Ken M Sweeney<a href="https://mastodon.social/@Catawu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Catawu</a> thanks. It's been bugging me ever since I saw the episode last year. I was thinking about introducing the way modern drama compared to say, 70s drama (Sophie's Choice springs to mind) is lacking uncomfortable realism - what would you do - in the storylines. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a> succeeded because its lifespan was short and wrote what it needed to work. If sci-fi is to be taken seriously — as a moral and emotional genre, not just speculative adventure — it needs to embrace that kind of honesty again.

Jeff ForcierAlso, if you're like me and was already Star Warsed out by the Disney era:It bears repeating that <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a> was really. Really. REALLY. FUCKING GOOD!It would have been the best thing I'd watched in years even if it had ZERO connection to <a href="https://social.coop/tags/StarWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarWars</a>.Yet /simultaneously/, it's easily the best Star Wars since the original trilogy. Just incredibly smartly made, gorgeously produced, fantastically acted, dripping with the setting while /never/ being irritatingly fannish about it.

Jeff ForcierAnd that's a wrap on <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a>. Reckon I'm watching Rogue One tomorrow night. Barely remember it, so it'll be fun getting all the presumed references the show made, but backwards?

Stefan Edward JonesNext week I rewatch "Rix Road," then the season finale of season two, then "Rogue One," for the first time in about nine years.Will there ever be a series of brilliant as <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a>?

Stefan Edward JonesWatched the penultimate episode of <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a>, season one. A fairly quiet but brilliant set-up for Rix Road.All sorts of people want Cassian dead, or captured.Luthen fucks up an Imperial cruiser just for fun.

Darth Hideout 🏳️‍🌈There was an interesting bit in <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a>, I think S2E3, which was, “Sagrona Teema.” (Though I may have both those details wrong.)In the prep for the actual wedding, Mon & Leida are alone. Mon tells the story of her own wedding day, when she was 15, another traditional Chandrilan arranged wedding. She said her mother was drunk & she never forgave her for it.But then Leida expresses some cold feet & Mon launches into a speech declaring that her daughter doesn’t have to go through with this horrible arranged marriage. To which Leida replies, with a look of disgust:I wish you *were* drunk.In the first season, at one point when Vel visits, she laments Leida lapsing into the conservative “Old Ways.” But Mon tells her it’s all Leida & her friends ever do or talk about.Mon, space hippy & freedom fighter, wants to release her daughter from the burden she herself has born much of her life. (Perrin. lol) And Leida is severely disappointed that her mother would shit all over The Old Ways on her own special day.In part, the wedge between the two characters helps set up Mon’s flight from Coruscant in Ep 9. She’s leaving her family behind. But with both Perrin & Leida, the separation began much earlier.However, it also illustrates a younger generation growing more conservative to the dismay of their elders. Leida never knew the Republic. She’s a child of the Empire.<a href="https://c.im/tags/StarWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StarWars</a>

Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈The idiots who think Star Trek is too political these days will also completely miss what Andor was about. But the rest of us, who read and understand narratives get just how fucking important that show is, I know I've been feeling a bit 'Andor' these days....watching my back...<a href="https://thelefthook.substack.com/p/andors-warning-how-fiction-unmasks" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thelefthook.substack.com/p/andors-warning-how-fiction-unmasks</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a>

Jeff Forcierlike you telling me someone snorted a line of ground up mousedollars during preproduction of <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a> and they could simply not come up with a better surname for this weasly-yet-startlingly-handsome rogue than "something that sounds exactly like a major plot location in the original trilogy"?????COME THE FUCK ON

Jeff Forcier"usual SW plot holes" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here obviously, there's just so many to choose from.sure, fella just gonna randomly joyride a junkyard starship to some other planet overnight like it's a quick drive to the next city?every god damned planet is either 1) a single small sized city in a barren wasteland or 2) an ecumenopolis – nothing in between? EVER? What the christ graham-cracker fuck.also don't get me started on the names, mister Kassian "Forest Moon Of" Ændor… <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a>

Jeff Forcier<a href="https://social.coop/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a> S1E1-3: ok yup pretty good.Good: - well produced (mousedollars) - snappy writing - great acting/direction - more of the space fantasy we know/love (brick buildings & space-age-yet-old-timey bell tower of Ferrix are chefs-kiss) - usual blink-and-you'll-miss-it references to rest of franchiseBad: - tons of props have irritating theme-park "obviously new thing made to look old" feel - usual SW plot holes like "why tf everyone park-n-ride" - computer tech varies WILDLY scene to scene

Andy PiperFinished <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/Andor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Andor</a> and straight into <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/RogueOne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RogueOne</a> - which I haven't re-watched since it came out. This is great.
