I know — I’m late to this party but if you have the traditional Star Wars background and you suddenly gain full access to Andor… just do it! It’s likely in the top ten of all televisions series by itself, but when you top it off with Rogue One… it’s sublime. True art in its finest manifestation! The pairing is simply breathtaking.
I saw Rogue One in the theaters and clocked it as the finest of all the Star Wars movies — and to rewatch it after Andor and ten years… just one of the finest media viewing experiences of my life.
And Rogue One experts: is the director of Rogue One directly referencing Blue Velvet’s Frank when Sol Guerrero hits his gas?? How did I not notice this the first time. It’s amazing — and like Frank, the gas makes him crazy. It’s too close not to be intentional. Anyway… forgive me — I’m having a media high. Just want to share that! Go… do this… and may the force be with you.
I was so disappointed when they announced there would be no season 3 as originally planned
There was suppose to be five.
Every three-episode arc of season two was suppose to be a full season. But Disney said the show was way too expensive so Tony Gilroy negotiated one final stupid-expensive season and rolled everything he has outlined into it.
TBH I think it worked better that way - kept the momentum up, and there wasn’t a wasted moment
I agree. Trim out all the unnecessary stuff, end on a high note.
Keeping the actors from aging out too much too
It also reached the time scale boundary. It was taking too long to film. While each season took several years of production, filming and post production, story wise, every season was just a few months later on the plot. While the main character was a young man at the start, by the last season he was a solidly mature man, and skarsgard was edging closer to old age too. But only a bit over a year had passed on the plot.
Every lengthy show hits this wall, it’s even worse with child actors but adults are not exempt.
i feel like alot of shows are suffering this right now. the actors getting too old in between seasons, because you have multi year(1-2year) gaps. rather than 6 month gaps, and then the show falls off due to the length.
