, and they continously expand both content and quality-of-life factors.
Does lego count?
Walkabout Mini Golf has been going strong and still cranking out new courses regularly.
